/ .Crowd Hears College Site Discussion (Continued from page 1) the record show that the chair­ man refused to let an interested spectator speak." Nichols countered with," Let the rec­ ord show that Mr. Field inter­ rupted Mrs. Hill's reading of the letter." As Mrs. Hill continued, the ^ letter explained how there would i£j be a saving of $200,000 on each, gg the sewer and water systems, if there could be a hook-up to the city, for a total saving of $400,000. Pointing out that on-site sew­ er systems are expensive, Mr. Field's letter stated that con- Ssidering his new proposal, even if the Anderson site were giv­ en at no cost, it would still £ be more expensive for just the *• on-site system to be installed, t At the end of the letter, Mc- * Henry City Attorney Looze said + he would like to set the record Z straight, that there has been no evaluation for extending the !+ sewer from McHenry to the '-•* Field site. He added that the ;<£ city had not been approached until Wednesday of last week \V about extending service to that point and the matter would be taken up at the next council 4* meeting. His purpose, he said, P was only to inform the board jgft that no estimates were given as ** to what the cost would be to •{S bring sewer and water to the "•*% Field property or to what ex- '4ent the city might participate. . - Supt. of Public Works Fred Meyer of McHenry, regarding Svyewer price extension, said the "^information had been delivered Z+JXo Dr. Etheredge's office at the |»%ollege, but members said they £*<had not received it in time to K*itudy the report. |»* The meeting was interrupted |5«t this point for soil drilling |*3reports on the Ladd property, |*>hich was said to have an ex- jjheellent foundation for erection buildings. The ground water -^conditions were discussed at >•- - great length by David Ladd and £&&mbrose Thillman of Ladd En- •f&erprises, H.C. Hall and the -fcoard. j#** The plat presented contains --V196.4 acres, of which about "twenty acres would be consider- as troublesome water area. • v-When Mrs. Hill asked what could done to utilize this land, ;'3he architect assured that it t^was not important enough to • >worry about. Sixty per cent of the land was t"reported to be quite level and ;*Would not require cutting or ••filling. A large map of the plat ?Hwas placed on the bulletin board show where borings were ;j|Jgkaken. s _».vv .vw :.j£ McHenry* s representative on board, Donald Truckenbrod, 0pnquired as to the amount of U*£and taken up by a pond shown v*pn the map. Thillman stated ;^that the pond could be drained might be made into a lake •>Jo add to the aesthetic value the location. Boone creek j£Jtlso runs through this section. <.«v Ladd stated that there were lt>12-inch water and sewer mains '^now installed as^ far as Oak- ••>ood drive, and on that street. ! .-This road would be the northern ;*i>oundary of the proposed site. Asked about water pressure » jn the area, Fred Meyer showed, : :^n the plat, where sewer lines l^jixtended and where a proposed •v^ater tower would be erected, ly^his, he explained in answer to ••Questions, would be the expense the city since it would be stalled even if the site were sold to the college. Existing mains were reported be more than adequate to idle the collie. "It could le 7,000 homes", he said, •£*and that's what they figure for ! . yollege facilities." t*: In summing up information, Hall made the following state­ ment: "According to our findings, the Ladd site is con­ sidered superior for construc­ tion of such a project." Dr. Etheredge then read a letter from Kenneth Koin, who1- submitted the original costs reports for on-site systems for the other sites. At these par­ ticular locations, he said, con­ sidering all things, it would be more economical to build on- site systems. However, in re­ gard to the Ladd site or any other that could be connected with a municipal system, this would be greatly preferred be­ cause of insurance rates, up­ keep, etc. Board President Nichols in­ quired about city rates for Mc­ Henry and what the projected rates might be, to which Atty. Looze and Meyer of McHenry stated that this, like other in­ formation, was submitted to the board in July. As far as in­ creased or projected rates were concerned, the present water and sewer rates have been maintained since 1936. In a jocular manner, Nichols then asked if the college would be given preferential treatment, to which he was informed by Mr. Looze that the rates are uniform for all. Nichols then asked if any churches were given free water, as some mun­ icipalities do. When he WctS in­ formed thatthe^were not, Nich­ ols commended the city for op­ erating such a fair system. Given permission to speak, Ivan Hill of Crystal Lake, a county businessman, said a rep­ resentative on the State Junior College board who had kept records of all costs of on-site water systems had informed him that he had made an es­ timate of $800,000 for a pos­ sible on-site system to meet the needs of a junior college the size anticipated in McHen­ ry county. He continued:" When you con­ sider this Ladd property which has the water already on it, it makes it an important point in regard to questions of in­ surance rates applicable be­ tween municipal facilities and if you had the proper pressure from a water tower which is adjacent to the school, the sav­ ings on the insurance rates would be very important." Mr. Hill said he was not contesting figures which had been presented. "There are many sources of information", he said," and the thing that concerns me (and I am sorry that my concern irritates some people) but it is beyond me as to how the public can be ex­ pected to vote on a referen­ dum or how the board can be expected to vote on a site without revealing completely all the facts. When the first ne­ gotiations started, these prices we£&v*fK>t that secrtt. In order that you may succeed, show the public all the facts that you have. They should be presented to the public. Since I am par­ tially retired, I have the time and the money to check these things and in the state of Ill­ inois, legally, it may be more difficult to keep secrets than to reveal them. "In reference to Ladd prop­ erty, I am very happy this has come before the board. I am not interested in any particular site. It would have been better for me to keep quiet than to speak up. I would have been richer had I done that. I do believe that the single object of all the board members and all the people who have come here tonight is to see a col­ lege built. When you see some­ thing that might make hundreds of thousands of dollars differ­ ence, I would hope you would be very careful and thorough in your consideration." In answer to Parsley's ques­ tion as to the name of the man who had given him information on the on-site systems for the college, Hill said he was Floyd Tomkins. Hill then encouraged the board to contact Tomkins to obtain some of the expense reports of other junior colleges in regard to on-site systems. Mrs. Hill then suggested that the letter sent to Dr. Etheredge by the city of McHenry be read. To the letter, signed by the city clerk, were attached two let­ ters, one from Mr. Rakow of the State Highway department, and the other from the engin­ eers for the city. Information on the Ladd site had been re­ quested in a letter from the college board to the city. Mr. Rakow's letter stated that the proposed extension of Bull Valley road to Rt. 31 would be complete by the fall of 1972 and open for use. It stated further that the comple­ tion date could be moved ahead if circumstances so dictated. Information in the engineer's letter said the extension of water and sewer systems for the Ladd site would be available directly from the 12-inch mains on Oakwood drive. Mrs. Hill said that since the architect's rating sheet was on hand for the four proposed sites, it might be well to tell the public the ratings. They were as follows: Ladd, 950; Stilling, 931; Field, 928; An- New Pathways To Fine Careers Open In Health World New pathways to bright, chal­ lenging careers open every day in the health world, and this is a good time to talk about the prospects in this area of worth­ while work. Today many high school jun­ iors and seniors are pondering what career to choose, explains Bert Hanson, adminstrator at Memorial Hospital for McHen­ ry County. "They are in many cases striving for a type of work that will be helpful to their fellow man, and work that will be chal­ lenging to their abilities. The number of health care careers grows daily, and more than 200 await inquiry now." Many young people have chos­ en their general area of edu- cation-perhaps liberal arts or education-but have not pinpoint­ ed the area they want to work. Or, perhaps for lack of a bet- derson, 922; Mrs. Hill added, "I think this speaks for it­ self." The meeting was adjourned until Dec. 18. ter direction they've decided to start four years of college and " hope they'll find something they like." This is why Hanson today calls attention to the variety of pathways beckoning in the health world. Scientific advancements provide break-throughs in new job opportunities as sophis­ ticated equipment adds to the ways people can help in the total health care field. "Careers in health care in­ clude both close association with patients and work in such areas as laboratory tech­ nicians, record librarians, of­ fice and admittance personnel and dietitians," says Hanson. What should people who might like to check out the health care field do? Contact Hanson at Memorial hospital! First, he has considerable up-to-date literature on a host of careers. Second, he'll help you meet someone in the area of inter­ est you want to investigate-a doctor, nurse, x-ray tech­ nicians, record librarian or maintenance engineer. The health care field needs top, ambitious young men and women, and this type young per­ son needs the challenges that may best be found in the grow­ ing health care world, concludes pQ JQ - PLA|NDEALER - WED. DEC. 17,1969 Hanson. \ „ _ Hanson said in addition he can also help arrange for prospective students in the health care careers field to have a personal visit at pos­ sible schools of his choice to provide more firsthand infor­ mation on what to expect in training and what to anticipate in work responsibilities, sal­ aries, and promotional oppor­ tunities.
