Head Matter:
The State, ex rel. Ridge, et al., Appellees, v. Moon, Dir., et al., Appellants.
(No. 7239
Decided May 21, 1963.)
Mr. Edwin M. Tuttle and Mr. Joseph 8. Deutschle, Jr., for appellees.
Mr. William B. Saoobe, attorney general, and Mr. James E. Rattan, for appellants.

Opinion:
Dufey, P. J.
This was originally an appeal on questions of law and fact; and on January 14, 1963, the appeal on questions of law and fact was dismissed and was retained as an appeal on questions of law only. The relators, appellees herein, now move this court for an order dismissing the appeal on questions of law for the reason that the respondents, appellants herein, have failed to file a bill of exceptions within the time provided by law. The respondents contend that the errors assigned are apparent on the face of the record and that no bill of exceptions is required to portray them.
The entry of the trial court shows that a motion for judgment was made at the conclusion of the opening statements of counsel, and the court's ruling was based on the pleadings and opening statements of counsel. In the absence of a bill of exceptions, the opening statements of counsel are not before this court, but accepting the respondents' contention that the errors assigned are portrayed on the face of the record and a bill of exceptions is not needed, the motion to dismiss the appeal will be denied at this time.
The motion for an order to dismiss the appeal is denied. See Mellman v. Golden, 91 Ohio Law Abs., 54.
Motion denied.
Bryant and Troop, JJ., concur.
(Decided October 22, 1963.)
