## Opinion text

McCann, J. (dissenting):
I dissent. When the statute says: “On and after the taking effect of this act [September 1, 1924] there shall be no discrimination in the determination of the amount to be paid or the payments to be made,” etc., it means that there shall be no discrimination either in fixing or in the payment of salaries.
Order reversed on the law and proceeding dismissed, with costs.
