Salaries of Judges Stay the Same
Special to Times Recorder Atlanta July 9 The court of appeals judges will not receive a pay raise this year.

The session also saw a large petition for compulsory education and talks on near beer funds for teacher pay, plus a proposed salary bill for assembly members and a note from Ex-Gov Hoke Smith claiming a healthier treasury than expected.
