DREW, Chief Justice. In his final decree the able chancellor below directly passed on the validity of a state statute in disposing of appellant City’s contention that
Chapter 57 — 1313, Laws of Florida, Acts of 1957, was unconstitutional because it violated the provisions of
Section 20 of
Article III of the Florida Constitution. He held: “2. That
Chapter 57-1313, Laws of Florida, is constitutional and not in violation of
Section 20,
Article III, of the Constitution of Florida, in that it is the opinion of the Court that the main purpose of the said Act is valid, and that the impact of such act upon the duties of the County Commissioners of Escambia County, Florida, is only incidental to such main purpose.” We agree.
