No. 437
    STATE ex McCREHEN v. DONAHEY, Gov.
    No. 19756.
    Supreme Court
    In mandamus.
    Dock. April 5, 1926.
    747. MANDAMUS — Under 6373-25 should a writ of mandamus be allowed against the governor when he fails to appoint a real estate board?
    Attorneys — J. W. Jacoby and Knepper & Wilcox Columbus, for relator. ■;
   The petition alleges that the relator, John E. McCrehen is a citizen of the State of Ohio and an elector and tax payer in Columbus, Franklin County, Ohio; that he is a real estate broker as defined in 6373-25 GC.; that the respondent Vic Donahey is the Governor of Ohio; that 6373-25 GC. requires the respondent, as Governor to appoint a State Board of Real Estate Examiners; that the respondent has failed and refused to appoint such board and that the relator has no adequate remedy in law.

It is prayed that a writ of mandamus be issued requiring the respondent to appoint the Board as required by law.
