PATROLMEN'S SALARY
BILLS WERE PASSED

Ever since the Legislature adjourn
ed a number of inquiries have been
made as to the fate of two bills of
local interest, and concerning which
there seemed to exist considerable
doubt These were the bills pr0vid-
ing for the pay of the patrolmen for
Eastport and Germantown.
The bills also introduced in the
House by the entire county deiega-
tion. jointly, fixed the salary at $50
per month-an increase of so over
the present rate. When the bills
reached the Senate an amendment
was offered by Senator Brady and
adopted making the maximum salary
SIS a month. These amendments were
concurred in by the House of Dele
gates and the two bills were finally
passed in that shape and are now
ready for presentation to the Cover
nor.
