Dissenting Opinion

PEARSON, Judge

(dissenting).

I respectfully dissent from the holding that appellants’ case was not a proper one for a class action. It appears to me that this action against the City of Miami Beach falls exactly within the rule announced by the Supreme Court of Florida in Tenney v. City of Miami Beach, 152 Fla. 126, 11 So.2d 188 (1942). I would therefore reverse the order which dismissed the class action aspect of the cause.
