Description
The plaintiffs, George Eckroth and Margaretha Eckroth, husband and wife, petitioned the district court of Morton county for a writ of mandamus directing the members of the Public Welfare Board of North Dakota to grant and pay to each of the petitioners from the North Dakota Old Age Assistance Fund an amount not less than $30 per month, under the provisions of chapter 211, N.D. Session Laws 1937, as amended by the initiated measure approved at the general election held on November 8, 1937. The trial court dismissed the petition and the plaintiffs appeal. The determination of the controversy involves the consideration of chapter 211, as amended, which is known as the Old Age Assistance Act. The petition alleges that the plaintiffs are qualified recipients of assistance under the Old Age Assistance Act, and that prior to December 8, 1938, the effective date of the amendment, George Eckroth was receiving from the North Dakota Old Age Assistance Fund the sum of $20 per month, and Margaretha Eckroth was receiving the sum of $17 per month; that they have no other money income or available sources of such income; that they own no marketable, personal, or real property other than necessary clothing and household goods, and a dwelling worth $2,000 which they occupy as a home; that they are entitled to and have applied for increases in the amount of assistance to at least $30 per month each.
