Arizona county officials seek pay hikes and new board
Arizona supervisors gathered in Phoenix to urge the legislature to expand the territorial board of equalization to five members and raise salaries for district attorneys in first class counties to 3000 dollars per year. They request deputies for county assessors, duplicate assessment roll contracts, and salaries for lower-class counties to be set by boards. They also push grazing on forest reserves, repeal of funding act extensions for Pima county railroad bonds, and a new wagon road from Globe to Mesa to aid mining. Governor Murphy argues mines worth 100 million dollars are taxed on only 2 million in property and calls for fair taxation within the territory.
