Salary Act Defeated Amid County Campaign Heat
The salary act failed to pass, blamed on voters not supporting a tax reduction and a strong counter campaign by county officers. Journal notes higher salary level, $2700, provoked anger and vote against the act, while some counties slashed salaries to gain small tax relief. Hempstead County faces low revenues and a looming Quorum Court session, with calls to preserve essential services and seek increased revenue rather than deep cuts.
