Reinke said the percentage of increase proposed by the board averages about 15 per cent, including fringe benefits. The board proposal, including an increase in fringe benefits, would cost the school district an estimated additional $570,000 a year. At Wednesday's session, the teachers presented three alternate counterproposals to the board's new offer.

Reinke said while salary schedule changes vary somewhat, each of the teacher proposals carries a price tag to the district of an estimated additional $825,000. Each alternate asked full medical coverage. Two alternates include career increment adjustments for teachers at the top of the scale, and one carries a proposal for a flat $100 cost of living increase on the remainder of the current contract. Reinke estimates the teachers' counteroffers would provide salary increases averaging about 20 per cent.

(AP) The Montana Supreme Court Monday authorized the state's largest utility company to go ahead and collect an estimated $25 million in additional natural gas rates.

The action was taken with the understanding that the Montana Power Company might have to refund all or part of that amount. The order directs the Public Service Commission to set aside its recent order refusing a Montana Power Company request to pass through to its customers, without a public hearing, price increases set in Canada since Jan. 1. That increase is estimated at about $13 million. The PSC granted the Montana Power Company a $12 million rate increase last August, but the legality of that increase is pending before the Supreme Court.
