18 Ohio Law. Abs. 135 | Ohio Ct. App. | 1934
OPINION
The sole question presented in this error proceeding is whether the charter provisions or the state law govern in this case; §486-17a, GC, providing' for an' appeal to the Court of Common Pleas from the order of the civil service commission, and the city charter providing that the decision of the civil service commission shall be final.
In 28 O. Jur., “Municipal Corporations,” §120, p. 228, it is said:
“The provisions of Home Rule charters, adopted pursuant to the authority granted by §7 of Article 18 of the Constitution, and of ordinances adopted pursuant to the authority of §3 of such article, in so far as they constitute an exercise of the powers of local self-government conferred by such sections, as distinguished from mere police regulations, and in so far as they comply with constitutional requirements and do not exceed constitutional limitations, supersede provisions of general laws on the same subject, in so far as concerns their operation within the municipality.” '
See also cases cited thereunder.
. This question has been passed upon so repeatedly that further discussion is unnecessary.
Civil service in reference to employees of municipalities is-peculiarly a matter of local
Judgment affirmed.
