Bronson, J.
(specially concurring). I concur in affirmance of the order. I agree that the defendant, upon the facts alleged, was engaged in the performance of a governmental function. While so engaged* under well settled principles of law, recognized and followed in this state, the defendant was not liable for its negligence. Montain v. Fargo, 38 N. D. 432, L.R.A.1918C, 600, 166 N. W. 416, Ann. Cas. 1918D, 820; Moulton v. Fargo, 39 N. D. 502, L.R.A.1918D, 1108, 167 N. W. 717; Snider v. St. Paul, 51 Minn. 466, 18 L.R.A. 151, 53 N. W. 763; notes in 37 L.R.A. 301 and 49 L.R.A.(N.S.) 1026. If it be desirable to change this well-settled principle of law, the complaint should be addressed to the legislature for legislative enactment. Plumbing Supply Co. v. Board of Education, 32 S. D. 270, 142 N. W. 1131; notes in 37 L.R.A. 301 and 49 L.R.A.(N.S.) 1026.
