Heading: The Salary Claim

Text: As to A above, concerning Arta's claim for $300 per month salary for four years: It is not to be gainsaid that in order to receive such a salary from the partnership there would have had to be an express agreement to that effect. [1] Arta insists that there was such a written agreement. The only written evidence presented on that matter was an unsigned document in her handwriting containing the notes from which she says the agreement was typed by a Mr. Lund. The latter in fact testified concerning having done so and that it contained the $300 per month provision. The opposing evidence which would tend to justify the trial court's refusal to find as Arta claims, in addition to the plaintiff's denial that such agreement was entered into, is thus: A notary, a Mrs. Covington, who is supposed to have notarized the agreement, said she had verified only two documents with Mr. Corbet's signature. Two such documents were presented in evidence and neither was the agreement concerning the $300 per month wage. There is no indication that the $300 per month was ever drawn or paid.
