Gaston Johnson Defends Bar Salaries Push in High Point
Gaston A. Johnson, chair of the High Point bar association legislative committee, told city councilors that proposed raises for municipal court officials would align salaries with Greensboro levels. He noted pending state bills to raise superior court pay and argued the city would profit from the court’s activity, with six months showing a net city profit of 8441.00 despite higher salaries. The plan seeks to lift judge pay to 8000 and 4200 to 5000, solicitor and clerk scales, while the assistant clerk would rise from 2400 to 3600–4600.
