Syllabus

<p>Municipal Corporations — Officers — Salary — Qualification — Bond — Approval. Failure of the council to approve the bond of one appointed and acting as town marshal does not prevent his becoming an officer de jure and entitled to the salary, no other person being’ appointed or serving during the -term; especially since Rem. & Bal. Code, § 7722, merely requires the marshal to execute a bond to the town before entering upon his duties and not that bond shall be approved by the council before entering upon his duties; the bond having been delivered to the clerk and never rejected.</p> <p>Officers — Salary—De Jure Officer — Quantity of Services. The right of a de jure officer to his salary is not affected by the quantity of the services rendered, in the absence of an abandonment of the office.</p>
