ANNEXATION "DEAR EDITOR: "With regard to anonymous letters being sent people in Lakeland Park Lake land7 Shores and various newspapers, the board of directors and annexation committee wish to inform the people what was told to those of us who attended the meetings held on Nov. 13 and 14. "All questions were answered in a straightforward manner; nothing was held back. With reference to taxes, it was stated that taxes would be increased approximately $45 to $55 per year depending on assessed valuation of individual property. "It was also stated that this increase could be looked upon as an investment, not a cost-- an investment in a better area, better neighborhood, better living standard and better health. "Sooner or later, we of this area will need the facilities of a city government in order to i . .. • - maintain the value of our properties and foster the progress of this area and the city of McHenry. ' "The board and this committee have been referred to as un- American for trying to improve themselves and their neighborhood. Since when is it un- American to be part of a city? Since when can a few individuals tell the majority what to do? In America the majority rules. When the time comes that a few individuals cry un- American because something does not suit them, it will be time for all of us to leave. The annexation committee have been in constant touch with the community's attorney and have done nothing to bring discredit to themselves or their families. We will continue with the help of our attorney to.

One thirfg many city planners do know about car pools: They'd like to see more of them. "Encouraging people to use car pools may become a necessity for both private industry and government in the not-toopresent this program in a legal, orderly manner. "Dr. Leonard L. Bottari "1621 No. Pleasant Ave. "McHenry" distant future," warns Michael Robinson, deputy commissioner of streets and sanitation for the city of Chicago. The reason is the pressure of more people with more cars on roads and parking facilities. The only national figures that cast some light on the extent of car pooling, complied by the U. S. Bureau of Public Roads, show that the average passenger load on trips to work by private autos is 1.3 persons. That means that nearly 25 peer cent of those who get to work by private vehicle probably do so in sorpe sort of car-pool arrangement. With three or more people, traveling by car pool usually is competitive with public transportation-- and the more people in the pool, the cheaper it becomes. To conserve on parking space, many big companies offer the best spots on the firm's lot to car poolers. In Wastt-^ ington, D. C., the government has gone even further in en- ? couraging the car pool federal employees. Except- for high ranking officials, goverrtj* ment workers can't get a packing space unless they are paft of a car po(£. NEW FOB XMAS The Famous Kent of London ; Now at Nyes.
