CITY TOPICS "Dear Editor, "As a McHenry area resident, I have been concerned lately with the demise of the old bridge. Several weeks ago I read where city, township, and county officials were going to tear her down. I attended a meeting where these officials had gathered to explain their actions. "Quite frankly, I was satisfied with their ex­ planation. I know the traffic problem in McHenry and when annual street sale will be held Saturday, March 27. Scouts will have cookie stations set up inside McHenry's financial institutions. Mrs. Barbara Williams, cookie chairman for Valley View neighborhood, reports that 11,480 boxes of cookies have been sold throughout the area. Proceeds from the sale of cookies will help to renovate the Girl Scout camping area at Shabbona Hills, near Wood­ stock. Individual troops also benefit by sales, to be used at their own discretion on troop activities. Mrs. Williams and all the scouts acknowledge that the success of the cookie sale is due to the support of the McHenry area citizens. they presented their findings I felt they were justified in Cheir actions, "Judging by your Musin' and Meanderin' columns and by all the letters you have printed concerning the old bridge, it's obvious you, too, are concerned with this issue. Yet you did not attend that meeting. Why not? "Just the other day I was walking by a news stand and saw a headline that read, 'Aldermen Criticize Mayor's Action,' That caught my at­ tention and so I picked up the paper and started reading. Needless to say, it aroused my interest so I bought it. Ob­ viously the mayor came under sharp criticism for the firing of the city auditor. It sounds as if the high point of the meeting was the aldermen's attack on the mayor's actions. "I was there and this is not so. Mayor Stanek's explanation of his action was the high point. I sat there in stunned silence as the mayor told us about thousands of dollars in non- interest bearing accounts since 1961. And another non-interest bearing account started in 1956! He then read a letter from the comptroller's office stating the city was in violation of the law and that our revenue sharing was in jeopardy. "We then heard about $60,000 in the payroll account. Why not put most of that in an interest bearing account and with- it when needed? A letter from Lester Witte and Assoc. in­ formed us that there is no entry in the ledger from May of 1975 to date! "The mayor told us there was a $200,000 deficit, that the city was in bad financial troubles and a month later he was told the city would make it. He told us he was given no explanation as to why this took place. "The mayor was well in­ formed, his evidence was well documented and it seems to me that there is more than enough mered out and formed by hand.

Scout Cookies Arrive McHenry area residents will be happy to know that Girl Scout cookies have arrived and have been distributed to all Scouts in the Valley View neighborhood.

For those who were unable to order cookies in advance, the McHenry County college's ornamental horticulture exhibit at the Chicago flower and Garden show has won the Massachusetts Horticulture Society Silver medal.' The medal was presented to MCC for the garden or exhibit done by an amateur group that , stimulates interest in the use of plants and provides the most useful information to the general public.

The students also answer any questions visitors may have on landscaping. McHenry County college invites all residents in the district to attend the show at McCormick Place and visit its award winning display. reason to fire the auditor. As for the criticisms he recieved, they had nowhere near the impact or the significance that your paper gives them. Come now, Plaindealer, as Mr. Walsh himself said, '...fairness never hurt anyone.' Let's present the facts as they really are, not as you'd like them to be. "Sincerely yours, "Charles Samuels" (Editor's note: Regarding bridge meeting, a Plaindealer representative was in at­ tendance and reported proceedings in full.
