Sentiment Favors County Controller
Court house officials weigh the arrival of a county controller for Lawrence county after a bill creating controllers for sixth class counties passes. A location in the building is favored though space is tight. County Auditor William J. Broe Jr backs the plan, noting monthly accounting improves oversight versus year‑old auditor records. The bill sets a 2500 dollar salary, about six to seven hundred dollars above current total auditor pay.
