Mr. Justice Hershey, dissenting: As in the case of People ex rel. Anderson Monument Co. v. Rosehill Cemetery Co. 3 Ill.2d 592, 600, I must dissent to this opinion. The majority again sanctions an extension of the remedy of quo warranto far beyond that contemplated by the legislature and contrary to time honored principles of law. The principles stated in my dissent to the Rosehill opinion are as fully applicable here as there, and I reaffirm and restate my entire position therein. The alleged ultra vires acts of the Oak Woods Cemetery Association should not be subject to attack by another corporation by quo warranto merely because they are competitors in the sale of cemetery monuments. Mr. Justice Keingbiel joins in this dissent.
