MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from Page 1) editorials- and on television on a different program. These thoughts came to us last week when feelings were running high concerning the Old Bridge project. At least two stories over the past year and a half concerned happenings at county and city meetings as they pertained to the bridge. They were reported with only the facts presented. Any feature story on the sub­ ject would correctly have needed to present a detailed story with all factors con­ sidered. But when a writer decides to express personal comment on this --or any other issue-it belongs in a column such as the one now being read. These columns give only one person's opinion, and the writer should always welcome comment, either favorable or in rebuttal. It is our feeling that a lack of understanding of this dif­ ference in reporting had much to do with a misunderstanding that grew far out of proportion. K.A.F. State Rules On Septic Sludge The McHenry County Department of Health and the McHenry County Health and Agriculture committee have recently received information from the Illinois En­ vironmental Protection agency and tiie Illinois Department of Public Health informing them that it is not necessary to obtain a permit from the Illinois Environmental Protection agency to apply septic sludge to farm land The provision, of course, is that it is applied without creating a nuisance, - without causing water pollution or health problems, where root crops for human consumption will not be grown and spreading it on the land at accepted agronomic rates. . The procedure is true for septic tank sludge haulers licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health. All persons in the business of hauling septic tank sludge are required by the State of Illinois Department of Public Health to become licensed. It is hoped that the in­ formation will resolve any question relating to the legality and appropriateness of the disposition of septic sludge. MERIT GROUP STUDIES FEST TESTIMONY (Continued from Page 1) justified in his actions since it appeared he was having dif­ ficulty taking Hellios into custody. Cpmmand officers at the scene related that about 600 persons had been in attendance during the Johnsburg event and about 8:30 p.m.. after the food and refreshment stands closed, several separate fights broke out. rocks were being thrown at squad cars and some in­ toxicated bystanders were becoming unruly. Fearing trouble, police or­ dered the people to leave the area. Because of the tense situation, neighboring police department* were asked to send assistance. Bognar contended he was conforming to the sheriff department's policy which justifies an officer using force he believes reasonably necessary to effect an arrest However the sheriff's complaint charged that undue force was used by Bognar in making the arrest. When the Merit commission makes its decision known, the five-month ̂ old case should be closed.
