Duchesne county residents expressed numerous complaints about the safety of school children on roads in the county at a meeting with the State Road Commission in Duchesne last week. The meeting is one of many being held by the Commission throughout the state to hear citizen opinions on road conditions. The Duchesne meeting was the largest held so far said Road Commission members. Concern for the safety of school children at three sites were mentioned to the commission members. The sites are: on U. S. 40 at the Myton turnoff, on the 5 dirt road, and on the bridge on at the mouth of Indian Canyon. Myton city councilman Russell Gingell stated that school buses that enter or leave U. S. 40 are endangered because of the high speed traffic along the highway. It was noted that six school buses turn on and off the highway three times a day and Councilman Gingell felt the highway at that point should be widened or a slower speed limit posted. Duchesne county school superintendent, Thomas J. Abplanalp, voiced his 5 opinion that school buses using in be because of some the might danger heavy oil trucks using the dirt road. Road Commission members were told that approximately 200 trucks use the narrow road and visibility is poor. Since more wells are planned for the area the traffic problem will get worse they were told. The dust is so bad in the area according to one man that his son suffers from asthma because of the dust. Fear for the safety of about 60 children who use the bridge on at the Indian Canyon mouth was expressed by Duchesne mayor candidate Lester Wallace. He said the bridge is too narrow for two U-3- Would you like to see: 0 A more attractive community in Duchesne? 0 More industry in Duchesne County? 0 Increased Tourism?

Wallace suggested that a bridge be experience would be receiving a salary of 58,091. Approximately 52,180 of thia increase came from boosts in the salary schedule with the remaining 5811 coming from annual increments for added teaching experience. In addition to these salary increases, the Utah Legislature last year provided that the State would begin to assume the employee's share of teacher retirement costs. This added another 5384 to the pay of teachers, making the total effective salary increase during the r period equal to 53,375 or 66.2. Moreover, teachers, who earned added college credits during this period may be entitled to additional compensation. Despite the salary gains made by teachers during recent years, the salary level of Utah classroom teachers in 1972-7- 3 below the still was 5841 or 8.9 States. As Mountain of the eight average noted, however, Utah does furnish the take-hom- e five-yea- employee's share of teacher retirement costs, a benefit not available in most other states. This special benefit, in effect, raises the take-hom-e pay of the teacher Utah approximately by average 5407, and reduces the disparity with the Mountain States average to 5434. Thus, the effective average'salary in Utah was below the Mountain only about 4.6 Sates average last year. By comparison, to the average salary paid in 1967-6Utah classroom teachers was about 5.0 below the average of the eight Mountain States. The Foundation study emphasizes that the salary comparisons are based on an analysis of published salary schedules. In addition to the outlined salary gains, most teachers in Utah also have benefited e by "fringe" benefit gains, such as a liberalized retirement program and local district participation in employee insurance costs. 8 non-wag- constructed for widened or a walk-wa- y the children. He also noted that the posted speed limit of 40 mph was being ignored and most of the traffice is going close to 60 mph as it passes the bridge. He wants the proper speed limit enforced. Highway officials stated that the primary purpose of such meetings was to get citizen input in the matter of road conditions and prompt attention would be given to complaints that warranted action. - My Neighbors f V Mu U-3- U-3- 3 "A Hen can sit still, and make Things Happen . . .
