MAYOR McKELDIN: Well, it depends on what you
|
|
2
|
want to do with him, what the Governor wants to do with him
|
|

|
For example, the salary, I think was about $2500 when I
|
|
4
|
was elected, but I brought Blanchard Randall in, and I
|
|
5
|
think we raised the salary to about $10, 000 so that he
|
|
6
|
really could be more than ceremonial, so that he could
|
|
7
|
really be there and make some contribution, but either
|
|
8
|
way, either 2500 as ceremonial or $10, 000 or $15, 000 and
|
|
9
|
have him a part of the organization and part of the Ad-
|
|
10
|
ministration, and do some work.

DR. BARD: But you don't think it is neces-
|
|
12
|
sarily important to keep a description of the office in
|
|
13
|
the Constitution?
|
|
14
|
MAYOR McKELDIN: I think it is -- it may not
|
|
15
|
be important, but it is necessary to keep it there. It
|
|
16
|
gives him a little prestige, he is in the Constitution,
|
|
17
|
and he signs all the commissions and all. I think it is
|
|
18
|
important, I would keep it there.
