County Budget
0tI13<MiIIion5 :,
Waits Final OK.

A S23. 7S6. 231 county budget
was concluded today by the
finance committee of the county
board of supervisors, subject TO
formal approval ar a meeting OF
the committee next Monday.
The only question now in dis
pute is the amount 10 be paid by
the county TO aid in the care OF
tuberculosis patients at Herman
Kiefer Hospital and Maybury
Sanitarium, which are operated
by the City of Detroit. The COM
mittee instructed that all savings
made by other cuts, estimated at
about $1,000 should be added
TO the county contribution TO
white plague control.
This estimated 100000 is far
short of the additional $4,000
asked by the city health depart
ment. Auditors representing both
the city and the county were
unable to agree on proper con-
tribution.
1t was indicated that the one
subject Is not completely closed
that the question will be one of
disSension during the next year.
In the closing day Of discussion,
the finance committee upped by
another $4,000 the pay raises
granted TO 500 Of the 1000 county
employees. In the original budget
estimates. a raise totaling 1871, 600
was recommended for the 1000
ieeaffty employees. ranging from )
per cent to Is per cent for each
individual.
81 $50 MINIMUM PAY
These 600, the lowest paid en-
lployes. were given blanket raises
lof $3.50 each, bringing the mini
mum county wage TO 81 450. These
raises were higher than the maxi
mum of IS per cent under the
raise formula and bring the totaI
increase to approx m t
l$761 ,000
Beneficiaries Of this extra raise
were mainly kitchen and laundry
helpers and attendants at Eloist
Hospital and other county institu
tions. They were granted or
