The building, constructed entirely by Rotary club members, houses wash rooms and storage for football and other equipment. V.I.P.

The amounts specified for various needs were as follows: Transportation fund, $60,760; educational fund, $851,400; building fund, $198,000; Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund, $10,000; and life safety fund, $49,500.

There was more than a bit of pride in the voice of the grandpop who told us he took his first turn at holding the future sports writer on arrival home from the hospital Sunday. Remember to watch the MCHS squad of-'84 --you might just possibly find a whiz in young Brendan! A quick thought makes us wonder if perhaps S.I.H. might have had a hand in selection of the name Brendan to match the nickname he chose for us many, many years ago. A number of comments have come our way, with which we could have no possible disagreement. They were all related to a proposed program Of replacing' trees which have been cut down because of disease. As we look down our very attractive Main Street and remember the rows of trees which once shaded the entire thoroughfare, we agree that (Continued on page 14) Expansion In Near Future Engineers Proceed With Supplement For City Guide The city council "heard a report by H.S. Sundin, representing Baxter and Woodman Civil and- Sanitary Engineers, at the meeting Monday night concerning near future plans for expansion of sanitary sewer service. Mr. Sundin reported word from the state of Illinois that McHenry will not be required to install tertiary treatment since adequate treatment and chlorination are now meeting requirements. Such additional treatment may be required in the future. From the report received, it appeared that a plan for expansion of the present plant will follow. Construction of new mains to the recently annexed areas will be necessary. A complete report was made on the sanitary sewer system and treatment facilities in 1966. The council voted to have the engineers proceed with a supplement to the report which will serve as a guide for further action.

They announced that sufficient interest invested since Jan. 1 realized sufficient funds to pay for the building except for $1,000. The only dissenting vote to the purchase was that of Dr. J.

Lembke, 42, was killed by a single shot fired by Sheriff John Carroll near the home of Lembke's estranged wife in that Algonquin community late Tuesday evening. Mrs. Lembke, her son, Larry, 18, and daughter, 8, watched as the sheriff and deputies attempted to reason with Lembke. Deputies Joe Harriman and Norman Williams answered the call from the son at 11:26 p.m., learning that the father, who had been ordered by the court to remain away from the home was inside with whiskey and a shot gun. Finding upon their arrival that he did have the gun, the deputies summoned Sheriff Carroll, Chief Deputy Nulle, Lt. Robert Madsen and Deputies Sam Huseas, Ronald Adams and William Meyers. FIRES AT DEPUTIES Through a public address system, they attempted to reason with Lembke, who responded with blasts from a .16 guage shot gun. This was repeated for fifteen minutes, after which tear gas was thrown into the house. He fired again, then ran from the front door and around to the rear, entering by breaking a door at that point. Shortly afterward, Lembke left by way of the front door again and shot at the squad as he ran to hide in some bushes. Sheriff Carroll fired one shot which proved fatal to the fleeing man. A physician, state's attorney and county coroner were called to the scene, after which the body was removed to the Warner" funeral home in Crystal Lake, where an inquest is pending.
