- District attorney to represent applicant - Fees and costs.

In case a municipality, or official thereof, refuses to comply

with the provisions of Sections 49-138 through 49-142 of this

title, then any person entitled to the benefits hereof may file a

petition in the Oklahoma County district court, without cost

deposit, to specifically require such municipality, or official

thereof, to comply with said provisions, and, as incident thereto,

to compensate said person for any loss of wages or benefits suffered

by such refusal. The court shall order a speedy hearing in any such

case and shall advance it on the calendar. Upon application to the

Oklahoma District Attorney by any person claiming to be entitled to

the benefits of the provisions hereof, such District Attorney, if

reasonably satisfied that the person so applying is entitled to such

benefits, shall appear and act as attorney for such person in the

amicable adjustment of the claim or in the filing of the petition

and the prosecution thereof. The action in the district court shall

be brought within ninety (90) days from the date of the refusal of

the municipality, or its representative, to comply with the

provisions of this act. No fees or court costs shall be taxed

against the person so applying.
