01 January 1942 - County Judge H.W. Wilson appeared before the Levy County Board of County Commissioners and suggested that the County Commissioners employ a County Prosecuting Attorney, provided that same would not become burdensome to the county and if the County`s finances would permit it. Judge Wilson further stated that in his opinion it would be of great advantage and benefit to the County Judge`s Court and would ultimately result in a savings for the County. Whereupon, the County Commissioners employed Attorney W.F. Anderson as County Prosecuting Attorney with the understanding that he is to receive a fee of $5.00 for each conviction in the County Judge`s Court when the defendant pays the fine and cost adjudged against him. It is understood that this agreement would be entirely without any cost to the County.
