Waynesville Chief Post Remains Vacant Over Salary
James Crain refuses to return as Waynesville police chief after a $50 cut in salary to 350 a month. He cites long hours and says the prior 110 weekly pay made the post unaffordable. Council discharged him for funds shortages, while sheriff Satterthwaite reappointed him as deputy. The village had lent a police cruiser to Crain’s duties and a police protection levy may raise pay in June. Jack Oswald resigns as village solicitor after involvement in drafting the levy.

The 1960 census official population is 42 115, announced by a proclamation from the Ohio secretary of state read to city commissioners. City estimates had ranged 42 500 to 45 000, and Manager Thompson said lagging employment kept the count under 45 000. The commission, meeting early for Youth in Government Day, planned no action on income tax rise until after December 31, with the proposed 0.25 to 0.5 percent increase to fund garbage collection and public works, potentially adding about 400 000 to city funds annually.
