Local Council Debates Bonus for Labor Official
Discussion at a council meeting centers on increasing pay for a labor official. Proposals of £125 and later £150 yearly bonuses are debated as too uncertain or insufficient, with arguments that qualified inspectors demand at least £200. A motion to pay £150 is noted. A separate feature describes O. B. Larson’s South African store near Sundays River selling Chamberlain remedies and drawing farmers within 30 miles.
