Article 5. Withholding Salary On Contest Of Title

1130.  When the title of the incumbent of any office in this State
is contested by proceedings instituted in any court for that purpose,
no warrant shall thereafter be drawn or paid for any part of his
salary until such proceedings have been finally determined.



1131.  As soon as the proceedings are instituted, the clerk of the
court in which they are pending shall certify the facts to the
officers whose duty it would otherwise be to draw the warrant or pay
the salary.


1132.  This article does not apply to any party to a contest or
proceeding who holds the certificate of election or commission of
office and discharges the duties of the office. No certification by
the clerk need be made. Such party shall receive the salary of the
office the same as if no contest or proceeding was pending.
