Syllabus

<p>County Government Act—Compensation of Public Administrator of Tulare County—Separable Provision.— Conceding, without deciding, that the last clause of section 170 of the County Government Act of 1897, providing that it should take effect immediately, is unconstitutional, as being special legislation, the provision of that section that the compensation of the public administrator of Tulare county, as a county of the thirteenth class, should be (as before provided when it was of the eleventh class) “such fees as are now or may be hereafter allowed by law,” is valid, and separable from the last clause of that section, and was operative when the act, as a whole, took effect; and the public administrator of that county cannot thereafter demand compensation as a salaried officer.</p>
