Tax bill WASHINGTON (AP) President Clinton said today opposition to his broad-based energy tax is "a big hang-up" in negotiations over his economic package, but he is optimistic the measure will survive. "We're working through it," the president said at the beginning of a meeting with the Congressional Black Caucus. The deficit-reduction measure is scheduled for a House vote Thursday and the voting margin is expected to be razor thin.

An alternative Senate plan drafted by Sen. David Boren, would eliminate Clinton's energy tax and replace it with spending cuts. successful Treasury auction of five-year notes. Bonds also rose in reaction to a statement by House Speaker Thomas Foley, that House Democrats will rally behind President Clinton's budget bill. The bill is scheduled for a vote in the House on Thursday.

"The enthusiasm spread over to stocks" which had "been lollygag-ging" for most of the session, said A. Gary Shilling, an investment adviser in Springfield, NJ. There had been much concern in the financial markets that the bill might fail and prolong the markets' confusion about the budget and tax rates.

Supreme Court restored Pakistan's ousted government today, dealing a blow to Benazir Bhutto's WASHINGTON (AP) Hillary Clinton brought union activists to their feet today with a slashing attack on price gougers and profiteers in medicine that amounted to a test run of the White House sales pitch for health reform. "Give 'em hell, Hillary!" a woman shouted as the first lady stepped on stage at the Sen-ice Employees International Union conference. Mrs. Clinton did just that in a 20-minute stump speech for health reform before the friendly labor crowd. She named no names, but dosed out the rhetoric against big money interests she has accused in the past of profiteering while millions of Americans struggle without health insurance or adequate care.

Trustees OK donating school use for latchkey partment by Buddy Zarbock of Computer Services Bureau, the city's IBM supplier. A third company, HTE Chiefs of Orlando, was contacted, its advertisement appearing in the trade magazine of the International Chiefs of Police, Bauer said. All three firms put on demonstrations here and dispatchers were asked about ease of operation after hands-on use, Bauer said. The money for the system was in the 1992-93 police budget earmarked for municipal court remodeling, which according to City Manager Lorry Lipparelli, was not going to be done at this time. Bauer asked if the money could be spent on CAD and Lipparelli agreed.

Police Chief Bob Songer was apprised of the purchase process and the purchase contract was cleared with City Attorney Robert Goicoechea. The CAD system software was purchased March 31. "It was never my intent, nor did I consider for a single moment that I was doing anything improper, illegal or in circumvention of law or established policy," Bauer told council-men, adding that he "would stand fully accountable" for the CAD purchase. "I'm not going to let my captain take the lumps for this," Chief Bob Songer told councilmen. "The final responsibility is mine," he said.

Lipparelli said the final responsibility "was mine and nobody else's." Lipparelli lauded the police department's purchase as "unselfish," benefiting the fire department and emergency medical services, the county sheriffs department and all agencies in the Central Dispatch Interlocal Agreement. "They the po i'u, $812,719 that the district lost because of Gov. Bob Miller's five percent cut in school funds, which won legislative approval this session. In addition, the new figure takes into account $300,000 coming from the opening balance to be used to pay for new equipment for Spring Creek junior-senior high now under construction. The administration decided to "try' and find a way to take care of equipment purchases for Spring Creek out of the general fund" and preserve pay-as-you-go funds for future capital building projects, Harris said.

He said, however, that the new budget figure still does not reflect the $800,000 that will come out of the $3,538,062 opening balance for the 2.5 percent raises approved earlier this month for teachers. The raise is retroactive to the beginning of their contracts for the current school year. Harris said time constraints prevented completing that change in time for last night, but it will be done by June 1. The final figure approved last night is $4,686,647 lower than the $63,353,818 budget approved in May 1992. The budget is down because an $8 million short-term loan for the Spring Creek school was included in the 1992-93 budget.

Also last night, Clerk of the Works John Bland reported that roughly 120 construction workers are attempting to complete the Spring Creek High School complex on time for the start of the 1993-94 school year. "Basically, they've started finish work now," Bland said, adding that he had to say he didn't know the answer when people ask him whether the school will be completed on time. "If they keep pushing it very hard, they might," he said. Billings said the target date for the final of the four buildings classroom, library, vocational and gymnasium is Aug. 1.

Steve Zambrano, vice president of Intermountain Construction of Idaho Falls, the project contractor, assured the board last night the school would be completed on time. In other action, the school board: Approved the 1993 94 district high school applications for member- of Elko; sons, Stephen Baumann of Elko and George Baumann of Forks, brother, Walter Baumann of Elko; sister, Helen Partridge of Bishop, seven grandchildren; and one great grandson. Funeral services will be conducted at 2 p.m. Friday at Calvary Baptist Church with Pastor John Randolph officiating. Burial will follow in the Elko cemetery.

A memorial is being established with the Calvary Baptist Church Building Fund, 521 Walnut Street in Elko. Burns Funeral Home is In charge of arrangements. Elko County school trustees last night agreed to support the city's latchkey program for the 1993-94 school year by donating the use of Mountain View Elementary School for the after-school program. Superintendent of Schools Paul Billings said the policy has always been that the district doesn't charge for use of buildings when school-age children are involved but does charge for adult activities. "I certainly see no reason why we can't follow that philosophy with latchkey," he said.

"I thought this was one of the best programs" offered by the Elko County Recreation Commission when it was functioning, trustee Lyle Nutting said. "I'd like to see donation of the building." Nutting was on the EARCO board, which was made up of the city, county and school district, until the school board dropped out of EARCO last year. When EARCO disbanded at the end of the year, the City of Elko agreed to take over the latchkey program at Mountain View and the county took over the program at Sage Elementary School in Spring Creek. Now, the city has agreed to operate latchkey in the next school year but the county has opted to discontinue support. The after-school program will run from the time children get out of school until 5:45 p.m., said latchkey coordinator Dawn Leyva.

The program will continue to be housed in the old multi-purpose building at Mountain View. Also last night, the school board adopted the final budget for the 1993-94 fiscal year, which Assistant Superintendent Richard Harris said is "about as tentative a final as you can get." The school district must submit a final budget by June 1, but the state legislature is still in session and has not yet approved school aid figures for the biennium. The final budget adopted last night totals $58,667,171, which is $1,112,719 less than the $59,779,890 tentative budget the school board passed last week following a public hearing. Harris explained that the slightly modified budget includes a lower beginning balance reflecting the Memorial service held for Mario D'Orazio lice could have used this money only for their own department and spent it $4,000 at a time," Lipparelli said. Davis said the proposed purchase should have come before the council-men for approval.

Councilman Hoffman agreed with Davis. Hoffman said he saw nothing wrong in Bauer's actions. "My fault is with Songer and Lorry. In my opinion, this should have come before the board this is a lot of money," Hoffman said. "It was not a secret," said Mayor Jim Polkinghorne.

"It was explained to me and I concurred. I was aware of it." Polkinghorne said the issue proved the suggestion he had made at a budget hearing last month that each councilman should meet once a week for an hour with the city manager on a one-to-one basis for an update on projects in progress. Davis said she believed "that every purchase of $10,000 or more" should come before the governing body. Councilmen ratified the purchase by a vote of 4-0; Councilman Bill Strickland was absent. In other action yesterday, councilmen: Approved a contract with Hyett Palma through the National League of Cities to draw up a long-term plan for the revitalization of Elko's downtown.

Cost of the project is $15,000, half of which would be paid by the Downtown Business Association. Approved a contract for Brenda Berg to be recycling coordinator for the city, a part-time position paying $10 per hour and not to exceed 20 hours per week. The contract has a 15-day cancellation clause and is for a term not to exceed six months. first applied his skill towards a career as a Surveyor's Aid for Challis National Forest. He then transferred to Echo Bay Mine in Battle Mountain as a surveyor.

He later was promoted to a position as an ore technician, working with computers to define ore zones. He learned new skills quickly, the family added, and recently was promoted again to a job as a technician in the mine's hydrology department. A statement from the family read, "Most important to Mario was his love for this family and friends. His outflow of kindness, generosity and caring touched not only the lives of the many he knew, but also those of strangers in need. An image that most appropriately mirrored his own life was the huge heart that emblazoned the T-shirt he won every year from his wrestling team.

It symbolized one who gave everything he had to every match winning was inconsequential." He is survived by his wife, Christine, of Battle Mountain; parents, Joe and Toni Sullivan of Challis and Gary and Linda D'Orazio of Elko; brothers and sisters, Jeri of Elko, Gina of Los Angeles, Rocco of Challis, and Sammy and Joey of Boise, Idaho; grandparents, Gerry Lewis of Challis and Emma Warren of Boise; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Samuel Franscco D'Orazio of Boise, and greatgrandfather, George West Keyes of Challis. NOTICE SCHOOL FOR ELECTION WORKERS May 27, 1993, 7 p.m. City Hall Conference Room Giuliana Murphy, City Clerk Elko City Councilmen yesterday ratified the purchase of a computer aided dispatch system (CAD) for the police department. The $19,500 purchase price had been removed from the bills approved by councilmen at the May 18 meeting and put on last night's agenda at the request of Councilman Carol Davis, who had said she wanted a more strict accounting of the matter.

EPD Capt. Bill Bauer told council-men the CAD, purchased from New World Systems of Troy, allows for the rapid assimilation of information and when in full operation will provide such data as instant access to warrants, court and officer safety information. Firefighters en route to a fire call will be able to learn what, if any, hazardous materials are stored at a fire scene and emergency medical personnel will be able to get information on patients' medical histories. It also will interface with EPD's records system, he said. Original asking price was $36,000 and did not incude training, Bauer told councilmen.

The $19,500 includes the software, installation and training. Company representatives will fly out from Michigan to train dispatchers here, he said. Councilmen Davis and Lee Hoffman had complained that the purchase had not been put out for bids and that councilmen were not aware of the purchase until it was made. State law specifically exempts computer software from the bid process. Bauer said the names of two suppliers, New World Systems and Computer Information Systems of Skokie, 111., were supplied to the de Weather Elko, Spring Creek and vicinity: Tonight, partly cloudy, lows 4045.
