Fatzer, J.,
dissenting: Where the Legislature waives governmental immunity from suits resulting from highway defects, and consent is given to actions against the State Highway Commission (K. S. A. 68-419), no logical reason exists why it should not stand in the same position as any other judgment debtor. K. S. A. 16-204 provides in part, that “[a] 11 judgments of courts of record . . . shall bear interest from the day on which they are rendered. . . .”
No compelling reason bas been advanced by the State Highway Commission why it should not be held liable to pay interest pursuant to 16-204 on the judgment rendered against it. I would reverse the case, and direct the district court to compute interest at the rate of six percent from the date the judgment was rendered.
