1Opinion of the CourtJustice McCamant

Plaintiff calls attention to the absence of assignments of error in the abstract on appeal. Under the authority of Salene v. Isherwood, 74 Or. 35, 39 (144 Pac. 1175), and Dundas v.

We find that the complaint states facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. The judgment is affirmed. Affirmed.
