Wait of Mandate Issued for Mayor
An alternative writ of mandate from the district court commands the mayor to appear on August 17 and show cause why Leonard G. Courtney should not be restored as patrol driver. Courtney says he was permanently appointed April 30, 1919, under a city charter adopted June 25, 1996, and that Mayor Cocking removed him on July 17. His successor allegedly lacks qualification for the post. Separately, James McGlynn amends a suit to collect 276 from Peter J. Kelly, assessor, for auto hire, noting prior actions and that this is the third complaint in the case.
