Book Description
Excerpt from Report of the Geological Survey of Ohio, Vol. 6: Economic Geology On February 1, 1887, the date fixed by the Legislature, the chapters for Volume VI were presented for publication, and on March 11, the volume was ordered to be published, the necessary appropriations being voted for this purpose. The action of the Legislature in ordering the publication was practically unanimous, only two opposing votes being cast against the bill. Immediate steps were taken to carry out this action, but to the surprise and regret of all concerned, it was found, after the adjournment of the Legisla ture, that by clerical oversight, the bill had neither been enrolled nor signed. On account of its imperfect condition, the Auditor of State refused to count it law and to place upon his books the appropriation which the Legislature had voted. The question was brought before the attorney-general, who confirmed the decision of the Auditor of State. In the endeavor to avoid, if in any way possible, the delay in publication that would thus be occasioned, and with the approval of Governor Foraker, who counted it well that the question involved should be definitely settled, the State Geologist brought suit in the Supreme Court of Ohio, by Hon. George K. Nash, in the name of the firm who had contracted to supply the paper for publication, to compel the Auditor of State to place upon his books the appropriation which the Legislature had, as all agreed, designed to make. The Court pronounced an elaborate opinion through Justice Spear, sustaining the position of the Auditor of State and Attorney General.
