People Ex Rel. Goldowitz v. Karnes
New York Court of Appeals
People Ex Rel. Goldowitz v. Karnes, 28 N.E.2d 977 (N.Y. 1940)
283 N.Y. 764; 1940 N.Y. LEXIS 1183
People Ex Rel. Goldowitz v. Karnes
Opinion of the Court
Order affirmed, without costs; no opinion.
Concur: Loughran, Finch, Rippey, Sears, Lewis and Conway, JJ. Lehman, Ch. J., dissents on the ground that the cases which hold that there can be no casting vote unless there be a tie are based upon statutes which specifically so provide. In this case it appears from a reading of the statute that the Mayor has a casting vote whenever his vote would be a vote that turns the scab (Cf. Oxford Dictionary).
