John L. Clark Defends City Claim For Extra Services
John L. Clark, former Daviess County treasurer, argues the city owed him additional pay for duties beyond regular duties. He says in spring 1926 he took on extra tasks including street and alley tax collection and street improvement assessments, costing him labor and expenses. He sought $375 ($225 for improvement collections and $150 for extra tax collections), stating his fee was a fair compensation and that no one should work for nothing.
