    "head_matter": "Frank Kochanski, Appellee, v. County of Cook, Appellant.\nGen. No. 23,157. (Not to be reported in full.)\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Civil service, \u00a7 7 \u2014when evidence shows legal appointment of assistant engineer. Evidence pertaining to plaintiff\u2019s unquestioned employment as assistant engineer for over 13 years, held to sufficiently show he was legally appointed to that position.\n2. Civil service, \u00a7 31*\u2014when unnecessary for assistant engineer to show vacancy or right thereto. Where plaintiff, after legal appointment as assistant engineer in the civil service of defendant Cook County, served in the Dunning Institution until after it was taken over by the State, receiving his pay thereafter from the State until his appointment by the County Board of Cook County to a temporary position as assistant operating engineer at Oak Forest Institution, from which he was subsequently discharged, held that it was not necessary for plaintiff to show that there was any vacancy or that he was entitled to one, if it existed, after the time he left the Dunning Institution, in an action to recover damages because of his discharge, under a rule of the Civil Service Commission that employees in the classified civil service of the county when the State took over the Dunning Institution should be considered as county employees and so treated upon reinstatement lists. \u2018\nAppeal from the Circuit Court of Cook county; the Hon. David F. Hatchett, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1917.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed December 28, 1917.\nRehearing denied January 10, 1918.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Frank Kochanski, plaintiff, against the County of Cook, defendant, to recover salary alleged to have accrued after plaintiff\u2019s illegal removal from a civil service position as assistant engineer. From a judgment for plaintiff for $115, defendant appeals.\nMaclay Hoyne, for appellant; George C. Bliss, of counsel.\nA. D. Gash and A. G. Digits, for appellee.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest,- Yols. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
