PtllalelpWa.' ffcWrm.TWVMU!J,mMV!M.tCmtt SCHOOL BOARD WINS IN BOTH INSTANCES Ifoncludnl finin I'Jge Kl it depends on the constltutlonailtv of the same Act of 1ST. In relation to the controller. It sah: "He shall havu the supervision and lonlml of the Us cal comet na of all departments, busi ness and officers, of the city nnd school district, etc.." and In another place that "the moiw s of the school dis trict shall be disbursed only on the warrant of the president and secretary of the board of school controllers, tnunt-rslgned by the city controller.' Nothing is said about the school bo.nd paying him. The only remuner ation mentioned Is that to be provided by councils. The city Is now working under the Act of 1889, while the school board con tinues to work under the Act of 1871, The Act of lSS'i. Artlce !), Section I to 6, specifically enumerates the duties of the city controller, but no dutv Is Im posed upon him with icsiieet to tho school district. On the strength of this, Mr. Howell claimed that the portion of the ,W of 1874 Imposing a duty on the controller was repealed by this Act of lSSfl, If Indeed it was not altogether unconstitutional. The Act of 1874 being unconstitu tional, or the section referring to school board work being done by the city con troller being repealed, there was noth ing demanding that the city controller should work for the school board, and Mr. Howell didn't propose to do It without pay. Judge Archbald sustained this con tention of the controller, and pending ti decision by the Supreme court, the board of contiol allowed Mr. Howell $100 a month to do the work. This al lowance now falls, and the mayor hav ing etoed ills allowance for clerk hire, ho is In a sorry piedlenment. District Solicitor Reedy appeared for tho board also In this case. City Solic itor Vosburg represented Mr. Howell. GIST OF THE OPINION. An Associated Piess dispatch fioin Philadelphia gives the following gist of the opinion: . "The Supreme court todav In a de cision by Justl -e Mitchell held that the act nf May 23, ls74, piovldlng for the classification of school dlstilcts of the third class Is (.(.institutional. It was alleged that the act was uncon stltutloral because It was local or special legislation. "The ease upon which tho opinion is basci' was a mandamus proceedliiJr against the school controllers- of Pitts, ton, L'ucerne county. In the opinion Justice Mitchell says dint tho law In question piovides that each city of the third cl iss shall bo the common prop-itv of the district and that the members of the board of school con trollers shall have power to levy and collect nxi.i Jt.d shnll govern and manage the public si hools In the man tier provided tor Hie maintenance of a system of common '(chcolr.
