Chambers County Commissioners Court approved a 20 percent salary increase for all elected officials as part of the 1968 budget, matching a prior raise for county employees. Base salaries rose for roles including county judge and sheriff, with travel and title-related allowances noted. The court also postponed action on appointing a justice of the peace and a constable in the new Precinct 5 amid redistricting questions.
