The Alabama County Compensation Amounts, Amendment 10, also known as Amendment 10, was on the ballot in Alabama on December 6, 1955, as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. It was defeated. The amendment proposed to amend the constitution. The amendment proposed that the register of the circuit court of Clarke County would be entitled to a total annual compensation in the amount of $1,800, plus such sum or sums as may accrue for performing his duties incidental to elections, as prescribed by law. Such compensation may be retained by the register out of fees and costs collected in the equity court, or may be paid by the County out of the County treasury, in equal monthly installments, as the court of County commissioners, board of revenue, or like County governing body may elect. In the event the fees and costs collected for any month are insufficient to compensate the register as provided herein, the deficiency would be supplied out of the County treasury; if there is an excess, the excess would be paid into the general fund of the County.
