New Commission Sets Salary Complaint Procedure
A new county salary grievance process was created by a law approved in the last Legislature. The commission includes the county judge, clerk, attorney, district clerk, treasurer, sheriff, and tax collector plus three county citizens chosen from last year’s grand jury. The judge chairs without a vote, hearings lead to recommendations to the commissioners court, and unanimous approval makes the recommendation binding.

Court House Gets New Air Conditioning Unit
An air conditioning unit to replace the failed system in the Jones County courthouse has been ordered. The installation date is unclear, but the unit is due to arrive in Anson this week. The commissioners court decided to switch to electric refrigeration, cost estimated at 6500 dollars, to be paid from the permanent improvements fund. Judge Leon Thurman said funds are available for the emergency. Mrs. Jack Southerland will lead the current mission program at First Baptist Church Tuesday morning from 10 to 11.
