Section 99
SEC. 99. In all provinces where a civil provincial government has not been established, the duties of the provincial governor, provincial secretary, provincial treasurer, provincial supervisor, and provincial fiscal shall be performed by military officers designated by the Military Governor for these purposes; and the Military Governor shall further have power, through such subordinates as he may designate for the purpose, to inspect and investigate at any time all the official books and records of the municipalities organized in such provinces under this Act. He may summarily suspend any municipal officer for inefficiency, misconduct, or disloyalty to the United States; and if, upon investigation, it shall prove that the officer is inefficient or is guilty of misconduct or disloyalty, the Military Governor shall have power to remove him. Should he deem such a course necessary in the interest of public safety, he may appoint the successor of such an officer so removed; otherwise, the vacancy will be filled as hereinbefore provided in the case of permanent vacancies.
