Pettit Joins Protest Against Salary Increases
Clerks of district courts in Iowa including Fred St Pettit of Black Hawk county traveled to Des Moines to urge lawmakers to postpone county officer salary hikes while noting a long term plan to extend current pay scales for two more years. They cited rising living costs and proposed bills would raise county recorder and other salaries by 100 to 600 dollars annually. The group also pressed for improved vital statistics reporting and care provisions for male inebriates and dipsomaniacs, seeking faster death certificate processing and authority to report deaths to the clerk of courts.
