Show 2 i THE BOX ELDER NEWS, Brigham City, Utah Sunday, October 1, 1967 si site by Sept. 1 this year? Been laying awake nights wondering about it, havent you? Well, Supt. Bill Krueger is as happy as a kitten with a ball of yarn because 16,700 noses were counted at the site during this past tourist season. Last year the estimate was 10,000 visitors. Commission Wrong In Boosting Pay It must have made the average Box Elder county citizen gulp hard last week to read that the county commissioners had fattened their salaries to the tune of $6,600 per annum. I We were dumbfounded at the action which t ticked $1,200 onto an already healthy $5,400 figure. The increase came in a package with pay boosts I; for other elective county officials. It stuck out like at sore thumb. The other county aides deserved an adjustment, the commissioners didnt. ; Furthermore, it has been less than seven years since the county board, as then composed, doubled its annual pay figure for each member from $2,700 tQ the $5,400 level. Wed say these have been a couple of giant steps in anybodys game. ' LETS LOOK at it on a comparative basis: ; Commissioners in neighboring Cache county receive $4,800 and this includes a $1,200 raise which went into effect July 1. i Adjacent Tooele county pays its commissioners $3,500 annually and they too received an increase in Ju,y- - We picked out these two counties for comparisons because not only are they located in the same area of the state, but they have other similarities with Box Elder county. INSTANCE, the population of Cache county, according to the I960 census, is 35,700, while Box Elders is slightly more than 25,000. Cache employs 65 regular workers and has a general fund budget this year of $707,000; Box Elder has 77 persons on its payroll and a budget of $774, 490. I While Tooele county employs fewer workers, 46, and has a smaller budget, $436,077, its population, 22,000, and land area are closely similar to that of our own county. FOR LEST WE BE accused of ignoring Weber county, another neighbor, here are some figures: ! The Weber commissioners receive $10,500, the maximum legal limit for a second-clas- s county. But going further, the commissioners meet twice weekly (as opposed to once in the other counties mentioned), administer a budget of $3,786,132, employ 480 persons and can boast a population of near 130,000. Now lets pull the comparisons closer to home, in fact right next door to the county courthouse in the Brigham City hall where councilmen meet weekly for $1,200 a year or a total of $6,000 annually for the entire five-macouncil! The mayor receives $2,100 a year. Since at least half of the countys residents live in Brigham City and because the city has a general fund budget of $910,000 and an employe roster of 75 persons (150 in the summer) we believe a comparison to be justified. n city-coun- IN FACT, the city has a greater variety of problems and administers more services, including water, electrical and sewer, garbage collection, recreation and associated facilities, cemetery, etc. Where is the justification then in paying three county commissioners a total of $19,800 when five city councilmen and the mayor receive combined pay of $8,100 annually? AND THERES another aspect to this matter. During the past year, county employes pressed for an advancement in pay and were finally awarded $12 more a month or an average increase of about three percent. (Sheriff's deputies subsequently received more.) By contrast, the Brigham City council while maintaining status quo in its own salary picture, has given city employes pay hikes averaging about seven percent since last year. (More for members of the police department.) We have high personal regard for each member of the county commission but in our estimation, they exercised poor judgement in this action and should give serious consideration to rescinding it. Weary, Mr. Hansen! Phil L. Hansen, before his election as Utahs attorney general recognized as the champion of the bad guys, has done little to alter his image. The former criminal lawyer who has on numerous Occasions embarrissed the Democratic party which elevated him to office, thanks to the 1966 landslide, is still at it. This past week he said in an Ogden speech, by inference, that Salt Lake City ought to spend less time trying to corral prostitutes and control liquor use and get down to other, more serious business. IT WAS IN THE true tradition of Hansens past performances. In the newspaper account we read, he failed to define specifically what other matters rate greater attention than drink and vice but we venture to guess it (was not w riting tickets on Jaguar state cars. At the risk of sounding may we tradition-smashing Mr. Handare to differ with the sen and declare that hquor violations and prostitution do have some elements repugnant to society in general. IF SALT LAKE CITY has been somewhat clumsy in establishing ground rules for enforcement, its in part thanks to the efforts of the attorney general whose stance pictures him as a defender of the wronged. Trouble with this posture is that persons who violate codes and laws of society are not the wronged but the wrong. Frankly, we grow a bit weary of Mr. Hansens incessant picking away at the Utah establishment, those areas which he considers to be "church bound. If he has a crusade to wage, let him do it on his own and not as the state attorney general, a position which tradition instills with some degree of responsibility and reserve. i s Begin Have you ever been to Golden Spike National Historic site? best The new plant manager at California Steel and T, ube in Brigham City, Robert V.
