Lightfoot v. Village of Evergreen Park
Appellate Court of Illinois
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Cook county; the Hon. Charles M. Walker, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1916.
1Opinion of the Court
Mr. Presiding Justice Goodwin
delivered the opinion of the court.
The appellant seeks to reverse a judgment against it for $225, recovered by appellee for salary as village attorney. The record discloses that appellee was regularly appointed village attorney for the period of one year, and that thereafter the board of trustees passed-a resolution dismissing him for an alleged failure to attend to certain legal matters. When this was brought to the notice of the president of the board, he stated that he had not discharged appellee, and instructed him to continue with his duties.
