Tubman fights to raise county salary to 1920
Annapolis Maryland February 20 Vincent A Tubman Carroll County Trial Magistrate asked the Court of Appeals to order his County Commissioners to pay 1920 instead of 1200. Law fixes 1200 as a minimum but allows increases. He had earned 1920 but in April 1947 the salary was set back to 1200. Commissioners refused full pay and he sued. Lower court ruled against him. Attorneys argued officials lack power to reduce the higher amount.
