New York Court of Appeals

1Per curiam

Mandamus is not the proper remedy. There was no clear, legal duty on the part of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund to certify the resolution.

The question as to the power of the Comptroller is not decided. (Cf. Matter of Craig v. Matthews, 238 N. Y. 88; Craig v. Commissioners of Sinking Fund, etc., 208 App. Div. 412; McCarthy v. Mills, 214 App. Div. 70.)

The order should be affirmed, with costs.

Pound, Ch. J., Crane, Lehman, O’Brien, Hubbs and Crouch, JJ., concur; Kellogg, J., not sitting.

Order affirmed.
