Show 2 Brigham City, Utah Thursday, August 16, 1962 fice that the salaries of members" of the Board of Commissioners of cities of the third class in this State may not be lawfully increased during their terms of office." Former Brigham City Official Criticizes Pay Boost Proposal Editor: Just in case you didn't know, by state definition, Brigham City is a third class city and the above opinions directly concern us. I Supreme Court. seems the decision to raise salaries of the mayor and city council was based on a July 11, 1947 opinion by Grover A. Giles, then attorney general of the state, and was based on the Utah Code Annotated 1943. But it disregards two opinions based on the revised code of 1953 which clearly and unmistakably say that such a move would be unconstitutional. t It On Feb. 25, 1954, Attorney General E. Callister, who now sits on the Supreme Court bench, referred to the 1953 code, and issued this opinion! Section . "Under that section no city official can raise, vote to raise, or be a member of a board voting to raise, his salary. R. Just this week, Kes-Ip- 1 50 15, 1912 should determine that it is a violation of the duty of said official to increase his own salary while in office, that then his bondsmen would be personally liable for any sum whatsoever that might be paid to him by the passing of a new ordinance to increase his salary." 2 That seems pretty clear to me. in an opinion written by Deputuy Attorney General Roland G. Robinson Jr. for Attorney General A. Pratt he says in part: This office has taken .occasion to examine these (previous) opinions and to likewise study the Utah Constitution and the applicable sections of the Utah Code. We conclude that the better reasoned opinion and the one which correctly sets forth the Utah law in his area is that issued by E. R. Callister under date of February 25, AN ALLOWANCE of $50 per boy to help defray expenses when Future Farmers of America repiesentatives attend national FFA conventions this au- "Accordingly, it is The Box Elder High school FFA chdpter won state dairy judging competition Now, that should set the record straight.
