Topeka Police Pay Dispute Fueled Into Supreme Court
The Topeka police board and city council clash over staffing and pay scales. The council seeks cuts under the law, the board resists, prompting a mandamus action to force February payroll payment of 1 508 9 and a total department bill of 1 806 08. The case names the City of Topeka, Kansas, Mayor Fellows, ten councilmen and others. A Times note compares to colonial rights and quotes no law justness in larger police forces.
