1Opinion of the Court

John A. Fogleman, Justice.

This appeal questions the propriety of the judgment of the circuit court sustaining the demurrer of appellees to appellant’s complaint alleging that he was entitled to the office of alderman of the second ward of North Little Rock and that appellee Edwards was usurping that office. Appellant May also sought to recover from the City of North Little Rock his legal fees incurred in seeking to establish his right to the office. The court, upon sustaining the demurrer, dismissed the complaint. We affirm as to the City of North Little Rock but reverse as to Dell Edwards.
