Ludwick's Appeal

Opinion by

Baldrige, J.,

McKean is a county of the sixth class. Fred T. Ludwick, sheriff of that county, on January 1, 1934, appointed K. W. Dick as a clerk or deputy for the year 1934, and requested the salary board to fix his compensation. At a meeting, attended by the sheriff as a member and participant in the actions of the board, it was determined, by a vote of four to one, that Dick’s services were not necessary for carrying on the business of the sheriff’s office. The board accordingly refused to fix a salary for him. On appeal, the court of common pleas sustained the action of the board.
