In addition, ad-dition, most of the teachers not at the top step of the salary scale also received an annual experience increment in-crement averaging another $832. Thus, the total increase for a teacher who had not reached the top step in the salary schedule averaged $2,312, or 14.3 percent during the 1982-83 school year. These were some of the facts reported by Utah Foundation, the private research organization, in their regular annual analysis of teacher salaries in Utah. The beginning salary for a teacher in the Alpine School District this year is $13,462 . The salary schedule includes regular increases for experience and added academic training. Thus experienced ex-perienced teachers with a master's degree will receive up to $25,039 per year in the Alpine School District during the 1982-83 school year.

No additional personnel would be required to implement the plan, said Capt. Jay Barker of the Dept. of Public Safety. A resident, John Sabin, said he was concerned con-cerned that if a violation of the city code were discovered in an inspection, in-spection, a citizen could be prosecuted for having allowed the inspection. Councilman Harley Gillman said residents should be happy to comply with regulations for the safety of their homes and familes. Councilman Blaine Willes suggested compliance com-pliance may be unaf-fordable unaf-fordable to some residents at the time the inspection is make, and fear of possible violations may deter residents from requesting an inspection.

In addition to the salary increases provided, several Utah school districts began paying all or a portion of the 3.95 percent retirement contribution formerly for-merly paid by the employee this year. Millard and the Washington School Districts paid the entire 2.95 percent in behalf of the employee while Ogden School District paid 2.6 percent of the employee share. In effect, this action constituted an additional salary increase in-crease in those districts, as it raised their final take-home pay. According to the Foundation study, a teacher who began teaching in the Alpine School District during the 1977-78 1977-78 school year received a starting salary of $9,025. Today, that same teacher with five years of experience would receive $16,962. This represents an increase of $7,937, or 87.9 percent over five year period. Approximately $5,590 of that increase represents changes in the salary schedule and $2,347 represents annual experience increments. By comparison, the official consumer price index rose by 59 percent per-cent between September, 1977 and September, 1982.
