Neuls v. City of Scranton
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · Decided April 24, 1905 · Brown, Dean, Elkin, Mitchell, Potter
211 Pa. 581; 61 A. 77; 1905 Pa. LEXIS 506

Neuls v. City of Scranton

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam,

The constitutionality of the Act of March 7, 1901, P. L. 20 was expressty affirmed in Com. v. Moir, 199 Pa. 534. Every question advanced now, including the constitutional power of *582the legislature to remove, or to authorize directly or indirectly the removal of an elected municipal officer, was there considered and determined adversely to appellant’s present contention.

In Neuls v. City of Scranton, 20 Pa. Superior Ct. 286, it was shown that the act of 1901 authorized the recorder to remove an assessor previously elected. It is unnecessary to add anything further on the subject.

Judgment affirmed.
