Frederick County election cost drops with voting machines
The general election cost in Frederick city and county was reported at 10 907.20 dollars, a saving of about 2 000 from 1954. Officials cite abolition of overtime pay for judges and two clerks per precinct, plus use of voting machines, as key reductions. Judges now paid per diem with 15 dollars plus 5 dollars for book return, and 1954 total was 12 747.56. Primary costs skew comparisons but future elections should be cheaper once machines are standard.
