ENGLAND, Justice.

This case was brought to us by petition for writ of certiorari directed to the First District Court of Appeal, asking that we reverse the decision of that court, reported at 336 So.2d 139, as being in direct conflict with this Court's decisions in Bryant v. Gray, 70 So.2d 581 (Fla. 1954), and Ervin v. City of North Miami Beach, 66 So.2d 235
