189 Ill. App. 449

Opinion of the Court

Mr. Justice Smith

delivered the opinion of the court.

7. Mandamus, § 54*—when ordinance does not make acts to building commissioner discretionary. The mere fact that a commissioner of buildings is required by ordinance to determine whether or not certain facts exist which, by the provisions of the ordinance, require him to act, does not make the act which he is to perform discretionary.
