Section 1
SECTION 1. Whenever any municipal official shall be suspended by the governor of the province in accordance with the provisions of the Provincial Government Act, it shall be the duty of the provincial governor at once to file written charges with the provincial board setting forth the nature of the complaints made against the suspended official, and thereupon the board shall immediately furnish a copy of said charges to the accused official, with a notification of the time and place of hearing upon said charges, and at the time and place appointed, the board shall proceed to hear and investigate the truth or falsity of said charges, giving the suspended official full opportunity to be heard. The hearing shall occur as soon as may be practicable after the charges are filed. Upon the completion of the hearing the board shall immediately forward in writing its findings as to the truth or falsity of the charges, together with the charges and evidence taken by the board, and its recommendations as whether the official ought or ought not to be dismissed, to the Civil Governor, and the Civil Governor shall thereupon, upon receipt of said findings, charges, and evidence, order the suspended official to he reinstated or dismissed as the facts shall warrant. In case the Civil Governor shall order the official to be dismissed, the vacancy shall be filled in the manner required by the Municipal Code and its amendments.
