Board, Also Withheld

Pay checks of John L. Duvall for
1925 as mayor for the last two weeks
of his tenure and of his wife, Mrs.
Maude Duvall, for $170 as city con-
troller for the same period, were
held up today by County Treasurer
Edward A. Ramsay on the score they
we're not legally in office.
The check of Charles L. Riddle,
board of works member, named by
Duvall after Duvalls conviction of
violation of the corrupt practices act
for $10416, also was held up on the
ground he was not legally appointed.
City Controller Frank Cones and
Ramsay paid other city officials and
employees this afternoon. Ramsay
advanced the civil city $380,000 and
the school city $680,OO0 out of fall
taxes.
cit is idle for me to tell you that
I have opposed you politically" Rid
die said pleasantly, when he called
on Negley. "If you are holding up
my pay check to get me off the
board of works, you need not go to
the trouble. I will gladly step out,
or stay the next eight days if I can
help you"
Negley replied that he would like
to have Riddle remain. Corporation
Counsel Schuyler Haas advised that
Riddle was entitled to his salary, but
Ramsay continued to withhold it.
Shortly after Ramsay announced
he would release the city and
school pay roll this afternoon, City
Controller Cones filed suit against
Ramsay in Superior Court five, in
which he seeks an order directing
the treasurer to honor all warrants
for payment of city expenditures.
This was merely a protective
measure.
