Section 18
SEC. 18. Power of control and supervision by the Mayor. —The mayor shall exercise control and supervision over barrio officials and shall see to it that they perform and discharge their duties faithfully and in accordance with law. He shall receive and investigate complaints made under oath against barrio officers for neglect of duty, oppression, corruption and other forms of misconduct in office, and conviction by final judgment of any crime involving moral turpitude. For minor delinquency, he may reprimand the offender; and if a more severe punishment seems to be desirable, he shall submit written charges to the municipal board, furnishing a copy of such charges to the respondent either personally or by registered mail. Upon recommendation of the barrio council, the Mayor may suspend the officer pending action by the municipal board, if in his opinion the charge be one affecting the official integrity of the officer in question, but in no case shall the suspension last more than thirty days. "Where suspension is thus effected, the written charges against the officer shall be filed within five days with the municipal board, which shall adopt the procedure specified in Sections twenty-one hundred eighty-nine to twenty-one hundred ninety of the Revised Administrative Code. "The decision of the municipal board shall be final and shall not be appealable."
