County Bill Would Raise Coroner Pay
Morgan County lawmakers plan to introduce a bill to raise coroner John McBride's pay from 60 dollars a month to 200, with extra expense money and a non paying deputy post suggested. The measure aims to reflect duties and gas costs while McBride notes varying hours and legal authority for acting coroner in absence. Other bills include powers for Morgan County to form industrial parks and to sell bonds for sewer projects, plus allowing tuition charges for non residents in two county school systems.
