§ 412.

1.

History: Enacted March 12, 1872; amended February 28, 1903, Stats. and Amdts. 1903, p. 60; March 20, 1909, Stats. and Amdts. 1909, p. 539; May 5, 1917, Stats. and Amdts. 1917, p. 278. In effect July 27, 1917.

Partial repeal. This section is not expressly repealed by Stats. 1913, p. 639 et seq. so far as it purports to create the office of superintendent and cashier of the motor vehicle department, but it is repealed by implication because of an irreconcilable conflict in provisions. - Mansfield v. Chambers, 26 Cal. App. 499, 147 Pac. 595.

§ 413.

1. Practically substituted for § 420, repealed in 1911.-Mansfield v. Chambers, 26 Cal. App. 499, 147 Pac. 597.

§ 415.

1. Abolition of office-Motor vehicle officer.— The office of superintendent and cashier of the motor vehicle department of the office of Secretary of State created by the amendment of 1909 to section 415 of the Political Code, for the purpose of facilitating the execution of the provisions of the motor vehicle act of 1905 by the Secretary of State, was abolished by the act of the legislature of 1913, transferring the control of the motor

vehicle department from the office of Secretary of State to that of the state department of engineering, notwithstanding the latter act does not by express language repeal the part of such code section creating such office.-Mansfield v. Chambers, 26 Cal. App. 499, 147 Pac. 595.

2. A public officer, at least one whose term and compensation are not prescribed by the constitution, has no contract by which he can have or hold either his office or his salary against the legislative will, and it is therefore within the legitimate power of the legislature to abolish at any time any public office created by it.-Mansfield v. Chambers, 26 Cal. App. 499, 147 Pac. 595.

3. The office of superintendent and cashier of the motor vehicle department, as a branch of the office of Secretary of State, being wholly of legislative creation, is subject to the control of the legislature and therefore to any regulation or disposition which that department may elect to make concerning it.-Mansfield v. Chambers, 26 Cal. App. 499, 147 Pac. 595.
