Iowa patrol pay raise eyed by state official
Pearl W. McMurry of the State Department of Public Safety said he will likely ask the Iowa executive council to authorize higher salaries for highway patrolmen. He noted financial limits and potential funding options after the July August training school. The present pay range is 220 to 250 dollars monthly with 10 years service, and the force has seen resignations and military service reducing strength. A House bill proposing 25 dollars a month raise for each patrolman failed to pass.
