Located southeast of McHenry, on the shores of the Fox river, the new muncipality has a population estimated near 700. Village officials will be elected in the near future. The matter first came to pub he attention recently when residents of the McHenry Shores community expressed a desire to be annexed to the city cf McHenry. However, the Council found it necessary to deny the appeal because the property is not contiguous to the municipality. Nevertheless, because the area in question was within a mile of the city cf McHenry, it was necessary that the Council give approval to any in­ corporation. This it did through a letter advising that there was no objection to efforts on behalf cf McHenry Shores residents toward incorporation. iMff" SCIENCE NQWANDSC Tm F'UTUNC i--m/ MONTINI SCIENCE FAIR /JL PRIMARY-MIDDLE and JrtHIWi AT 3TPATRICKS HALL OPEN TO "THE PUBLIC THURS APRIL 10 100 -300 LjncV 7 OO"M-- 10 00".
