The opinion
WOOD, J., Concurring.
I concur in the judgment in so far as it concerns petitioners Brown and Brady. I do not concur in the view that the other petitioners are not barred by laches. If their petitions had been promptly filed the state would not now be compelled to pay to them salaries for a long period of time during which the benefit of their services was not received.
Appellants’ petition for a hearing by the Supreme Court was denied April 17, 1941. Curtis, J., voted for a hearing. Traynor, J., took no part in the consideration or decision of this matter.
