County COP Chairman
Sees Moves Allowing
Permanent Pay Boosts

The Republican State Central
Committee for Montgomery County
today charged that nothing less
than taxpayers lawsuit will cor
rect the outrage against the citi-
2ens' trust provided in the legisla
tive program sponsored by the coun-
ty Democratic delegation in the
General Assembly.
Arthur J. Hillman. chairman OF
the committed. SAID IN a statement
the "scorn with which the delegation
met a request by county teachers for
"A reasonable salary increase to NEE;
rising living costs is in strange
contrast" with the legislative pro-
gram of the delegation. This pro-
gram, he added, would provide
blanket powers and blank checks
to the boss controlled political ma
chine" and would result in perma
nent pay increases for members of
the county machine"
MI Hillman charged that one bill
introduced by the Democratic dele
cation even provides transportation
for the mythical Job Of county police
commissioner, now held by the
chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners"
He said the contention that the
police commissioner is drawing a
salary for doing nothing is borne
out because the position now is
being held by a politician supposedly
holding full-time Job for which he
is drawing full-time salary"
Admittedly the war emergency i.
reason enough for temporary pay
increases. Mr Hillman said but
the objectionable fact Is that it i.
being used as an excuse to establish
permanent increases in the count,

Employees paid on a per diem basis

Mcmillan bill provides: Any such
employe shall be paid only such ad-
ditional compensation as will not
cause his aggregate compensation TO
exceed the rate of $4,000 per an
mum"
The retroactive feature provides
that increased compensation shall
be paid from December l. 1912, and
shall terminate on June 80, 1914 "or
