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.
