County Pay Bill
Revised In Senate
Representative James D.
Speed's County Pay BUI ran
Into a buzz-saw In Senate Ju
diciary I Tuesday morning and
what was left bears little, If
any, resemblance to Speed's
original bill.
The buzz-saw was In the form
of one Senator W; M. Jolly,
who, "because of the Interest
expressed In the bill by many
outstanding citizens and one
of the CountyCommlssloners,"
took the liberty of submitting
a "committee substitute" bill.
What happens when the new bill
goes back over to the House
remains to be seen.
The Jolly substitute bill raises
the Assistant Clerk of Court
to $3,600, the second assist
ant or deputy clerk to $3,400,
the Solicitor of Recorder's
Court to $3,549 (the same as
the Judge) the Assistant Re
gister of Deeds to $3,400 and
the Deputy Register of Deeds
to $3,100. The Speed version
specifically omitted all Re
gister of Derds Officer per
sonnel.
In a letter to Speed explain
ing his actions, Jolly said:
"It Is my belief that the as
sistants to the Clerk and tb the
Register of Deeds are under
paid when considered In the
light of the responsibilities that
they owe the public. In fact,
all of these County employees
receive less than do legal sec
retaries, who do not have as
much responsibility,"
"It Is also 01? belief that the
Solicitor Is entitled to receive
the same compensation as the
