Rich v. Mayor of Malden
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Decided April 18, 1925PublishedCited by 15 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtBraley, J.
The defendant Kimball, mayor of the city of Malden, acting under G. L. c. 32, §§ 56-60, as amended by St. 1923, c. 386, retired the defendant Bagge, inspector of buildings, on half pay, which imposed upon the taxable inhabitants an annual expenditure during his life of $1,100 payable in monthly installments. If the statute is unconstitutional, as the plaintiffs contend, all other questions raised by the amended petition, and the demurrer of the defendants, on which the case is before us, need not be considered.
The bill contains no allegation that Bagge was not a veteran of the Spanish War…
