Heading: The York Case

Text: This action, the second stated in the above caption was brought by five members, who are a majority, of the former governing board of the county. There were nine members of that board as constituted by law at the time of the passage of the successor Act of 1950. One has since died and another has been appointed and has qualified for another office, which all litigants agree vacated his place. Thus there survive seven members of the former board, five of whom are plaintiffs, as stated, and are now appellants. The defendants are the Governor, the Senator from York County and the House member who did not join his three colleagues in recommending appointees or in instituting the Richland case. The object of the action was, in substance, to enjoin appointments by the Governor under the general laws. The complaint was dismissed and appeal followed. The questions involved in this appeal have been decided adversely to the appellants in the foregoing consideration of the appeal in the Richland case , and the ground need not be gone over again.
