County Wage Raise Backed by Local Uncontested Bill

Williams would grant Bexar County employees a 15 percent salary increase based on the March 1949 payroll, with raises for district judges, district attorney, county officials, and precinct officers in offices inside the courthouse serving precincts of at least 200,000 people. Advertisements are to run for 30 days before adoption under the local calendar. The bill targets January 1, 1950, for the new pay scales.
