Strong Opposition at Sagadahoc Salary Hearing
At Augusta on Tuesday strong opposition arose to recommendations cutting salaries for the Sagadahoc Clerk of Courts and Sheriff. Walter S. Glidden of Bath argued against reducing Clerk of Courts from 1600 to 1200, citing workload and living costs. Other Bath leaders and officials from Bowdoinham and Augusta spoke against the cut, while Senator Wallace H. Price urged a 100 increase. Glidden also opposed lowering the sheriff’s salary from 1200 to 1100.

Storer together early, later commanding ships like the Elizabeth Palmer and Governor Brooks, with daring escapes and a surgeon’s self treatment after a hand injury that defined their bond. The article ties their long careers to ships, disasters, and a shared maritime fortune.
