City panel approves pay rises for auditors and clerks
The Ordinance Committee recommended raises in the City Auditor's and City Engineer's offices, plus one extra clerk for Tax Collector Edward A. Drew. Deputies and an assistant would gain $800 yearly, a clerk $200, and the extra clerk would earn $1,200. McElroy's office would see higher ceiling for the assistant engineer up to $4,000. Efforts depend on Board of Apportionment funding for the next fiscal year.
