Judges Salary
Boost Passed

Times stan Correspondent

LANSING, May "a. Circuit
and Recorders Court judges will
receive raises of $1,000 year I'M
der bill returned TO the Senate
Saturday by the House.
The upper chamber originally
voted for increases or 81 500 a
year, but the lower rate was
agreed upon yesterday when oppo-
Sition arose ir the House.
The raise would mean total
salaries of SIS 500 a year for De-
troit Circuit judges and $13,500
for Recorders judges. However,
the right of a judge to receive a
salary increase during his term is
in dispute.
At present, the state contributes
$4,000 10 the pay of the Judges.
Outstate members contended
this is insufficient in those coun-
ties which do not pay an additional
sum TO the juristS.
wayne Id ges now get
S14,5OO,' said Rep. Frank j.
Calvert (R) of Highland Park.
That Is enough. If Outstate
judges need more, let the coun-
ties pay it,
The bill passed, SO to II. Those
voting against it included Repre-
sentatives Calvert. Fred G. Cart
ner of Wyandotte, John j. anc
James Murphy. Joseph J. kowaI'
ski. Adam w. Sumeracki anC
Horace A. White Of Detroit.
