(Bill) In response to a letter of complaint from Brigham City jeweler J. Oleen Palmer, the board had Principal Nichols explain the LDS willing as an elected official to accept what amount to a pay increase. Neither does he like being dictated to by a state board on a matter which he feels should , provide more lattitude for local ' option. The mayor said in his opinion the Utah law which enables elected officials to raise their own salaries is wrong. He contends they should be able to do this only after proposing it prior to an election, to let the voters have a voice. In action this past week, the Box Elder County commission voted to pay the retirement benefit for county employes. At the same time, they expressed reservation in taking the action since it meant "all or none," indicting they wanted county workers to have the increase but not themselves.
