Urges Higher Salary for Police Judge in Muscatine
Gary D. Woodward, resigning as Muscatine city police judge to become county attorney in 1961, urged the city council to appoint a qualified attorney at law and raise the police judge salary by at least 2000 a year. He noted the old 1839.6 annual figure, stagnant for two years, with net earnings under 1000 after stenographic costs, and cited turning over 19000 in fines and costs his first year, more than 14000 by year end, arguing a municipal court system best serves the city.
