*263Edwards, J.
(concurring). The opinion filed by Chief Justice Dethmers in this case is based upon ample case precedent by which Michigan has to this point followed the doctrine of governmental immunity. I concur that this is the law, while retaining the grave doubts expressed in my dissent in Richards v. Birmingham School District, 348 Mich 490, 514, as to whether or not it should continue to be. This case is, of course, distinguished from the Richards Case by the fact that no proprietary function question is presented here.
Smith, Black, Yoelker, and Kavanagh, JJ., concurred with Edwards, J.
