Some of our new recruits are Randy Lamb, Frank Linder, Tom Linder and Tom Lavin. If anyone is interested in joining, please call Mike Berlin at 653-9728. We hope that all of the people of Wonder Lake will give us your full support. Submitted by Mike Berlin SPL GREETINGS Happy Birthday to Joan Scheib on Sept. 23 and a happy fourteenth anniversary to the Scheibs, Ken and Joan, on Sept. 24. CREW CUT? It's not so much that last birthday or another grey hair that makes you feel your age - but it's when you're giving your son that much needed, much delayed haircut that he "No Way" wants and finally in desperation you tell him to sit still or you'll give him a crew cut and he looks up at you wide eyed and questions, "Mom, what's a crew cut?"

Sept. 21 -10 A.M. to 5 P.M. approval of the six Republican and the two Democratic Members attending. Four Democrats were absent. Abolition of elected township assessors ran into some opposition, but the majority seemed to favor letting appointed county supervisors of assessment downstate take over the job of making initial property tax assessments. A compromise suggestion of State Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr. (R- Crystal Lake) whereby local voters could choose between an elective system of qualified and well financed area assessors was listed as an alternative. General agreement seemed to be reached that there are four necessities of any good assessing system: qualified personnel; adequate salaries and other resources; assessment jurisdictions of sufficient size, and a way to get rid of unqualified or poorly performing assessors. Maurice Scott of the Taxpayers Federation of Illinois said he thought the old State Property Tax commission had done a better job than had either of its successor agencies -- the Departments of Revenue and Local Government Affairs. He noted that an independent board with members having six - year terms would provide "more of a buffer" than the present system. The staff suggestion was for ten - year terms, so that only a three - term governor could gain control of the board. Senators present thought such a board would not be "accountable" enough. In other action, the c o m m i t t e e a u t h o r i z e d Chairman Terrel Clarke to send a letter to DLGA Director Frank Kirk requesting the issuance of assessing guidelines mandated for 1974 (this year's work) and 1975 that have not yet been issued. Committee member Skinner sent a similar letter to DLGA Director Frank Kirk Aug. 22, but has received no reply yet. Clarke said he would hand carry the letter to Kirk. Present at the meeting were Senators Clarke, Harber Hall, John Nimrod and Kenneth Course and Representatives Paul Randolph, Richard Walsh, James Holloway and Skinner.
