Stonefort mayor blocks pay raise for trustees
Mayor George Jackson cast the deciding vote to veto a plan to raise village board salaries from 5 to 10 dollars monthly. Trustees Leonard Martin David Whiting and Larry McFarland supported the raise while Wayne Kennedy Floyd Craig and Tom Craig opposed. The last increase was years ago and income supports the 93 000 loan for a new water system linking Stonefort to Rend Lake. The water rates more than doubled from 5.25 to 12.50 for 2 000 gallons, with the March bill reflecting the hike. The loan came from the U S Farmers Home Administration which also granted 90 000 to cover an older loan.
