Patrick Hospital in Missoula, a nursing supervisor said. St. John suffered head injuries in a one- car rollover Jan. 1 at the Interstate 90 off-ramp at Ramsay. He was a passenger in a By JERI PULLUM Standard Staff Writer Butte-Silver Bow commissioners were one vote shy Wednesday night of overriding Chief Executive Don Peoples' veto of an ordinance fixing salaries for elected officials.

The council voted 7-5 to override, but eight votes are necessary. Dale Dart, Dave Fisher, Chris roll. Emmett Jones, Beverly Hayes, Dan Rosa and Oakie O'Connor voted against Peoples' veto. Don Ulrich, Joe Ivanich, Tom Brophy, Jim Casey and new Commissioner Margaret Leary voted to uphold the veto. The ordinance would have given most officials about a 50 percent increase in their salaries.

They receive $1,100 a month; that would have jumped to $1,775. Peoples told the council 'he planned to veto the ordinance after it was passed Dec. 17. He said the increases were too high considering Butte's financial condition. He also said the officials' positions and duties should be studied before such large increases are given.

He said a more reasonable increase would be the 20 percent he proposed during budget meetings. THE QUESTION was complicated because Peoples signed the ordinance Dec. 22, then withdrew it. He said it had been with a stack of other papers on his desk and he signed it by mistake. The signed ordinance had been fixed with the seal and attested.

but was not logged or filed. County Attorney Bob McCarthy said case law in such a circumstance is slight, but he said that generally a bill signed by mistake can withdrawn. O'Connor asked McCarto an attorney general's opinion, but added "these people (officials) will be in the poor house" before the opinion comes. He was referring to several requests the council submitted to the attorney general more than a year ago that are pending. Clerk of the Court Dan Bukvich also asked McCarthy why the elected officials'.

salaries are fixed by separate ordinance when the appointed officials' salaries. are fixed by the budget resolution. McCarthy said all salaries are fixed by ordinance, but the one dealing with appointed officials' salaries sets a base amount, then says they can be changed by the budget resolution. The ordinance for elected officials' could be worded the same way, he said. THE COUNCIL also agreed to give the Butte Local Development Corp.

(LDC) $20,000 in revenue sharing money in quarterly installments. However, LDC must sign a contract agreeing to solicit new industry and business; assist existing business with loans, relocation advice and seminars; continue managing the industrial park and LDC property; help Butte, with development grants and work as Butte's development arm; and submit monthly progress reports. Peoples said he intends to make sure the corporation lives up to its contract. NO ONE SPOKE at two public hearings on zone change proposals. Ordinances effecting the changes will be drawn up.

The first is to allow construction on lots with less than a 60-foot frontage if approved by the planning board. Present law requires a variance from the zoning board, which is much more difficult to receive. The second will eliminate the minimum lot width and area for the community commercial areas, mainly along Harrison Avenue. Commerical property owners will have to meet all other requirements, such as parking. THE COUNCIL also approved appointments to the following authority William Kent of 119 Renz, a manager of Amfac, and Jack Evans of 1153 Caledonia, a pharmacist at Skaggs, replacing Ron Fournier and John Bender, who resigned.

Wooolman, manager of Butte operations of the Anaconda Copper Bill Stetzner of Butte, manager of the Port of Butte; and Commissioner Jim Casey. Williams says: Ask for it By ED KEMMICK Standard Staff Writer Rep.

Pat Williams, D- warned a gathering of local officials Wednesday night in the Smelterless City not to expect- too much help from the federal government. The informal dinner. meeting for which Williams arrived 50 minutes late was attended by about 30 people, most of them members of the citycounty commission, advisory council and Anaconda Task Force. Williams said Anaconda's best bet might be to work more closely with the Anaconda Copper Co. in obtaining funding and other forms of aid until new industry can replace the dormant smelter.

Referring to the $3 million community adjustment fund donated by the company, Williams said, "I think Anaconda's going to give you more money than they said they Both the Anaconda Co. and Arco, its parent firm, are concerned about their image, he said, and if approached with "prudent, rational" ideas, may decide to give the community more money. "Anaconda has to con-. tinue to be approached in a manner that says, 'we're going to work he said. "'They're on the hook don't let too much line Williams also suggested asking the company to donate the services of a consultant to investigate and screen potential industries that want to settle in Anaconda.

"They may be willing to help you with that." AS FAR AS federal aid is concerned, Williams said he has been checking weekly with the Department of Labor on the progress of a petition to grant laid-off smeltermen eligibility under the Trade Readjustment Assistance Act. The act provides compensation for American workers laid off as direct result of foreign competition. time call them" he said, "they are three weeks away. But, he thinks the labor department will rule in favor of the smeltermen and that benefits will be available "pretty soon. I think they're getting pretty close.

Williams was not op: timistic that the Anaconda Co. could be forced to give more compensation if a plant closure bill passes Congress. He said there is a bill pending that would "simply make industry pay for some of the costs they dump on society," but that making it retroactive to include closed plants would be seen as "punitive" and probably would not pass. He also was unsure whether a proposed "superfund" bill, designed to clean up the nation's hazardous waste dumps, could be used to hire people for reclamation projects within the county. ON OTHER TOPICS Williams said: The Federal Trade Commission has agreed to release some transcripts from hearings when it was considering Arco's proposed merger with the Anaconda Co.

three years ago. He said the transcripts may show that Arco did not live up to all the promises it He would see if the owners of the old Anaconda Foundry could get equipment from surplus government stores. He and the rest of Montana's congressional delegation will continue pressing Arco to use its connections to induce new or expanding industry industry to locate in Anaconda. Commission elects its chairman tonight Election of a new chairman and the swearing in of one new commissioner and 14 members of the advisory councils tops Thursday night's agenda for the Anaconda- Deer Lodge County Commission. The new commissioner is Jim Edwards, owner of the Embassy Bar, who defeated District 1 incumbent Dean Beall one Nov.

4. Joe Kuffner and John Shea also were voted in Nov. 4, but took office soon after the election because incumbents Luke McKeon and Bill Spraycar had been appointed to the commission. Election of a chairman will be by a majority of the commission.

The commissioners also will be asked to approve a set of guidelines drafted by the Anaconda Task Force to govern use of a $3 million community adjustment fund set up by the Anaconda Copper Co.
