Conley Byrd, Justice. I dissent to the affirmance of this case because as I understand the facts both the City of Little Bock and the majority of this Court are denying to Mrs. Marling privileges that are granted to others similarly situated. The record here shows that the property abutting Markham Street on the North from Cedar Street, the 4000 block, to McKinley Street, the 6500 block, is all zoned “E-l” Quiet Business or “F” Commercial except for the three block area where Mrs. Marling’s property is located. In other words commencing one block east of Mrs. Marling, the City permits a use of the property abutting Markham Street for a five block area to the east that is denied to Mrs. Marling. Then commencing one and one-half blocks west of Mrs. Marling the City for a twenty-six block area to the west permits a nse of the property abutting Markham Street, as does Mrs. Marling’s property, that is denied to Mrs. Marling. For these reasons I would reverse the judgment of the trial court.
