Municipal Court Act Might Cut Middletown Judge Pay
Middletown and Hamilton judges could face a $2000 annual salary cut under the new Municipal Court Act after it passes Columbus. Changes would not take effect until 1954 when Judge Alton H. Combs’ term ends, with Combs noting he would not seek reelection if the decrease occurs. Judge Fred B. Cramer of Hamilton said the bill may trigger opposition, while Senator George McCandless indicated amendments failed to exempt Middletown and Hamilton. Combs urged caution, while praising many features of the act and hoping later negotiation will resolve salary issues.
