CANVASS OF SCHOOL BOND VOTES HELD (continued from page 1) Anticipation warrants in the amount of $83,000 were agreed upon for the educational fund. From two bids on school insurance, the firm of Walsh Insurance was awarded the contract for full coverage in District 15. The board will meet with the grade school principals later this month for salary negotiations. The general meeting adjourned and the board went into executive session. Musin9 and Meanderin (conti^ged from j^age 1) summer of 1967 when heated debates to save Landmark school disturbed an otherwise favorable climate between ' school board and several hundred voters. Some of us who were among the 965 petition signers to save the old school refused to-let strong feelings interfere with the needs we realized so well. But we are convinced that others allowed scars to mingle with a rising tax burden and other lesser reasons to create a negative reaction which continued, in some cases, through even the last election. We believe that the support promised for the school building program in exchange for saving Landmark, made by petition signers, was sincere. Equally sincere, but we feel unfortunate, was the decision of school leaders to ignore the appeal until all else failed. Substantiation for this belief seems to lie in the strong support of the city's sewer referendum, although this bond issue, too, will be costly. However, this is no time for looking back. Important at this point is that the community will be moving ahead with expanded facilities to meet future growth. McHenry area voters are to be congratulated for their foresight - many at a personal sacrifice. We can only hope that the confidence of the public in their office holders will be repaid many times over in the years ahead. K.A.F.
