Law Supersedes Contract in County Road Commissioner Salary
Wisconsin Attorney General rules a new law setting county highway commissioner salaries at no less than 1200 dollars in counties with more than sixty thousand dollars of road work supersedes a lower contracted wage. The Winnebago board had set 1200 dollars for the second year. AG Owen states the legislature had power to amend and the contract with James Binning does not block application of the statute. In a separate opinion, the AG advised against registering sixteen Raymond Porell Shade trademarks, noting potential advantage to the company and harm to others.
