County Trustees Gain Salary Increase In 1957 Legislation
Eleven Jackson county township trustees received a $200 annual pay raise due to a state bill signed by Gov. Handley. One trustee, Clarence Brethauer, did not qualify due to a stipulation excluding non school board trustees. The law’s effect began March 15, with this year’s raise totaling $160. An error in the 1957 legislature caused 77 class six townships to miss increases totaling about $14,000, but Jackson county’s sixth class term had no eligible trustees, leaving them unaffected.
