1Opinion of the CourtNourse, P. J.
Plaintiff sued as a taxpayer, under section 526a of the Code of Civil Procedure, to restrain the municipal officers of the city and county of San Francisco from paying the salary attached to the office of captain of police to one alleged to have been illegally promoted from a lieutenancy.
