dation of the county and city comptroller
ships was invalid because It did not repeal
the sections OF the charter now in exist
ence relating to the office Of city comp
troller. The pivotal point was whether or
not the invalid consolidation law was the
principal inducement for the passage Of
the main act creating the office of comp
troller. Judge Redick decided it was. and
for this reason held the main act invalid
The supreme court however, held it was
not the inducement for the enactment of
the main act and hence was valid
Mr. Solomon has already announced his
staff of assistants and has completed most
of the steps necessary to qualify for the
office
Like the young woman who received the
proposal, this is so sudden I am unable
now to say Just what course / will take. q"
said Mr.. Solomon Friday when the de-
cison was announced to him. He could
not state just when he would resign as
county commissioner or when he would
qualify for county comptroller.
The supreme court probably will be
asked to return a mandate in the case at
once in order that Mr.. Solomon may begin
the duties OF the office at once. II was
said Friday afternoon the plaintiff in the
case would probably agree to a stipulation
allowing an immediate return Of the man-
date. In case this is done the comptroller's
office viii probably be opened early next
week.

County Commissioner Emmett Solomon

day holding the office to which he was
elected in November TO be legally con-

OF Omaha against the county board TO
ascertain the constitutionslity OF the
comptroller law was dismissed, the injunc-
tion granted against Mr.. solomons filling
the office was dissolved. and the decision
OF Judge Redick was reversed.
The decision OF the court is that the
chapter OF the session laws providing 'the
county comptroller shall be ex-officio city
comptroller was not an inducement 10 the
passage OF the county comptroller act,
Chapters Xxxvih, xxxvi and xxxviii were

paragraphs the following:

Speaking further of the case in his opin-

1t is probable that the local Judge. a
resident of Douglas county and Of the city
OF Omaha, is more COnVCrsant with the
local demand than this court and has
taken judicial notice thereof II would
seem that his decision, which is on file In
this case, is based somewhat upon this
elusive quantity. But this court scarcely
feels justified i'm basng its constr ruction OF
the constitutionality Of this act upon such
