1Opinion of the CourtSeevers, J.
The precise questions presented in this case were determined adversely to' the appellant in Bryan v. The City of Des Moines, 51 Iowa, 590. In an able argument counsel for appellant question the correctness of our former decision. A careful consideration of all that has been said, and further reflection, confirms .the conviction that the1 Bryan case was correctly determined. It, therefore, follows, that this case must be affirmed unless there is a distinction in principle between the two cases. This is claimed, and we shall briefly inquire whether it in fact exists.
