Protests Against Increases In protesting against the inc salaries, the controller points out the budget for 1929 did not provide salary increases but, on the contrary, suggested that the millage for county purposes be decreased and the strictest economy be adhered to because of the prevailing industrial depression the county. The note reads: I am in receipt of certified of resolutions of the board of missioners dated Jan. 28, 1929, creasing the salaries of the employees. I wish to your attention the fact that in my budget for 19 sub- mitted to you Jan 21, 1929, that, in ad- dition to my recommendation that the millage for county purposes should be decreased, I further recommended that str economy should be practiced un- der the administration of the county’s business. The increases above referred to wre not provided for in said budget and, in view of the fact of the indus- trial depression at present existing in tl county, I feel it unfair to the Xpayers to increase salaries at this time. 1 also note your resolution provides that these salary increases are to date from Jan. 1, 1929, and, while I am pay- ing for the said increases pursuant to the aforesaid resolution, I wish to pro- test against suoh increases in view of the fact that this is, in my udgment, a great mistake to place any additional burden on the taxpayers in times like this. ase of that for 101 in copies com- in- county’s all all C to 28, is JAMES A.
