4 SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. [Filed January 4, 1891.] Appeal from Snperlor Court, Contra Costa County—Joseph P. Jones, Judge. For appellant. W. S. Tinning. For respondent, Chase, chase & Miller. IN BANK. W. A. Xi ns wood, Respondent, 1 vs. INo. 13,894. A. J. Soto. Appellant. ) The respondent was elected Superintendent of Bonoou for Contra Costa County at the ? general election held in 1880. His term was our years, commencing 0:1 the final Monday oi rannary following. In due time he quali fied and entered upon the discharge of his duties, and has ever since continued to hold the office. At the time of his election, Contra Costa was a county ofthe seventeenth class, and the Couuty Government Act contained the fol lowing provision in regard to his salary: "Sea&raa 179. Ii- counties of the seven-' teenth class, tbe county officers shall receive bs compensation for the services required of them by law, or by virtue of their oiiice, the following salaries, to wit: * * * "11. The Superintendent of Schools, *>TLBOO pas* annum." iStats. ISS.">, p. 170.) In March, 1 889, Section 15520f thel'oliticul Code was amended so as to read as follows: "See. 1552. Kaeh County Superintendent shall receive his actual and necessary travel ing expanses, said expenses to be allowed by the Board of Supervisors, and to he paid out of the county general fund; provided, thai this amount shall not exceed ten dollars per district i>er annum. He shall aitao be allowed postage and expieasage, payable out of the county school fund, two dollars for each school district; provided, that ill incorporated cities each school containing three hundred pupils shall be considered equal to one school district." After tins amended section took effect the respondent incurred. In the performance of bis official duties as school Buperintendent in visiting schools in Ids county, actual and ne cessary traveling expenses to the amount of ST 0 75. For mis amouut he presented a claim to the Board of Supervisors, properly itemized and verified, for allowance. The claim was examined and allowed bythe board and a warrant was ordered drawn on the County Treasurer therefor. The appellant was ( ounty Auditor at the time, and as such refused to draw the warrant ordered, and thereupon this proceeding was commenced to compel him to do so. After a hearing the court below granted the prayer of the petition and ordered a peremptory writ of mandate to issue, commanding the appellant to forthwith draw his warrant in favor of the petitioner upon the County Treasurer for the amount allowed and ordered paid by the Board of Supervisors. From that order or judgment this appeal is prosecuted. The only contention ol appellant is that Sec tion 1,052, copra, is Inapplicable and unconsti tutional, so Car as the r< SpOßdent is concerned, it having been passed after he was elected to ofliee, because, in authorizing the payment of his necessary traveling expenses, it in effect in creases the compensation or salary allowed him at tlie time ol his election. The clause ofthe Constitution retted upon reads as follows: "The compensation Of any county, city, town or municipal officer shall not be increased after his election or during his term Of office." (Art. XL. Sec. 9.) The words "compensation*' and "salary" "Were evidently used synonymously in the Constitution and in the County Government Act. Thus in Art. V., Sec. 19. of the Constitu tion it la provided: "The Governor, Lieuten ant-Governor, Secretary of state, Controller, Treasurer, Attorn, y-i iencrai and Siir-.cyor- General shall, at stated times during their c< ntlnnance In office, receive tor their se^ Ices a compensation which shall not be Increased or diminished during the term for which they shall have been elected," etc. In Article IX, Section 2, it is provided: "A Superintendent ot Public instruction shall, at each guber natorial election after the adoption of this Const itulie-n,be elected by the qualilicd electors of the stale. He shall receive a salary equal to thai ot the Secretary of State." etc. "And In Article VI.. Section 17, this language is used: "The Justices ofthe Supreme Court and Judges of the Superior Court shall severally, at Stated times during their continuance In office, receive for their services acompensatJon which shall not be increased or diminished after their election, nor during the term for which they shall havo been elected. The .sal aries of the Justices of the Supreme Court. shall be paid by the State. One-half Of the sal ary Of each Superior Court Judge shall be paid by the state; the other half thereof shall 1 c 1 aid oy the county for which he is elected. During the term of the first Judges elected un der this Constitution, the annual salaries of the Justices ofthe supreme Court snail be six thousand dollars each." In the County <iov ernment Act the same language is used at the commencement of each BCctlOß, which fixes the compensation Of couniy officers. It is: "Tiie county officers shall receive as compensa tion for the services required of them by law, or by virtue of their office, the following sala ries." since the adoption of the; present Constitu tion many Acts have tx-eii pnnnod by the Legislature, after the commencement of "terms of office, providing for the payment of neces sary expenses incident to the offices. Among them tiie following may be noted: The Just ices of ihe Supreme Court and "the Judges of the Superior Court, who were first elected under the Constitution, entered unon the discharge of their duties as such on'the first Monday of January, 1880. In April fol lowing, an Act was passed to amend Part I. of the Code of civil Procedure and substituting a new Part 1., to take the place thereof. (See Am. to Codes. 1 sso. p. gj.j By Section 47 of this Act it was provided that the Supreme Court shall hold regular sessions at the Capital Of the State, at the city nnd county ol San Francisco and at the city of Los Angeles; and thai "The Justices and officers ot" the Supreme Court shall be allowed their actual traveling expenses In going to and from their respective places ot residence upon the business ofthe court, or to attend its session." By Section " 1 it is provided that a Judge of any Super ior Court may hold the Superior Court in any county, at the request of the Judge of thai county, "and. -upon tbe request ofthi Governor, it shall be his duty to do bo." And by Section 100 it is provided that "A Judge so holding a court, at the request of the Governor, shall be-allowed his actual expenses in going to. returning front and attending ui«ou the business of such court, which shall tie a charge against the treasury of the count v where such court is lield aud paid out of the general fund thereof." iiie constitutionality of these provisions has in ver been questioned, so Car as we are ad vised. In any court or elsewhere, and vet, if the theory ofthe appellant be true, they would seem to have Been subject to the same ob jections raised here, during the terms ofthe Justices and Judges wlio were in office at the time Ihe Act was passed. The question now presented for decision does not appear to have been ever passed upon by the supreme Court of tin's State, but a similar question was before the Supreme Court of Illinois in Briscoe vs. Clark County (96 111. 009). The Constitution of that State provid ed that the County Board should fix the compensation or all county officers, With the amount of their necessary-expenses, "provided that the compensation of no officer shall be increased or diminished during his f. nu ol office." Tiie Supreme Court held that it was the salary of the county officer—the compensation for the personal discharge of official duty—which the board was forhiuden to change. The compensation or salary was to be lixed in advance, but the expenses were ; _ . 1 The Cod j fi That Hotps to Cure The CoSd.l , The disagreeable \ 'taste ofthe GQD LBVER OIL is dissipated in • I*9^ Via? £a Sa W EIIPP @^^EI | Of Pure Cod Liver Oil with ) HYPOPHOSPHITES ( of :li:m:e- soda, j The patient suffering from 1 CONSUMPTION, t B-Fttr-iCHi-TiK, ctiitH, co:.n, on j WASTIXG DISEASES, Baa* take tho 1 J remedy with as much satisfaction ng ho 1 j would tako milk.

Fast, Appellant. \ Action to recover the sum of 81,950. al leged tobe due plaint ill". Bar the balance of the purchase price of load conveyed by plaintiff to defendant. The court below gave plaintiff judgment for that sum, and also denied defendant's motion (bra new trial, and the defendant appeals from such judgment and order. The facts an found show, that on November 17, 18SG, plaintiff executed to appellant a deed of his t'ai-m. the appellant (agreeing In writing to pay therefor the sum of $4,000, and to give one-half of all, in excess of that BtLrn, which -ihe farm can bu Bold for Within i wo year-." such additional sum "to be also a part of the purchase price, when so sold (bra larger sum." It Is also found that on Sop. temhi-r 1, 1887, "appellant entered into an agreement in writing with one Kd. Culbert, whereby he sold to said Culbert the said par cels of land for the sum of $8,000." The principal question to be determined on this appeal is whether the Undine of the court in relation to The sale of the land is justified hy tlie evidence. It was shown upon the trial thai on September l, 1.--S7. the appellant and one Culbert entered Into an agreement in writing by .which the appellant "promises and agree! to (Kill and convey unto the party of ihe second pari it'ulbert) anil to make and execute and deliver lo him a died" of the land purchased by appellant from the plaintiff in this action. tlie said Cul bert "io have and to bold all and singular said premises, together with all the tenements, heredltatnenta and appurtenances thereunto belonging * * * except that por tion of the timber thereon,hereinafter men tioned and reserved unto the party of flu- first part." The agreement farther recited that the appellant was to have all the timber on said land, "except that on the southern line on the mesa, adjoining the Rlncon Rancho, and on the east end of said mesa." Itls clear that under appellant's agreement with respondent an actual state of the farm Within the time limited was not indispensabiy lii eessary in order to establish as a fact, the price for Which It could have been sold, and thus fix the liability of appellant thereunder. The appellant would not have been at liberty to reject any bona flile offer of purchase for a sum exceeding §5,000 without the consent of the respondent. But the complaint .alleges an actual sale to Culbert for the sum Of $8,000, and the Court so finds, and it is therefore necessary to consider whether such fact was established upon the trial. The appellant insists that there was no sale to Culbert at all, but only an agreement to sell. But WC arc Of opinion that such contention cannot be sustained. In the ease of Baton vs. Kiciicri, (S:t Cal. 185), the plaintiff therein was to wait for any balance that might be due him until certain mining property was sold and ah executory con tract for the sate <>f the mine was made, and the court held that the plaintiff could recover, saving: "The word ••■lid'does not mccssarily and in all connec tions mean that a conveyance must be made, or that the title must pass." The fact that no money was received by ap pellant on the contract is immaterial. The transaction v.as none the less a sale, and by it the equitable title of the property sold passed to Culbert. But in one respect the evidence does not sustain the finding of the court as to tiiis sale. The written agreement of sale con tained a reservation of standing timber, and, we think, notwithstanding some confusion in the e\ idence, that the real transaction be!wet n appellant and Culbert was a sale of the farm for the sum of 80,000, and the appellant re serving the growing timber thereon as speci fied In the contract Ol sale. The fact that this timber may have been estimated by both a]> pellant and < inlbert as ofthe value of 82,000, or that appellant's price for the land with tim ber standing was 88,000. and with a reserva tion of such timber "HJ.OOO, cannot change the terms of'the actual sale, as made to appear by the written contract of sale. By that contract, as we have said, the farm was sold for the sum of SO.OOO, the appellant reserving as an In terest iiierem the standing timber referred to, and proof 01' such a contract is at variance with the contract alleged In the complaint aad found by the court, and the finding that the farm was Bold for the sum of $8,000 is not sustained by tlie evidence. Undoubtedly the respondent's right to re cover on his contract IS not limited to the sum agreed to be paid by Culbert, but if he seeks to recover more it must be upon a complaint which shows the bets as they really exist. It is clear that upon the execution of tbecon tract of sale appellant disabled himself from thereafter accepting any bona fide oiler for the form,aad the respondent became entitled to recover, not only upon Hie basis of the price agreed to be paid oy Colbert, but in addition thereto one-half of the market, value of the standing timber reserved, or. at his option, one-half of the net sum for wliicli such timber may have been sold by appellant.

J On November 17. ISS4, during a recess of the Legislature, a vacancy existed in the mem bership of the state Board of Health, and on that day the appellant, Tyrrell, was appointed a member of said board, and in the commis sion Issued to him by the <4overnor it was re cited that lie was thereby appointed "a mem ber of the State Board of Health, vice F. W. Hatch, deceased,/or the term expiring January IK 188 S. Appellant duly qualified as such Officer November 111, IKB I,nnd since that date has continued to discharge the duties of said office-. Cpon January 20. 1885, the Legislature be ing in session, the Governor transmitted to the Senate a message informing that body of appellant's said appointment, on November 1 7, 1884, "far the term vf four yean, vice F. \i'. Hatch, deceased," and the Senate was re quested to consent thereto. The Senate took action upon said message, and fhe question, "will the Senate advise and consent to the ap^ DOintment of G. Q. Tyrrell of Sacramento as a member of the State Board of Health for the term of four years, vice F. W. Hatch de ceased?" was decided in the affirmative. The Governor did not thereafter issue to appellant any commission for said office, nor has he since such action of" the Senate taken any oath of office as a member of said Board. On .March is. I ssl), during a recess of the Legislature, the Governor appointed the re lator. Lv "me. to the said office of member of the state Board of Health, and upon that day he duly qualified as such. The- judgment of the court below was in .'a vor Ol the relator, and ousting the appellant from said office. From this judgment and an order denying his motion for anew trial the del. ndant, Tyrrell, appeals. We think the commission issued by the Governor to appellant on November 17 1964, must be held to have legal effect! simply as an appointment toT.ll the vacancy then existing, until the adjournment of the next session of the Legislature, as tbe Gov ernor was not authorized to make an appoint ment lor any longer lime than during the recess ofthe Legislature. (Pol. Code, Section 1000.. Upon the issuance of this commission the ! appointment to till such vacancy temporarily was complete, ami needed no action of the Senate to confirm, it (People vs. Cbzneau 20 cal. 504). And we think that under this com mission tlie appellant was vested with the right to hold said office until tlie appointment andqauilfieation of a antecessor, in the mode provided by law. Section 879 of the Political Code declares: "Every officer must continue to discbarge the duties of his office, although his term has expired, until his successor liiis qualified," and Section 1000 of tiie Political Code- doe- not create an exception to this rule. In the case of officers temporarily ai> pototedby the Governor. Tne language Tot that section, "but the person so appointed can only hold tiie office until the adjournment of tlie next session of the Legislature" simply means when construed with Section s7i'. as it must be. that the term of such ap pointed officer shall expire upon the aniourn in-nt of the next session of tin- Legislature, .1 id his successor may take his place; but if n> successor has been appointed, then the v ry condition of affairs intended to be pro vided flwby section 879 has arisen and that s -ctinn applies. It la the nettled law of this state that the m -re expiration of tbe term of tlie incumbent M an office does not create a vacanev therein such as the Governor alone ts authorized to fill by the appoinmeut of a Successor, ipi-ople vs. Tilton, 37 Cal. 014; People vs. BisselL49 Cal. 407.) It would follow from this that the appoint ment of the relator during a recess of the Legislature was invalid, unless, under Section "'•.■ as of the Political code, a vacanev was created by tbe failure of the appellant to take and file his official oath arter the confirmation of the Senate. The obligation to take and file such oath did not arise unless the message of the Governor announcing the appointment of appellant during the recess, und the action of the Senate advising and consenting to the same, runs, i; uted an appointment of appellant as his own. successor. But even construing these acta M the Governor and Senate as a nomination and confirmation of appellant as his own successor (and whether tliev can be so construed we do not determine;, such appoint ment was not completed, ao commission havinp- Ixx-n subsequently issued to theap pellttnl. In the matter of an executive ap pointment, with the consent ofthe Senate, the issuance of a commission is not a mere minis terial act, but isa part of the aci oat appoint ment. If is this act which completes the ap pointment, as well as perpetuates the evidence of it. (People vs. Murray, 70 N. Y. 5260 And this is also the doctrine of the case of Conger vs. Gilmer 182 Cul., 7(i). It follows mat the court below cired in ren dering judgment for the relator upon the find ings.
