SECOND SQUAD VOTE CONFIRMS FIRST DECISION (Continued From Page 1) this service for the city during the two previous years. Alderman Pepping, who is in charge of mosquito abatement, noted that the company had provided very satisfactory service and had done a superior job in identifying mosquito breeding areas. Pepping related that last year, another mosquito abatement vendor, Robert Himmel of Midas, had gone to the State of Illinois Department of Agriculture questioning Clark's methods of operation. Himmel contended that Clark had identified 160 acres of . mosquito breeding area in its proposal to the city and Him­ mel had listed only 50 acres. He charged that Clark was treating ground that didn't have to be treated and was overcharging the city. He also disagreed with Clark's concept of pre-treating the ground identified as mosquito breeding area. Pepping related that Department of Agriculture representatives came out and conducted an investigation this past summer. "They looked things over and they told me they could find absolutely no basis for Himmel's charges and it appeared the city was being properly surveyed for areas that were being treated for mosquito abatement," Pepping said. A new service will be in­ troduced this year, according to Gary Sindelar, a representative of Clark who was at the meeting. A telephone hot line will be set up with Clark's office so city residents can call the company direct if they have any complaints. They will be examined and the area re-sprayed within forty- eight hours if a complaint is found valid. Pepping noted that Clark offered the 1975 contract at the same price it offered the 1974 contract and the new city park will be included in the spraying area. Earl Walsh also com­ mented that in the two previous years, Clark has only charged for what it actually sprayed, which was about $800 less than the contract price each year. In other Council action, by a vote of 6 to 2, an ordinance was passed to raise city water and sewer rates. Aldermen Howard and Pepping were opposed because they felt some sections of the ordinance needed further clarification and work. Approval was given to enter into an option to purchase property for a parking lot from Max Wein and Morris Nortman at a price of $1.70 per square foot for 33,000 square feet of land. The site is located to the west of McHenry Savings and Loan and Gladstone's, Inc. The city has until May 20, 1975, to exercise the option and close the deal. Completion of the deal is based upon the city's ability to procure a perpetual easement for ingress and egress to Green street from the premises in question. Consumation of the deal is also based on the seller's ability to obtain a B-l zoning and approval to build a 28,000 square foot building containing two stories on his property which adjoins the parking lot property. On a roll call vote to approve the option, Alderman Hromec cast the only no vote. Bob Freund addressed the Council in behalf of the VFW. He informed aldermen that although there had been some talk about selling the VFW grounds, nothing has been done except to get appraisals on the property "Therefore, we will have diamonds available for Little league and Pony league play this year," he said. Freund also wanted to clarify a statement made by Little League representatives at a recent Council meeting. They indicated they would have lights to donate for a city baseball field. "That is not a true statement," Freund said. "The only way they would have lights to donate would be if the VFW were to move. If the VFW stays, the lights stay," he stressed. But if they move and we stay, what is there has to stay there, he pointed out. He expressed the opinion that the VFW is the hub of sports activity all summer with a softball diamond for teen-agers and men and Little League and Pony League diamonds for younger children. The Council decided to donate $1,000 to the VFW for use of the property since the city does not have comparable facilities to accommodate these groups of people. This is the same amount the Council contributed last year. Earl Walsh announced that he had been informed it would cost approximately $4,230 to conduct a census for the city of McHenry. The cost was based on an estimated population of 8,500. Of that cost, $2,470 would be paid directly to the Illinois Bureau of Census and the rest would be paid to local persons who work on the census. Ap­ proval was given to make payment for the special census. Mayor Stanek read a letter from the Lakeland Park Property Owners association (LPPOA) which stated that on March 6, by a vote of 7 to 0, its board of directors were "against the city of McHenry or any park district acquiring any portion of McCullom Lake frontage." Reasons listed were ^s follows : "1-We pay taxes' on approximately 70 percent of the lake area; 2-We are, and have been, a major financial con­ tributor to the stocking programs, cleaning and maintenance of McCullom Lake; 3-The entire shoreline of McCullom Lake is privately owned; 4-McCullom Lake is, in our belief, the cleanest lake in the area and we wish to keep it that way." The letter states it was authorized to be written by the entire board of directors of the LLPOA. It was signed by Lloyd E. Wagner, vice-president, and chairmen of all committees. The letter indicated a copy had also been sent to H.H. Mass of McCullom Lake, owner of the property in question. Donald Gerstad and Mike Riordan of Robino-Ladd presented a plat for approval of an addition to Boone Valley Unit 7. It requests that four additional lots be included in that unit so that model homes could be built on them for merchandising purposes. The land in question is located near two model homes already constructed on Kensington drive, to the south of the high school off Crystal Lake blacktop. No occupancy per­ mits would have to be issued by the city since the homes would be used for merchandising purposes only, Gerstad assured the Council. During discussion on the plat Alderman Hromec asked Gerstad if Robino-Ladd had filed bankruptcy. Gerstad replied that he knew there were many rumors circulating, "but we are still financially sound," he asserted. Alderman okayed the ten­ tative plat which will be presented for final approval at the next meeting. Alderman Harker remarked that in the four years he had been on the Council, it has operated in a rather easy-going fashion. Although it hasn't always remained close to parliamentary procedure, the Council accomplished much, he remarked. "However, now that we seem to be in an area where we have to abide by strict Roberts Rules of Orders, I move the city purchase twelve copies and distribute them to each alderman." He recommended purchase of hard cover copies at $7.50 each, less 10 percent. The books should remain the property of the city when aldermen's terms are up, he suggested. The Council agreed to buy the books. Approval was given to purchase a three-quarter ton pickup truck from Buss Ford for use at the sewer plant for $1,000. Stanek reported that an oversight had been made in spreading the rolls regarding the sewer assessment on two parcels of land in Lakeland Park amounting to about $138 for each parcel. The money should be paid back or credited somehow, Stanek contended. The Council agreed and the city attorney was instructed to work out the details for correcting the error and report back at the next meeting. Judges for the city election of aldermen on April 15 were announced for each of the four wards and approved by the Council. They are as follows: Ward 1; Marian Anderson, Evelyn Steinbach, Betty J. Smith, Rosalie Givens and Joan Freund; Ward 2, Frances Matchen, Corinne Rogers, Eileen Pictor, Marilyn Phalin and Helen B. Moran; Ward 3, Mary A. Freund, Laura E. Martin, Martha B. Freund, Helen Williams and Marian Rothermel; Ward 4, Jeanette Koerper, Nedra Eckhart, Betty Bockman, Judy Pedersen and Ray Rode. Approval was given to hold Poppy Day on May 17 and a tag day for the McHenry Youth league on July 5. Alderman Bolger related that the Library board was progressing with the beginning stages of expansion for the library. The board has hired Bill Ewald as architect for the project. Alderman Pepping an­ nounced that the next Police committee meeting will be held Monday evening, March 24 at 7:30 in the Council chambers. Mayor Stanek's first "ac­ countability night" will be held Tuesday, March 25 from 7:30 to 9:30 in the Council chambers. The next regular meeting of the Council is scheduled for Monday, March 31 at 8 p.m. in city hall. OFFER THREE HIGH SCHOOL PROPOSALS (Continued From Pago 1) The Committee of Ten met to consider the reports of the Feasibility committee and the recommendation to ask that the education service region superintendent call for a hearing on the petition to form a unit district. The Committee of Ten reviewed the terms of the petition along with the con­ struction costs. After careful consideration, the decision was made to propose asking for authorization by the voters to approve bonding for the projected construction through 1980. It is anticipated that the unit district would issue ap­ proximately $3,030,000 during that time. The proceeds from the sale of bonds along with funds from division of assets would be used for high school construction and elementary school additions as needed within this five-year period. The Committee of Ten acted favorably on the recom­ mendation to have the superintendent of the education service region call for a hearing on the petition. It is expected that the hearing will be held in April. The Committee of Ten and officers will meet within a week to edit the reports for final publication.

STRAY DOG PROBLEM NEARER TO SOLUTION (Continued From Page 1) communities in the United States the rash of dog bites could be called "an epidemic." He said in McHenry county, there were about 700 dog-bite cases last year, with some of them disfiguring. Dr. Johnson said before the county assumed responsibility in much of the area for stray dogs, there were about 1,000 strays a year to contend with. Now he estimates the total will approach 2,500 a year, a number beyond the capacity of veterinarians to cope with. Under the present procedure, the department has three people involved in the dog control problem and available on 24-hour-a-day call. Non-identified strays must be kept at least three days. Dogs that can be identified must be kept at least seven days and owners are notified if the dogs have tags on them. MpHenry county has full service rabies control agreements with Crystal Lake, Woodstock, McHenry, Union, Lakemoor and Huntley, and it will have a full service agreement with Lake-in-the-Hills, he said. The county patrols the area, enforces the local ordinance and receives the $4 feee under the full service agreement. It has partial rabies control agreements with Algonquin, Fox River Grove, McCullom Lake, McHenry Shores, Hebron and Lakewood. Harvard, Sunnyside and Richmond are studying the matter. \LER-FRID\Y.
