Extra Police Pay
Starts Dispute
In Montgomery

Montgomery County's two top
officials are at odds over the le-
gality Of extra pay being given
police who are working a AZ
hour week although they off,
cially are on a 44-hour week.
Montgomery County Attorney
Charles M. Irelan, in an opinion
dated January 6 but made pub
lie only yesterday, ruled the pay
illegal.
County Manager NJ. l.. Reese
tretorted that personnel regula-
tons were complied with when
he granted the extra pay with
the approval of the County
Council.
Mr.. Reese said he and the
County Council were in agree
ment last June that the police
would go on a 44-hour week
about October /. 1855.
Needed More Help
He said he put the plan into
effect in December. Because OF
Inability Of the county to recruit
enough new policemen, he said
he decided to pay those on the
force extra for working the addi-
tional four hours.
Mr.. Irelan, however, commended
this action was. in. effect. q
roundabout manner" of giving
the police a pay raise.
Such a method Of granting a
pay raise, he indicated. was q
circumvention of county Law
which requires that all pay raise:
be initiated and recommended
by the County Personnel Board
Mr.. Reese stuck TO his gum
that the extra pay was not a pay
increase and that it would stoT
when sufficient men can be hiret
to permit full operation Of thu
44-h0ur week.
! To Work Out Solution
] The council appeared to accep
Mr.. Irelan's ruling as final ant
directed the two officials to ge
together to work out a tinancia
solution that would not requir,
repayment of the money to tn,
county by the police.
! One method suggested by MI
Irelan was new salary schedul,
to be made retroactive for police
men.
J Such a step at this time woult
be in conflict with the council
previously announced policy o
handling all salary schedules a
budget time and to keep them il
line with each other.

Miss Harris is startling be-
cause it is incredible that such

SO much of power. Across a

It is simply the effect Of ge-

After her two seasons as
