*676O’Hara, J.

(concurring in affirmance).

I concur in the result reached by Mr. Justice Adams for the reasons set forth in the opinion of the appeal board which is quoted in Justice Adams’ opinion. Since the appeal board did not, by its opinion, purport to overrule any judicial precedent, I do not discuss that aspect of Mr. Justice'Black’s opinion. I hold rather that the well-reasoned opinion of the appeal board reconciled what it denominated the “seemingly inconsistent opinions” heretofore handed down.
It is axiomatic that while we are not bound by the construction of a statute made by the tribunal charged with the responsibility of its administration, we accord weight thereto. See Wyandotte Savings Bank v. State Banking Commissioner, 347 Mich 33, 48, and the authorities there cited.
I vote to affirm.
