No General Hike In City Wages Planned
City Manager J B LeFevre agrees to defer all 1926 budget wage requests until a management survey, approved earlier, begins. Councilman Tommy Cook proposed the delay as budget studies start. LeFevre said no general wage increases were requested, only adjustments, with no increases for supervisory staff. Mayor Lee Liggett urged awaiting the survey to guide raises for deserving workers. The first study session cut $300 for a court judge car allowance and reduced election funding, deferring a charter amendment election. The council also cut veterans services and an IBM transcriber, while leaving room for secretary hires undecided. Two IBM transcribers already exist. The budget for the city law department remains unchanged at $18,798, though some councilors seek reevaluation. Page 2 mentions WAGES.
