SUIT FOR SALARY WON
BY TRANSIT EMPLOYEE
Court Orders Comptroller to
Pay in Test Case.

The 106 employees of the Transit Com
mission who have been unable TO collect
pay since the new body assumed charge
of affairs felt happier yesterday mas
much as a test case begun in the Su-
preme Court by one of their number.
Frank Bennett, was decided in his favor.
Justice Whitaker granted a writ OF
mandamus compelling Comptroller Craig
to pay Bennett his salary.
The Comptroller has been holding out
on the ground that no funds were availa-
BILE and that the new Transit Commits
sion act is unconstitutional. Justice
Whitaker holds that as there is an ad-
mtted 100000 unexpended balance in
the hands of the Comptroller from the
old Public Service Commission. and
which was supposed to be transferred
to the new Transit Commission. Ben
nett's salary must be paid out of 1t. He
declines. however, to pass upon the con-
stitutionality of the new transit act in
view of the fact that that phase is now
up before the Appellate Division for de-
Cision.
