Only the portion of the bill providing for establishment of a state equalization board remains. But this part of the bill, like the formula provision, is meeting strong opposition. Gov. Jloff, who supports the bill, has named former Speaker Leroy E. Lawrence, Stamford; and Rep.

The four commissioners are Development Chief Roland Va-tour, $9,500, $150 over the $9,350 prescribed if he had been in the post before March 1, 1961; Highway Commissioner Russell Hol-den, $13,500.

$1,675 above the limit; Motor Vehicle head Robert Schwartz, $9,500, $410 above the maximum, and Public Service Commissioner John D. Paterson, SI 1.000. $1,375 more than the limit for that post. Only Banking and Insurance Commissioner Albert D. Pingree is receiving the $9,090 maximum set by the law, although he is eligible for an Emergency Board-fixed salary.

The 1961 law also provided that commissioners not covered because they held their posts prior to the March 1 deadline could receive $150-a-year more in salary for every year served in the position held but no more than $2,250 above the slat-u maximum. However, these boosts cannot take effect until July 1 of this year, the law stipulates. Shea's $2,400 boost would mean, if he came to the tax job before March 1, 1951, that the 33-year old commissioner would have had to be tax head for 16 years to receive such a boost.

This means, in effect, that the commissioners with two or fewer years of service can be assigned pay checks above other commissioners with more time in their posts and whose salary ranges are prescribed by statute. The intent of the bill was to give the state more leeway in bidding for new agency chiefs.

Statutory pay scales for commiss-sioners in Vermont are not the highest in the nation, departmental heads continually remind anyone who will listen.
