County Council in Session Debates Doctor Pay and Libary Funds
County council met in special session to consider several appropriations. Dr Holdeman’s request for a $100 raise was denied amid concerns of precedents and physician shortages. The council budgeted $394.80 for Mishawaka Orphans Home care and rejected a $326.82 Elkhart superior court library addition due to authorized limits. Protested checks and floating debt surfaced as county funds faced strain with $60,000 to be appropriated and $12,000 held due to a bank warrant. Several members present, including Hawks, Sykes, and Hire.
