    Oscar A. Ross v. State of Illinois.
    
      Opinion filed December 19, 1908.
    
    License Fee — Di Cosola v. State ante followed. This claim is similar to that of Di Cosola v. State, supra, and- the law governing the allowance of that claim applies to this claim;
    E. L. Harpham and C. W. Greenfield, for Claimant.
    W. H. Stead, Attorney General, for State.
   Oscar A. Ross, claimant herein, seeks to recover two hundred ($200.00) dollars on account of the payment by him of a license fee in that amount to Honorable James A. Rose, Secretary of State, on or about November 14,1901, for a license to operate a ‘1 private employment agency for hire” in the city of Chicago, under an Act of the General Assembly, relative thereto, passed April 11, 1899, and going into effect July 1, 1899, held unconstitutional by the Supreme Court April 24,1903, in the case of Mathews v. The People, 202 Ill., 389.

This case is on the same state of facts and involves the same questions as in the case of Michaele Di Cosola v. The State, decided by this Court at the present term, and in which an award was made in favor of claimant. What we said and held in that case controls in- this; and likewise, as in that case, the Honorable Attorney General consents to an award herein in the sum of two hundred ($200.00) dollars.

We, therefore, accordingly award claimant the sum of two hundred ($200.00) dollars.
