Edison Issues Statement After ICC Rate Decision The following statement in connection with the Illinois Commerce commission rate case decision was issued Friday afternoon by Hubert H. Nexon, Commonwealth Edision company vice-president; "We are disappointed in the decision of the Illinois Com­ merce commission. The ap­ proved increase in electricity rates falls short of providing the immediate rate relief Edison considers necessary for m a i n t a i n i n g c o n t i n u e d reliability of service to customers, improving and protecting the environment and regaining the financial strength to carry out these purposes. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Dec. 5, 1931) Charles Vycital was sur­ prised by a party of friends in h o n o r o f h i s b i r t h d a y a n ­ niversary. A delicious duck dinner was served at 6:30. Those present were M.J. Schoenholtz, Tony Wirtz, Edmund Willis, Howard En­ sign, Stanley Schaefer, Orval Granger, Richard, Stanley and Harold Vycital and J.J. Vycital. Claude E. Davis, 48years old, died at his home in Iroquois, 111., after a long illness. Mrs. Davis was formerly Miss Letah Page of McHenry. According to official figures announced by the University of Illinois McHenry County is represented with fifty students. Six of these come from McHenry. Sister May Celine of DesMoines, Iowa, and Sister Mary Delorata of Chicago spent last week with the for­ mer's father, Patrick Conway. A party of relatives were entertained in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Frisby Sunday in honor of his birthday an­ niversary. Huppy Smith led this week's open bowling with a high score of 267 which gets him a nice cleaning and pressing job as well as one dollar in cash. Mr. and Mrs. T.J. Walsh were dinner guests of their son, Richard B. Walsh, at the Merchandise Mart, Chicago, Thanksgiving day. E.H. Merrick of McHenry tendered the lowest bid on the paving of the stretch of paving under the newly completed viaduct over the Soo line railroad on Route 21, between Lake Villa and Antioch. Even with this increase, the average price of a kilowatthour to an Edison residential customer will be less than it was 10 years ago. "While we are strictly limited in what we can charge for electricity, we continue to be hit hard by high costs on every front. Interest costs remain extremely high, con­ struction and operating costs continue to grow, and so do taxes, which will eat up more than half of the revenue in­ crease. 1 Edison must finance an e n o r m o u s c o n s t r u c t i o n program which calls for spending nearly $10 million a week over the five-year period 1971 through 1975, or a total of $2.5 billion. About $200 million of this sum is devoted to en­ vironmental improvements. Unless the company can make adequate charges for elec­ tricity, it will have difficulty in carrying out this enormous program. Electric rates which are too low will make it more expensive for the company to raise the necessary capital and, in the long run, will result in higher costs to consumers.

Becker, a retired jewelry designer, on his s e v e n t y - e i g h t h b i r t h d a y a n ­ niversary said that he prefers beauty to speed. This he flatly stated at a surpise birthday party which was arranged for him by his two daughters, Gertrude Diederich and Adeline Becker on Nov. 23. Mr. Becker is one of McHenry's pioneer residents who came to live here in 1904. A mass meeting to which the public is invited will be held in the high school auditorium Dec. 11 for the purpose of discussing the proposed new addition to the school. Fred Bienapfl has moved from a place east of the river to his new home on South Green street. St. Patrick's church was the scene of a simple but im­ pressive wedding Nov. 30 where Miss Evelyn Powers of North Crystal Lake became the bride of George Freund. Father William A. O'Rourke officiated at the double ring ceremony. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Frisby, Jr., born Dec. 2, passed away at the Woodstock hospital the following day. The Ladies Mission Aid Society of Zion Lutheran church will hold a Christmas Gift sale Dec 6 in the church basement. Miss Nancy Carey and Miss Vivian Leonard of Meridian, Miss., both of whom are at­ tending St. Mary of the Lake College at Notre Dame, Ind., spent the Thanksgiving holiday and weekend in the Walter Carey home here. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Dec. 7, 1961) At the regular meeting on Monday night, the city council was visited by a delegation of doctors and dentists who asked the council to seriously con­ sider steps toward fluoridation of the city water supply. 1 The Viscounts Drum and Bugle corps received the famous Cleveland trophy this past week from national headquarters and it will be on display at the American Legion home. The entire community was shocked Wednesday morning, Dec. 6, to learn of the death of Thomas P. Bolger, who died in Memorial hospital, Woodstock. Mr. Bolger came to McHenry from Woodstock in the twenties and purchased from Nick Petesch the drug store on Green street which bears his name. Miss Terry Lee Cope of Wonder Lake became the pretty bride of Mr. Austria Polis of Woojle^ock in a ceremony solQimiized at Grace Lutheran church, Dec. 2, Rev. R. Hooker officated at the pretty early winter rite. Ronald M. Smith, former Northern Illinois University student, was among the nineteen students invited to an honor roll dinner at the school Dec. 5. Smith lives on North Spring Grove road, McHenry. He is a graduate of McHenry community high school. Mrs. Mary Buch ac­ companied by her sister-in-law, Mrs. Kathryn Behlke, returned recently from a trip by plane to Dallas, Texas, where they visited in the home of their brother-in-law and brother, Joseph Buch. While there they helped Mr. and Mrs. Buch celebrate their silver wedding anniversary.

And this, says the Illinois- State Bar association, can be cleared up easily. Simply put, the I.S.B.A. says, an executor is the financial manager and decision-maker of the estate of the decedent. One area of confusion lies in the difference between an administrator and an executor under a will. Their roles are virtually identical, the sole difference being the fact that an executor is named by the person making the will, while an administrator is named by the court when a person dies without having written a will, or without naming an executor, or the named executor cannot act. Ordinarily an executor receives a fee for serving, although this can be waived. In some situations it may be beneficial to waive the fees when the executor is a beneficiary of the estate -because the executor's fees are considered ordinary income and subject to federal income tax, while inheritance is not subject to federal income tax. The attorney may also suggest at the time the will is being prepared waiving the requirement that the executor be bonded. Bonding is necessary in many cases, but generally not when the sole beneficiary is named as executor. In that case, says the I.S.B.A., it's merely an ad­ ditional expense. The I.S.B.A. also recom­ mends that contingent executors be named in the event that the first named executor should die or be unable to act before the estate is settled. This would provide, an orderly transition without having to go into court to ask that an administrator be named. Of course, a person named as executor is not obligated to serve in that capacity, so it is a good idea to be sure to have the permission of the proposed executor before adding his name to the will. Banks also serve as executors in some cases, although banks may not be desirable when there is a small estate. „ Thus, knowing what the executor of a will is -- and some of the finer points in naming a person to serve in that capacity-can smooth the transition period in settling an estate and it can save money in the long run.
