CONTROLLER'S NAME
. IS NOT NECESSARY
SCHOOL WARRANTS DO NOT
NEED HIS SIGNATURE.
Judge Atchbald's Decision in tho
Caso Brought to Test tho City
Contioller's Right to Compensa
tion for Supervising the Accounts
of the School Disttict 13 Handed
Down A Way Out of n Seeming
Difficulty Arising from the Repeal
of tho New County Act.
Judge Archhald, ji'Steiday, handed
down two opinions', una ilt-iidlng thiit
thu illy icnttoller cannot be comj clli-d
to couiitei-lpn school boatd w.iriatit.s
In 11 thltil class city, and tho otlief
I tiling that mnti;aes filed in LuEstno
Lotttity cannot be salNhcil by oiilct- of
II Judge- of this county.
The first mentioned rullntr was In tho
test cast- ol Washburn, Williams' eS; Co ,
iit-alnst City Conttolier Ilscltas Howell,
which was brought anile ably tu test
the controller's ritdit to compensation
for counti'tslsnlnp school wnnants.
Tho net of May .'1, 1S74, under the
in oi Isle. us of which the controller has
bui'ti exculslni; nil attcMtoihtl supervis
ion of the school ellstilct fundn, t.iakoi
no iiicutlon In Its title of nn thing save
municipal ufi.ilis. Th- clauses of the
act bearing on tins mullet lend sub
stiintlally, 'Tho tonttolkr shall sui
liettlse th j aiioutits of all cltv nlllcei.s
nnd the school disttict." Under the
genua! school laws It was suH.clent
lor the incident and seiietniy of tho
hi hool boirel to sign sihool disttict
wait ants to make them payable.
.must H13 innucT.
Judge Auhbald hold that the claus
es In cuiestloii of the not of 1S"1 i a
mntcili'l legislation of the tt'fili.i of
the school ilKtilct u'lil niust be un
dertaken by dliLit mid not by Inel
elental legislation. Kuitliei he says:
No Intlmaej ot icl.itloii betwten iltles
of the thltd il.iss and the school illstllcls,
which are coteimlnus, will lustily such
n Joint Lii.iiini'iit If 1111 pioilslon ol
this chiuaetir la to be exUiulod to such
districts they ,nu nitltleo to notice bv a
statute, the title- to which shall dlsclVe
tin' Intention to do so, It tiiiinot be 1111
dn taken In an act wh'ih pm ports In Its
title to deal with iltics or the third class
only. The nit to thN itrnt Is l1c.iiI
uneonsiltiitlonnl nnd the topnuiUut was
Jtistlfkd In rctiislng to reiognlzc it. This
lew cone-ponds with that i'piesscc by
MiPhuson J, in linker is. McKce, t!
Dist. t'i'i, wheie a peremptoiy mandamus
was auaiekd on the school tieasurer of
HariNliiirg tn compel him to lionor the
warrant of the pnsldeut and socreta-y
ot the schiol board. althcnKh not couu-teislm-ed
by the city conttolier.
Tiie 1 tile- for the mandamus to com
pel tho conttolier to lotiuteislun the
school dlstiict wnnants Is dNehuigt-.l.
This means that the school win rants
beieaftci- will not go to the city con
ttollei'H ofliee at all. The slgnatuie of
the picslilent .i(i seciet.uy Is nil the
will hei eafter bear.
The second case was bi ought by
Cathciine Ollendlke, ot Throop, to hate
satlsfactlon enteiL'd on a moitgage cm
n pi opci ly In this county that l.s 10
loulccl in l.uzeme county.
CANNOT UK DO.VI3.
Judge Auhbald si.is this cannot be
done, as the l.aikaw .11111,1 couit laiks
Juilsdlctlon. The "new county" act of
P-79 piniiili'd that a c ei titled copy of
the lecouls in ...o parent county might
be tiansinitted tu the new county and
then pioietded upon as If oilginalh
lecorded in the now county. This net
howet or has been lepe.ikd and this
piiHlslon lulls.
Judge Aichbald, howeter, sees a way
out ot the ditlle ulty. He says:
Theie Is nothing that we lan see to
pieicnt a le-tntiy of tho nioitgagu In
thlo lounl) as though li had unci he
