tice. About a month after his dis
missal, the council passed a resolu-
| ton discharging Mr.. Waters Off
cially, and the defendant claimed
that his salary should have run until
thirty days after the resolution was

salary at $50 month. However. it
is held by the city that his salary
was only $50 per month, and that
he was to get $50 per month for the
| use OF his horse. The court decided
! that the horse could be discharged
| without notice, and did not give Mr..
| Waters anything for the horse dur
ing the thirty days, because it was
not used.
Mr.. Waters claims that he has
not yet received the written notice
to which he claims to be entitled.

notice. Therefore he holds that he
has not yet been discharged and

charged, last December up to date,

not yet decided to do so. Mr.. Schaub
says that he will have to study the
case little more and determine
whether this would be wise move.
