Huntington city council approved a $235,000 pay increase package last night amid charges of pressure politics. Police officers and firefighters receive monthly boosts of 50 dollars, police lieutenants and fire captains 65 dollars, and the chief of detectives 90 dollars. A new council member was elected during the session.
Officials will gain wages by half the gap to the national average for similar posts in cities of the same size. Clerical staff receive no raise and hourly workers get 0 cents. The council elected Frederick E. Brown to replace the late James E. Stark in a 7-4 vote with one abstention, while Harald F. Henderson cited a desire to avoid Democratic infighting and did not vote.
A June rally gathers activists from defense unions and antiwar groups to protest war budgets and a political stance linked to a controversial organization. The event features speakers and a post-rally round table, with mentions of FBI arrests failing to curb civil liberties concerns.
