EsPY SCHOOL BOARD LAW
Declared by state Supreme Court TO
Be Unconstitutional.

Columbus, O.-Without reporting
the case, and resting on the grounds
for reasons stated in the opinion Of
the circuit court, the supreme court
affirmed the decision of the former
tribunal in the case Of John NJ. With
row against the state ex rel Stephen
B. Marvin. from Hamilton county.
Thus is ended the Espy small school
board law, which was for a short time
in operation in Cincinnati Upon the
organization of the board of educa-
ton of Cincinnati under the Espy
law, the plaintiff in error was chosen
president. The defendant in error re-
sented this, as he held the same office
under the law of 1904. He appealed
to the circuit court for relief, and Mr..
Withrow was ousted from office on
the ground that the Espy bill was un-
constitutional. The opinion of the
court was that It was clear that the
intent and purpose of the act was not
TO affect the four other large cities OF
the state, placed in the same class by
the act of 1904.

IMPORTANT DECISION RENDERED
Practically Multiplying Prosecuting A.
torney's Act.

Cincinnati, O.-Practical nullifica-
tion OF the so-called prosecuting attor-
ney's act is seen in the opinion rem
dered by Judge John G. O'Connell, Of
the common pleas court, holding that
the employment of special counsel to
represent Hamilton county in a taxa
tion suit is valid Recently the SUI
perior courts OF the state have held
that the county commissioners have
no right to employ special counsel In
civil suits. This was attempted both
in Cleveland and Cincinnati. In the
case just reported Judge o'Connell
holds that the commissioners, when
requested to do so by county official,
may authorize this employment, while
having no power to employ for them
selves. In Cincinnati the Big Four
iailroad brought suit to enioin the
county auditor from collecting certain
taxes upon warehouse property, and
that officer asked and obtained permis-
sion to employ two attorneys to rep
resent him.
