:THE JUDGES SALARY.
Probabilities Regarding the Reascs for
an Increase of Pay

an tt
During the session of the Board Of
Supervisors, Clerk Harvey, at the sug-
eestlon of Judge Grove, drew the at
tention of the members 10 the subject
of All increase of salary from the county
funds. The State now pays s. 800, and
il Was that an additional 81 500,
10 be paid 10y the county, would loo
about right, thus making the entire
amount a. 600 per annum. The sug.
gestion did not meet with the approval
expected, bat was referred 10 the F-
nance Committee Ia report at the next
October meeting of the board.
The board h. composed OF thirty-hye
members, twenty-four OF whom are
from the country and eleven from the
city; and, as one of the board said 10
the TILEGKAN-HERALD. that ls the way
the vote Will stand. The cOuntrymen
say that 81 500 is enough, and especial
~ in view of the fact that a new judge
has just been appointed, thus lessening
the labors of Judge Grove. The rural
people pay So per cent Of the taxes,
while the city pays but ii per cent,
and are unalterably opposed % any ox-
pendlture that Will increase their bur-
dens.
There are four judges in Wayne
county, and besides the g. 500 pad by
the State, the county allows them 81 900
IN addition, making their salarles 81 800.
