Township Trustees And Clerks
To Get Pay Increase September :

Township trustees and clerks in
Richard, Monroe, Orange, Riley and
Jackson townships as we'll as town.
ship trustees and clerks throughout
the state, will be entitled to benefit
by the increase in compensation pro-
vided by new Ohio law passed
May 26 and which will become effect
i've September 2.
This is the syllabus of an opinion
just rendered by Attorney General
Thomas J. Herbert, who has held
that the words compensation" and
SALARY" are not synonymous as used
in the Ohio constitution.
The opinion of the attorney gen.
eral, therefore, is that township
trustees and clerks now in office will
receive the benefit of increases in
compensation under the new law be-

ginning Sept. 2, notwithstanding the
constitution provides ''no change
therein shall affect the salary of
any officer during his existing term" !"
Just how much the salary increase
will amount to per individual or in
total cannot be stated since the law
provides only maximum compensa-
ton. The most the increase could
amount to can be placed roughly at
500 per individual per year, or
$4,000 in total.
The new law increases the pay
of trustees from $3.50 to $3.50 per
day and provides "that in townships
having a budget of less than $4,000,
the trustees shall be entitled to
compensation for not more than 100
days" at that rate.
