City Attorney Awaited On Judge Ezell Ruling on Special Police Pay
Judge Ezell found 1916 ordinance authorizing mayoral appointment of special policemen void and upheld a temporary injunction. The suit, brought by Commissioner Uhr, halts pay rolls and vouchers for specials after September 1, 1916, pending final trial. City officials—Mayor Brown and Lambert—await Gillette’s return to decide next steps. The decision allows potential recovery actions for any illegally paid funds with substantial taxpayer rights preserved.
