Cite Drivers Following Holiday Week Crashes PROTEST CITY ASSESSMENT (Continued from page 1) to institute a special assessment program. Perhaps the biggest stir was caused when word spread that several residential lot owners were assessed lower than others. The Council noted that the assessment roll did not bear out this report. A further ex­ planation was given, explaining that only one lot had been assessed lower. This was a rear lot with a 30 foot easement leading from the highway. Attention had been called to the engineers and correction made. The city attorney assured one questioner that notices would be sent to those persons having filed proper objections as to the date of the next hearing. In the meantime, an informal meeting will be arranged to answer questions. As the meeting moved on to other business, the Council gave evidence that any inequities would be given serious con­ sideration. The zoning petition to change eleven lots on the south side of Rte. 120 west from residential to commercial was again tabled. A joint meeting of the Plan commission and the City Council will be held next Tuesday to discuss height regulations and a proposed additional classification at specified locations. The Layne-Western Co. completed test holes for a new water well in the park area near Whispering Oaks, but did not find sufficient water to meet the needs of the city. The Council approved the com­ pany's proposal for a new test westerly from the site tested. An application from Philip F. Grande for transfer of alcoholic beverage license at the Sport­ sman's Inn location, owned by Reii\hold J. Genz, was held, pending reference reply. . Approval was given to the request of the McHenry Kiwanis club for its annual Peanut Day Sale Friday, Sept. 22. Approval was also given to the McHenry Lions club to hold the annual Candy Day Oct. 7. FORTY AREA RESIDENTS SEEK RULING OF COURT (Continued frswn page 1) numerous occasions to obtain the minutes of the April 19 meeting of the Board of Local Improvements. They were unable to get a copy of the minutes from City Attorney Looze's office or from Mayor Donald Doherty They sought this information so that the minutes could be reviewed by legal counsel for discrepencies. When Judge Carroll asked Attorney Looze if he felt the continuance was justified, Looze replied, "We've been at this since 1969." Judge Carroll then overruled the continuance request and signed the court order. - In answer to the judge's question, Looze reported that there are over 1,200 pieces of property involved in this sanitary sewer assessment ~ proceeding and it is impossible to make everyone happy with . the assessments. Judge Carroll agreed, stating that in such cases, what is best for the majority must be considered first. Looze said that to his knowledge, only five or six objections had been filed. When objectors tried to make their grievances heard, Judge Carroll very sternly reminded them that he was running the court and would not allow any arguments to take place there. Looze informed objectors that there were only two ways to file objections to the proposed assessments: 1 - Object to the Legal Sufficiency of the proceedings itself, and 2 ^ In­ dividual property owners could object that the assessment as shown was out or proportion or that their property would not benefit to the extent of that assessment. Attorney Michael Caldwell was also present in court to file his appearance in regard to the amount of assessments on certain lots. It is now up to the objectors to determine if they want a jury trial.
