Mr. Brannen said that earlier in the year mention was made to increase the
election inspectors pay. He asked if any provision had been made.
Supervisor Linge said no increase had been made. He also stated that this
was in line with what the rest of the towns and counties were doing.
Justice of the Peace Bulger said that it would be impossible to increase
the election inspectors pay because of the excessive expense the town will
have next year for P.P.R.
Supervisor Linge said that there was $14,000 next year for compensation
and expenses for election officials.
Mr. Brannen said there is $14,000 for compensation and mileage. He also
asked if the cost of P.P.R. was included in this. He wanted to know how
much was included for P.P.R.
Supervisor Linge said it would be up to each election district.
Mr. Brannen asked how much it would cost for a meal allowance. He said
$1.50 isn't much money for the hours the election inspectors put in. He

considered.
Mr. Brannen said he would like it to be considered next year.
