Court House Employees to Wear Blue Uniforms
Court House employees under Superintendent J C Mercer will wear blue cloth uniforms with white buttons and county seal on a Monday. Each badge will be numbered and labeled with the position such as elevator or engineer to aid public convenience and protect those who perform duty. Engineers object to the uniforms citing cost and limited public contact warranting non uniform attire. They compare the order to military uniforms but note a mitigating factor that cared for employees already in service would avoid personal expense.
