ON REHEARING.

DETHMERS, J.

For the reasons set forth in the opinion of Mr. Justice SOURIS in this case on its original hearing (1968), 380 Mich. 390, and my opinion on rehearing in Fisher-New Center Company v. State Tax Commission, 381 Mich. 713, in which the *719 record and proceedings before the State tax commission are so markedly similar to those in the instant case, I would reverse and remand for rehearing before the State tax commission in accordance with the hearing procedures suggested in the SOURIS opinions in this case and in Fisher-New Center Company v. State Tax Commission (1969), 380 Mich. 340.

Costs to plaintiff.
