Green Street McHenry, Illinois THE TAX SITUATION "Dear Editor: "This letter- is in regard to the personal property tax and the means and length.that our county of McHenry will go to procure payment. My husband and I, like many others, have ignored this unfair tax; at least we tried. "Who pays? The small guy. Today at my husband's place of employment he was handed an inter-office memo in a plain Envelope marked "confidential". Whkt was it? A notice from the company's law division notifying him that a court order has been issued demanding a wage assignment. Creditor-- the People of State of Illinois. The sum, $147.70. This covers $128.45 taxes, $14.25 court costs and $10 judgment fee. The taxes to be collected are for the years 1955 through 1961. "Several newspapers have written articles that this tax must go, that it is unfair and He was preceded in death by his wife in 1952, and two brothers. The body rested at the George R. Justen & Son chapel. unjust; also that it is not enforceable. Is it? "First of all. have income tax, which we gladly pay, but don't forget it's a tax on wages. Then along comes our real estate tax which we also pay. Then we buy food, clothing,' appliances, cars, furniture, gasoline, cigarettes and liquor, all of which are automatically taxed at the time of purchase. We also buy license plates. Now along comes our great personal property tax. With this tax we are forced to pay taxes on things that we„have already paid a tax on. But, not everyone receives one of these bills. It is issued on a hit or miss basis. If you are registered for real estate, or own ja car, you receive a bill. What about the persons that rent or use public transportation? They still own personal property. According to the tax schedule sheet you must list all bank accounts, stocks and bonds, dividends, furnishings, clothes, jewelry, small appliances, linens ahd I could go on and on. There's no end to the, sfaedule. Oh yes, don't forget man's best friend. We also pay a dog tax for him! "Who gets it in the neck? The small guy. Why? Because it's a pretty sure bet that he won't fight back. Why? Because he doesn't have the money for lawyers' fees and court costs and can't afford to take off from work for numerous court hearings. That's why. "Mrs. Harold E. Krug "1701 N. Knoll Avenue "McHenry, 111." SCHOOL BONDING POWER "Dear Friend?: "Did you know that approximately 83 per cent of the McHenry high school assessed valuation comes from outside tlio city of McHenry? That means that 83 per cent of the hi^h school costs and 83 per cent of the bonding power of District 156 is supported by those wluu live outside the city limits of McHenry. "Harrison school students make up approximately 10 |ier cent^ of the high school student body. The question arose as to What percentage share the Har-, rison school district was sup-1 porting the high school. In fact, j what is the percentage break- j down of the. high school district j by the elementary school dis- j tricts sending their students to , McHenry high school? 'The ' results are interesting so here they are for you as "food for thought". "The following figures are taken from the McHenry Coun- j ty Year BookfHQ64-65, obtain- j able from the County Clerk's of- j fice only for the asking. (There j are many county facts contained in the book and everyone ; should have cne.) The Mc-! Henry high school district as* sessed valuation is $85,688,484 11963 figures are the latest available). Johnsburg District 12 is 10.25 square miles and assessed valuation is $17,6^7,920 or 20 per cent plus. Harrison District 36 is 4 square miles and assessed valuation is $8,745,- 31ft or 10 per cent plus. -Ringwood District 34 is 9.25 square miles and assessed valuation is $3,009. 1;j2 or 3 per cent plus. "McHenry Consolidated District 15 is 4*1.5 .square miles and assessed valuation is $56,492,- 037 but contains the city of Mr- Henry whose assessed valuation is $14,758,635. Therefore, the assessed vacillation of School District 15 outside the eity limns is obtained by subtraction which givrs $41,733,41'2 or 48 per 'rent • plus for District- 1,5 outside the C'ity limits and 17 per rent plus for the city of McHenry." "Kroin the above information you ran arrive at the Ijcginning statement that 83 per.rent, of the Mrllenry high school's "financial support rolnes from outside the city of McHenry and 17 per cent of its financial support comes from within the city. "Henry C. Setzler "4X10 Seneca Drive "Wonder Lake" INTERSECTION PROBLEM "Deat Friends: ' "I wonder if anyone agrees with me that another outlet to Rt. 120 from River Road (or Griswold Lake Road) seems far more important than the big money which is to be spent on curbing in this section. It is often slow and quite dangerous 1 lying to get out onto Rt. 120 to go" into town ahd another outlet would give ul®two chances or two cars at a time making it. An extension of Charles Street would be the shortest, and a big safety move. "If you have an idea on this problem send it in. Who knows, the right people might be listening. ' "Hugh kirk" CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our hCarifelt: appreciation and i thanks for floral offerings, spiritual bouquets, cards and prayers, donors of cars and other acts of kindness shown in our recent bereavement. We also wish to thank Fat her Wiedeman for his visits while our brother was hospitalized. -f From the brothers and sisters of William Smith' 2-lS-C>5 Irs WORTH A TRIP TO CHICAGO'S LOOP TO SEE INCOME TAX SERVICE 3721 W.
