Last year Lawrence drew 390 monthly, $40 more than Bardwell, and the court had moved Lawrence to the same level as other chiefs after excluding the sheriff's department from the economy order. Effective January 1, under new state law, all chief deputies will earn 266 monthly. The restoration order for last year's salary was presented by Commissioner Robe Uhr and approved by Commissioner Thomas H Abbott.
