County Sets 325 Minimum Salary for County Workers
The Commissioners Court voted to set a 325 monthly minimum for county employees, mainly affecting custodial staff. Precinct 2 workers earn 3355 per month or more, so no Precinct 2 road and bridge staff will be impacted. The measure would raise about 150 salaries and cost roughly 69000 in 1960, with support from Ramsey and Chapin. Budget study sessions continue as department requests total about 7 million, about 2 million over anticipated funds.
