These past few weeks have been hectic for both me and for my staff. Congress has been in session six days a week and night sessions have been the general rule rather than the exception. Needless to say, I'm somewhat exhausted by the pace and I am planning to rest and relax- for short period of time before getting back Into the harness. So, I hope you will understand and be patient If you write me and your letter is answered by my administrative assistant or one of my secretaries. ht ( FROM $3.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE tmiM aUSTRIKCfQlC' first W$tndt - V!h 5 National Advertising RepmeaUtlvt ' NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING ej rrweiice Chicago ; ; i - - ASSOCIATION Sail Lake CUy. Utaa T This week we publish the annual financial report of the Beaver County Board of Education. As in past" years, the report is published in the form chosen by the Board of Education not as prescribed by the laws jof the State ' ' ' f of Utah. According to an opinion by the Utah State Supreme Court, the purpose of publishing the annual financial report is to inform the taxpayers as to how their money was spent who received it, how much, and WHAT FOR. The only "what for" the report lists is salaries. Under a general heading, Payments Other!Than Salaried grouped all the other payments for supplies, transportation, administrative expenses, repairs to buildings, etc. Until a few years ago when The Milford News instructed an attorney to bring suit against th Board of Education to force compliance with the law, the salaries weren't even segregated.; We list below a few examples of payments made with no indication of what the payments were for. It would take hours to "segregate all the persons listed receiving moneys for more than one purpose or service, so we are listing only a few teachers and supervisory personnel who f "" received two separate amounts. .' ..j; : - . -- Salary Mel Hesitation Ruth Boswell Wallace R.
