Gather commercially zoned locations will provide areas of pimilar development in conjunction with the non-retail and recreational districts. flf^Henry's two industrial aistricts have been revised to l>eflect current thinking in industrial zoning. The two new classifications --1-1, industrial jpark district, ana 1-2, industrial district -- are controlled as to nuisances by regulations jfor noise, vibrations, glare, gmoke and lighting. The principal differences between the two districts are the prohibition of outdoor storage, the (substantially larger setback>. find lower intensity of use or land coverage permitted in the farger industrial park area. "Phfe" industrial district reflects the character of existing Uses, and provision . has been made for limited expansion, "j New residential development is not permitted in either industrial district. The uses permitted are very broad, depending upon the abiUty of the firm to operate withinMhe nuisance regulations established. The nuisance regulations in both the industrial and commercial districts are valueless unless Vigorous enforcement by the city is maintained, planners say. Stanton & Rockwell feel that the requirement of providing 10 per cent of the lot for off-street-parking purposes tga^ npt given the necessary parking facilities to meet present demands. In fact, they say that in sofne instances providing parking on the same lot as tjie principal building would kjpean contradicting the end result desired in tfte ultimate de- \felopment of the central business district. Suggested provisions provide at schedule of required offstreet parking spaces by type of activity carried on in the principal building. Off-street parking is required for every use permitted in the ordinance, fiach single family resident rpust provide one off-street parking space and each retail store must provide one parking space for each 300 square feet of store space. Industrial plants must provide adequate parking for the use of employees and visitors as determinwt. by actual usage.. Under this provision, as soon as autos overflow a parking lot, the city is in a position to require that additional parkint, facilities be constructed to handle it. $1,336 REALIZED IN CITY'S RECENT MARCH OF DIMES Roland Herrmann, chairman of the polio drive in McHcnry. announced on Tuesday of this week- (hat a total of $1,336.61 had been collected to date in the recent March of Dimes drive.

However, the certificates of nomination necessary to make the filing complete were not made until 12:03 a.m. Tuesday with Town Clerk H. Walter Anderson. The Democratic ticket includes Eugene Piotrowski of MeCullom Lake for assessor; Jesse Seeman of Wonder Lake for clerk; John McCafferty of Wonder Lake, James Mclnerny of Pistakee Highlands and James Lennon of Sunnyside for auditors; and Henry Olszewski for assistant supervisor. Changes In Ticket Several changes in the Citizens party ticket were disclosed at the time of the filing deadline, made necessary because of the change in state law which permits only one new assistant supervisor. Originally, the ticket listed three men as candidates for the post, and a fourth had announced his intention. Two of the three, Joseph Sullivan of Wonder Lake and Robert L. Hurckes of Pistakee Highlands, have since withdrawn their names. Edward Thennes decided not to have his name entered as a candidate when the law passed. Sibre Whiting, who had filed to run for the board of auditors, withdrew from the race and Joseph Sullivan has now filed for that office. The complete ticket now lists Lester R. Bacon (incumbent) for assessor; H. Walter Andersen (incumbent) for town clerk; Arnold J. Rauen (incumbent) of Regner Road, Harold Freund of Johnsburg and Joseph Sullivan of Wonder Lake for the board of auditors; and Charles (Chuck) Weingart for assistant supervisor. McHenry's 1961 Fiesta Day will be held July 16. Representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, Jaycees, Kiwanis club of McHenry, Wonder Lake Area Kiwanis club. Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion and Rotary club met last Thursday evening to set a date for the big annual event, and make preliminary plans. This past week the state released the information that during 1960, there were 3,977,- 536 motor vehicles of some kind registered in Illinois,' a considerable increase over the previous year. The interesting part is that 41,231 were registered in McHenry county, which means that just about half of the population (83,- 156) own vehicles of some type. The same day that the above figures were revealed, the National Safety Council disclosed that the staggering death toll on the highway for last yeai was 38,200. So high is the figure that it sometimes has little meaning to many folks who fail to relate it to the total population. In order to make the picture more vivid in the mind of the public, the Council has listed a number of well known cities in the United States that would have been completely destroyed if all of the fatalities had occurred in one place. In Illinois that city was Galesburg, with a population of 37,243. The idea of an entire city being wiped off the map by traffic accidents in one year's time is not likely, yet the realization of the great number of lives lost is most vividly brought to mind when they are concentrated in one smail area. In spite of a pleasant winter in McHenry, we could- ; n't help but feel a bit envious [ when, we received a note, along ! with the renewal of a subscription, from Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bergmann of Sunnyside Beach, who are spending the winter in Orlando, Fla. Mr. Bergmann says they are enjoying balmy, sunny weather, with temperature* between 70 and 80 degrees daily. K.A.F.
