Syllabus

<p>I. When a public officer claims a salary, fees, or compensation for services rendered to the public, he must show an act of assembly authorizing his demand; if he cannot show such act of assembly, he cannot recover compensation for the sendees rendered.</p> <p>2. A city school district, which is organized under a special act and never accepted the provisions of §§ 41-14, act of May 23, 1874, P. L. 230, is not liable to the city controller for compensation for services in auditing its accounts, though rendered in obedience to a resolution of the district.</p>
