A hill allowing the board of
County Commissioners to grant
Franklin County officials an
additional 5 per cent pay in
crease over their 1GG1 pay was
passed ,by the General Assembly
before^adjourning late Wednes
day afternoon.
Tlie 1961 legislature granted
authority for a 5 per cent in

and the new bill, instead of
granting a 5 per cent increase
on present salaries, makes It
lawful to grant an additional
5 per-ceni increase on the 19G1
salaries.
A glance back through the re-,
cords Of the session shows that
a total of six out of eight
local Franklin County bills In
troduced were passed and rati
fied into law. The two bills In
troduced, but killed, were the
first county pay bill and a bill
that would have divided the
Town of Fi*anklinton Into wards
for the purpose of electing town
officials. *
On the passed side of the
ledger were bills allowing a
straw vote on fluroldatlonof the
Loulsburg municipal water sup
ply; a bill allowing the Town
of Bunn to hold an ABC elec
tion; a bill revising and up
dating the Bunn Charter; a bill
abolishing so-called "single
shot voting" In Franklin Coun
ty, a bill to allow police of
ficers In Loulsburg to live out
. side the City Limits and finally,
the County pay bill.
