Dane County v. Barron County

We shall state only such facts as are necessary to a disposition of the principal questions raised in this case. First, we shall consider the contention of the defendant that the department had no jurisdiction to try and determine the question of the liability of the town of Rice Lake for the reason that sec. 49.03 (8a), Stats., was void because of an unconstitutional delegation of judicial power to the board. Counsel requests the court to re-examine Holland v. Cedar Grove (1939), 230 Wis. 177, 282 N. W. 111, 282 N. W. 448, and overrule it.

Holland v. Cedar Grove was decided February 7, 1939.…
