Michigan Supreme Court June 3, 1963, Calendar No. 23, Docket No. 49,383 (Bickell v. Flint Civil Service Commission)

Carr, C. J.

On November 21,1960, plaintiffs were employees of the department of public works of the city of Flint, in its street construction division No. 15. There was then no money available-to the city to carry on a street construction program. Accordingly, for economy reasons, plaintiffs were laid off and separated from the active service and payroll of the city.
