State, ex Rel. v. Zangerle

Supreme Court of Ohio
Mar 30, 1926
151 N.E. 194 (Ohio 1926)

Opinion

No. 19612

Decided March 30, 1926.

Municipal Court of Cleveland — Compensation of chief justice — Payment of portion from Cuyahoga county treasury — Section 1579-3, General Code — Constitutional law — Taxation — Mandamus.

IN MANDAMUS.

Mr. W.T. Kinder and Messrs. Tolles, Hogsett, Ginn Morley, for relator.

Mr. Edward C. Stanton, prosecuting attorney, Mr. Harry E. Parsons, and Mr. Guy R. Wheeler, for defendant.


This is an action instituted under the original jurisdiction of this court, praying a writ of mandamus to require the auditor of Cuyahoga county to issue a warrant on the treasurer of Cuyahoga county in the sum of $250; that amount being relator's compensation from the county of Cuyahoga for the month of January, 1926, due him as chief justice of the municipal court of Cleveland, it being alleged that the commissioners of said county had made due appropriation therefor. General Code, Section 1579-3, makes provision for payment out of the treasury of Cuyahoga county of a portion of the salaries of the judges of the municipal court of the city of Cleveland. The answer filed by the auditor raises the question of the constitutionality of the law. On consideration of the issue involved, it is the unanimous judgment of this court that the writ of mandamus must be allowed, upon the authority of State, ex rel. Mathews, v. Andrews, 97 Ohio St. 333, 120 N.E. 879, and Commissioners of Butler County v. State ex rel. Primmer, 93 Ohio St. 42, 112 N.E. 145.

Writ allowed.

MARSHALL, C.J., JONES, MATTHIAS, DAY, ALLEN, KINKADE and ROBINSON, JJ., concur.
