Joslin, J.,
concurring. I concur in the result-. Whether in the circumstances the petitioner’s refusal to answer the mayor’s inquiries about departmental matters constituted insubordination presents, in my opinion, a question of law and not of fact. Inasmuch as the board’s decision can be upheld because the record contains legal evidence in support of their findings on the other charges preferred, a resolution of the legal question as to -whether the petitioner was insubordinate is unnecessary.
Roberts, J., concurs in the opinion -o£ Mr. Justice Joslin.
