City Council weighs raises for ditch workers amid pay gap
Clyde A. Murr e Sun staff writer reports the city council in a special session in Campbell's office debating pay boosts for Public Works staff earning as low as $1 an hour while considering higher raises for Building Inspector J. T. Peacock and Tax Assessor-Collector C. C. Redd. Councilmen Clayton Mears and Bergeron push to help the so called man in the ditch, noting the rising cost of bread and life. discussions also touch on Gerald Landry's possible raise to $345 monthly. Redd's new salary would outpace Finance Director A. V. Barber, who objects to being bypassed, as Redd holds dual roles and would receive two checks. The council delays final votes on Redd and Peacock raises and reviews a blanket citywide increase and other salary adjustments.
