They also will vote for candidates in the Mcllenry High School District 156 election. 5 Announced Harrison- candidates are incumbent member Mrs. Jay Hansen, and Robert Liddfell, Mrs. Hedda Bird and Joseph Sullivan: James Robison is not seeking re-election. Wonder Lake candidates, for the McHenry board are Henry Setzler, long-time and continuing member of the Harrison board, and George Freund, recently appointed to fill a vacancy. Freund is running unopposed for a one-year term. Setzler is one of six candidates for a three-year term. In an overtime meeting that ran past midnight, the Harrison board debated the heed for a referendum, and whether it should be voted simultaneously with the "board election. The referendum will be discussed at the Harrison P.T.A. meeting Tuesday night, March 12. Dr. Raymond H. Watkihs presented reasons to forego a referendum at this time, and he found support among some members. Dr. S. L. Ruggero, board president, presented the pro-referendum position, ano also had his supporters. Supt. Merl F. Thomas, while presenting clarifying comment with respect to both viewpoints, indicated he favored the referendum now. In two roll-call votes, the board agreed 6 to 1 to seek a 21 cent increase in the educational fund tax levy, and 4 to 3 for an 8 cent increase in the bus transportation fund tax levy. On roll-call, Dr. Ruggero, Mrs. Hansen, Setzler, Robison, William Cristy and Wilbur Haak favored the educational k fund increase from 96 cents to $1.17 per $100 valuation, Dr. Wpi i<UIN \ otccl I If passed, this increase would provide about $16,000 iij new funds. Less enthusiastic were members in favor of the bus transportation fund tax hike, although it. was noted that the educatjpnal fund is t|eed to make up bus cost deficits. Close Vote Oa Epll-call, Dr. Ruggero, Setzler, Haak and Robison favored, and Mrs. Hansen, Cristy and' Dr. Watkins opposed increasing the bu» levy from the present 2 cent to a maximum 10 cent per $100 valuation. This would provide about $6,400 in new money and eliminate need for bus subsidies from the. educational fund. On the basis of Wonder Lake's average $8,000 property assessment, taxes per property owner would, increase about $23.20. New revenues in the educational fund would provide two additional teachers, one in tha upper grades and the other to eliminate the school's last splits class, the fifth-sixth grade. Sub-standard space in the old building would house the extra class. The money also would offset a current deficit estimated at the rate of $12,000 annually. The new funds, when available, would save interest cost of tax anticipation warrants. As matters stand, regardless of the outcome of the referenda, tax warrants will be nee.ded by late April to complete the current school year. Tax non-payments are a major cause for the deficit. Neither the education nor bus transportation tax rates have been increased the past nine or ten years, despite expanding enrollment that is crowding facilities. A bond issue for building expansion, either the present building or a new structure at another location, is being discussed for later action. / Approve Teacher In a related roll-call, the board voted 5 to 2, with Dr. Watkins and Mrs. Hansen opposing, to hire the teacher needed to eliminate the split class, and to use the substandard space available. Dr. Watkins urged all means of getting revenues be explored before increasing taxes, that, he said, could harm particularly persons on fixed income. Among his proposals were to freeze salaries for at least two years; and the vigorous collection of delinquent taxes, especially personal property taxes. D.!

By Mike PiUen school districts do not have tax collecting powers, are hamstrung by county and state tax collection problems, must await reassessment results, all at a time when pressing need exists for funds to maintain current operations and meet expansion requirements.
