Benson makes Educators View Spiraling Costs The cost of both education and rent is going up but the State Board of Education has sharply different attitudes toward the two. During discussion at its Friday meeting it quickly became clear the board is opposed to rent increases especially rent the board pays for its quarters in toe University Club Building. The board takes an opposite view, however, on the need to increase school support It would like more school money from the budget session of toe Legislature which will convene next month. NO PRICE TAG Although toe board has not yet put a price tag on its 1970 school bill, it was told that the states influential Society of School Superintendents has. They estimate, be said, that increased tax valuations would provide $3.1 million of this amount, leaving $8.2 million to come from state appropriations. FACTORS LISTED According to Bell, the superintendents say toe sum is needed for these purposes: Growth, $1.5 million; increments and inflation, $5.1 million; professional leadership (paying teachers higher salaries for leadership responsibilities), $2.2 million; retirement and social security costs, trans portation, $700,0; vocational education, See COSTS on Page at last ed? ft--S Molt by a Box Elder County youth and winner of last Satur- days Junior Turkey Show, Friday to was presented Gov.
