The last two occasions on which the salaries of county managers were increased by Ministerial orders were (1) as from 1st August, 1955, when there was an increase of 9.5% at the minimum of the scale and no increase at the maximum and (2) as from 1st August, 1960, when there was an increase of 5.9% at the minimum and an increase of 6.1% at the maximum of the scale.
County managers, including those for grouped counties, are paid on the standard salary scale of £2,140 per annum rising by annual increments of £65 to £2,400 per annum. Where a person is county manager for two counties one half of his salary is paid by each of the counties.

Plus travelling expenses?
I shall have to answer that again.
