State ex rel. Ferguson v. Maloon

Bell, J.,

concurring. My concurrence in the syllabus and in the judgment being rendered herein is based on the broader and, in my opinion, more fundamental ground of authority lawfully reposed in the Department- of Finance by the General Assembly. This issue raised by the pleadings seems to me a more logical basis for decision than a lack of statutory authority to reimburse a state officer for traveling expenses, which latter issue was not presented to us by either pleading, brief or argument.

Zimmerman, J., concurs in the foregoing concurring opinion.
