"I believe in orderly growth and will continue to work on our drainage and road problems and will work for as rapid development as possible of the newly acquired park site abutting Lakeland Park. "I believe there are capable, hard working public servants now in our city government and I believe I can work with them to provide those services that are needed to make McHenry a nice place to live, work and play."

IDEAS FOR MEETING PROBLEMS "By establishing a quarterly newsletter, I propose to keep the people informed on what's happening in their community.

IDEAS FOR MEETING PROBLEMS "Sufficient expediency can be achieved by a dedicated, full time president who has the necessary time to help consolidate vital data for the board of trustees.

IDEAS FOR MEETING PROBLEMS "To improve the Police department I propose the hiring of more police persons who have been well trained and well qualified for the job. In spite of the scarcity of funds, the acquisition of better paid, better qualified people should be feasible. I propose the implementation of community volunteers to improve the secondary major thoroughfares. However, I do not advocate that the community residents be unduly taxed for road improvements. Through a better supervision of the building and zoning codes, I believe that we can maintain a good community of quality homes.
