Undercofler, Justice,
dissenting. It has been held that the phrase “ ‘for educational purposes,’ [contained in the Georgia Constitution, 'Code Ann. § 2-5501, Article VII, Section II, Paragraph I] is broad enough to cover all things necessary or incidental to the furtherance of education. . .” Board of Commissioners of Roads & Revenues of Twiggs County v. Bond, 203 Ga. 558 (47 SE2d 511). In my opinion this definition would include the school lunch program here in issue because it contributes to the overall effectiveness and efficiency of our educational system.
I am authorized to state that Justice Grice concurs in this dissent.
