County Attorney submitted the following
opinion in the matter of Commissioners extra
services:
The Honorable, The Board OF County Com
niSSiOnerS of Mason County. Gentlemen:
You requested ME to file and present several
petitions for all owance by Superior Court for
extra service rendered by each of you, indIv1d-
ually in discharge of your duties as County
commissioners, pursuant to, the law IN that
case made and provided. There are now pend
ing two petitions to which demurrers were hled
among the grounds of which that of non-Jur-
iSdictiOn of the court is raised. After very
careful study of the whole situation, and recog
| nizing that there is an adjudication by the
Superior Court of Thurston unity, that SAID
law is unconstitutional, 1 am compelled to rec
ognize that the demurrerS upon that point are
we'll taken, and l shall move the Court to DIS
miss those pet tons that ground: Want OF
Jur isd1cti III. The case above mentioned MAD
been decided. and was familiar with the rea-
sons of that decision when presented the
pending petitions to the Court, but l was then
under the imp eSSOn that the case was gong
up to the Supreme Court of the State, for nm al
adjudication Lately / have been author1t1ye-
1y informed that the decision in the Thurston
County case by the Superior Court has been
accepted by the parties thereto, as a hnal re-
suit and that the case will not go up to the ST.
preme Court.
The we'll known learning and ability of the
judge who decided that case compels me to re-
t1af
