In the Matter of the Application of James C. Waldron, Respondent, for a Mandamus Order against The Board of Education of the City of New York, Appellant.
   The decision of this court handed down on October 21, 1932 [ante, p. 808], is hereby amended to read as follows: Peremptory mandamus order unanimously affirmed, with costs, as a matter of law and not in the exercise of discretion. The board of education resolution of March 11, 1932, in so far as it affects the relator, is in violation of section 31 of the Civil Service Law and beyond the board’s power to adopt. If the situation requires action of the character indicated in the resolution, legislative authority is needful to give validity to such action. Present — Young, Hagarty, Carswell, Scudder and Davis, JJ.
