Concurring Opinion
Bobbitt, J.
It seems to me that the questions presented in this appeal might have been fully decided simply by determining the authority of the circuit court under the provisions of Acts 1927, ch. 210, §4, p. 594, *193being §9-2212, Burns’ 1942 Replacement. This act specifically grants to the circuit court the authority to appoint a probation officer and fix his salary at an amount not in excess of $2,500 per year. In order to make the act effective these expressed powers must be construed to carry with them the implied power to compel the county council to appropriate funds sufficient to pay such salary and expenses of the probation officer appointed pursuant to the act.
For this reason I concur in the result of the majority opinion.
Note.—Reported in 125 N. E. 2d 709.
