The bill to permit a wage increase for the bailiffs in the two Marion county civil: ‘munieipal courts was passed by the house today and sent to the governor for final approval. The measure, introduced in the senate by Senator Robert Lee Brokenburr (R. Indianapolis), would permit the municipal court judges to raise the bailiffs’ salaries from $1500 to $1980 a year. Rep. Earl B. Teckermeyer (R. Indianapolis) sponsored the measure in the lower house, pointing out that the two civil municipal courts handle the largest volume of cases of any courts in the county and that their bailiffs are the least paid. The bill does not mandate the increase but is permissive only.
