Yarborough said tha^he "re gretted" that- the minutes of the meeting and ? eubeequenl news story Indicated there was a controversy about the salary. Actually, he said, there was no controversy as far as he was concerned as he was not even present at the meeting. "In substance," he said, "and very briefly the facts are these: Some members .of the Board stated that they wanted the sa lary of the County Attorney reduced, and that another law yer offered to take the' posi tion for $2,000.00/' "My answer was that I could not bid for the. place, andtthat knowing how time consumii* - the work is and the difficult problems often Involved, I did not believe that I could continue at the reduced salary." "Last Sunday I notified Chair man Faulkner of my resit- ? nation, to be effective up&n ac ceptance by the Board and not later than the day of the sa lary change, but that if needed I would work for a few, days without pay until they couljl put the new man In office.
