Wednesday, is adopted. .Explaining that "we have to increase salaries to keep our help," N. J. Crookston, county clerk, estimated that the total budget for 1943 will be no more and "probably "pro-bably substantially less" than the 1942 budget, which totalled $258,378. Proposed budget figures have not yet been submitted to cover all fields of activity, and none of the budget figures have been adopted. Mr. Crookston based his estimate of a lower total" budget mainly upon the expectation that the Logan-Cache airport budget, the civilian defense council appropriations appro-priations and the biannual election elec-tion costs would be decreased or eliminated. He anticipated an increase in-crease in weed control project costs and estimated that 1942's $98,978.08 board of health budget will be about the same in 1943. Commissioners and commissioners-elect have approved in principle princi-ple the salary increases asked for by department heads, Mr. Crookston Crook-ston said, "recognizing that we can't keep efficient help without raising salaries." Salaries of some elective officials had to be increased in-creased to provide ' increases for their assistants, he said, because wages of subordinates in some (Continued on page Eight) PROPOSED CACHE WOULD INCREASE COUTNY SALARIES (Continued from page One) cases cannot be more than a fixed percentage of that of their superiors. super-iors.
