Mayor Vincent A. Corsall states he does not regard Police Chief John J. Reed suspended and notes no written notice was given by the commissioner. He calls the office location dispute a personal difference and mentions his Adams House raid letter to the Palladium Times in tonight's edition.
The suspension was ordered about 9 30 last night when Mr Reed entered the office where the commissioner awaited him. The chief then ordered Reed to clear his desk and a meeting followed with officers and city officials. Captain Scharf asked to be relieved of preparing charges. The mayor and city clerk then met with the commissioner.

At the county board meeting the Ways and Means panel heard requests to extend the cost of living bonus for laboratory staff and to fund overtime for the bacteriologist. No action followed onManager recommendations, and a heated dispute over two taxi claims sparked a vote against payment.
The board, minus Supervisor Poland, voted to pay $3,571.57 in remaining claims after striking $92.35 in taxi bills. The Fulton Taxi Co and Horan's Taxi were rejected, while other claims were approved. Critics say mileage and expenses by county employees need audit, and lab board recommendations were not sent to the Ways and Means Budget Committee for 1959.
