Council then gave consideration to a report (dated l-3l-74) of the City Electoral Board, which report is set forth herein, in toto, as follows: At the meeting of the Martinsville Electoral Board on January 7, 1974, it was decided to request you to make the following changes in the voting precinct boundaries for the City of Martinsville: 1.

At your meeting on February 12, when this is discussed, we will have a map showing the boundaries and voting places. It is further requested that you increase the compensation of election officials from twenty-five to thirty dollars per day. These people are on duty from approximately five thirty in the morning until after seven at night; more than fourteen hours per day. They are also asked to attend training meeting without pay. We are fortunate in having some very fine dedicated people who serve as election officials and a little more compensation would be some recognition to them. The pay is fixed at twenty dollars by the state with the provision that the local governing body may increase this compensation.
