ACT NO. 684
AN ACT PROVIDING THAT CHARLES C. COHN, MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF TAX REVISION FOR THE CITY OF MANILA, SHALL BE PAID SALARY AS SUCH OFFICER, ALTHOUGH RECEIVING A SALARY AS REPORTER OF THE DECISIONS OF THE SUPREME COURT
SECTION 1. The disbursing officer of the Municipal Board is hereby authorized and directed to pay to Charles C. Cohn, member of the Board of Tax Revision for the city of Manila, the compensation provided by law for such position, notwithstanding the fact that said Cohn is the reporter of the decisions of the Supreme Court and receiving salary therefor, for the reason that the salary provided for the reporter of the Supreme Court was not intended to compensate such reporter for his entire time, it being expected that he could practice law or engage in other business without interfering with his duties as such reporter.
SECTION 2. The public good requiring the speedy enactment of this bill, the passage of the same is hereby expedited in accordance with section two of "An Act prescribing the order of procedure by the Commission in the enactment of laws," passed September twenty-sixth, nineteen hundred.
SECTION 3. This Act shall be effective as of the fifteenth day of January, nineteen hundred and three.
ENACTED, March 16, 1903.
