City Council weighs Shirley Turner policewoman or meter maid status
A Baytown dispute asks whether Mrs R H Shirley Turner is a bona fide policewoman or a meter maid. She argues Civil Service results give policewoman status and pay equality, while city officials note no established pay scale for the classification and that her pay comes from a special account. The Wichita Falls case cited shows separate classification allowed if Civil Service minimums are met.
