Hamilton Butler County commissioners poised to approve a 9.19 million general fund for 1978 featuring about a seven percent salary increase for county workers.

Children study aid requested in Hamilton County
The Children's Service Committee seeks a two year countywide study of children's needs and programs.

The effort is endorsed by the United Way groups in Hamilton and Middletown and aligns with pending state legislation to create a youth coordinating council for juvenile justice funds.
