MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) On paper this looks good. In reality, state officials say the plan breaks down when people find they're not good salesmen and can't sell their packets, and when someone decides to put his own name in a high position , on a list or simply discards a list and makes up a new one using the names of ten con­ federates. Consumer protection officials tell us it's the same as the old chain letters. A lot of people get hurt with the $75 loss, and very few poeple may receive a substantial amount of money. The fun stops when hard feelings develop as relatives and friends discover they've brought each other into a flim­ flam. These schemes come along regularly every fifteen years or so, and none of them ever works as advertised, officials say. The scheme is illegal because it misrepresents the likelihood of a great return of money, the probelms selling packets when an area is over worked, and the likelihood of the "chain" being broken. Not only state, but federal authorities are also monitoring the situation since the mails are being used as the means of transmitting the bonds. Sorry, friends, but you'll have to find another easy way to make a fortune! K.A.F DEBATE WATER, SEWERAGE CIF /ASSESSMENT (Continued from page 1) not have to pay a capital im­ provement fee now While lengthy discussion was taking place on the problem, Alderman Datz cautioned that if too many conditions or exemggions were placed on the CIF, it would take two or three years to get the program going. "It has to be effective yesterday if we want to get going," he warned While Smith was arguing his position in opposition to the proposed motion, Mrs. Hromec held her hand up to be recognized by the Mayor. When she was told she could speak after Smith was through, Smith said he would allow her to speak "if what she has to say is * so important," provided he could resume his presentation when she was through. AT that point, Mrs Hromec said she appreciated Smith's opinion but "since we have all heard it several times before," she asked that an immediate vote be taken on the proposition. Other aldermen Ihen presented their views while Mrs Hromec kept repealing, "lake a vote on it." When Mayor Stanek prepared to do so. Smith in­ terrupted and said, "What kind of a Council have we got here?" He objected to the fact that he had never been allowed to4 resume his discussion which was interrupted by Mrs. Hromec's remarks Referring to Mrs. Hromec's repeated remarks to vote on the matter Smith said, "Maybe that's what it takes to be recognized around here, you have to yell and scream. I guess that's the way to do it," he remarked heatedly. Alter the meeting, Smith commented that the wording of the motion that passed was so ridiculous that if the whole village of McCullom Lake was annexed into the city, no capital imnrovemnt fee could be colrected because the motion specified "all new con­ struction". In other business, the Council has been working for many months on recodification of city ordinances in order to update them and put them into a permanent form. Lengthy meetings and much discussion have gone into revising and reviewing all the ordinances. Final changes were made Monday night. A new residential con­ struction permit fee schedule was adopted which showed I»AGE 15 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, JULY It, l»7f increases in some categories. I he sanitary sewer con­ nection fee for hotels and motels was set at $l(M) per rental unit. For nursing homes, retirement homes and hospitals, the new rate is $100 per each bed. Charges for non-residential sewer users who do not use water supplied by the city such as the Lakeland Park area were also revised. Laun­ dromats not using city water shall pay a monthly sewerage use rate equivalent to 50 per­ cent of the rate charged to city water users for a comparable amount of water metered to the laundromat The charge is $4 per month for- non-residential sewer users not using water supplied by the city as a major part of their business operation. Non­ residential sewer users not using water supplied by the city but using water as a major part of their business operation (car washes, restaurants, laundries, schools, beauty parlors with three or more Chairs, hotels, motels, etc.) will* pay $8 per month. All ordinance changes will be published in the Plaindealer prior to going into effect. Mrs. Hromec questioned whether the city wanted to take such strong action on delinquent sewer assessment payments in the Lakeland Park special assessment area. She said people "in her ward had contacted her about letters they had received indicating if the delinquent assessments were not paid, their homes would be subject to foreclosure. She said she didn't condone delinquent payments but wondered "if that was really the Council's intention." Attorney Narusis explained that it was a policy decision made by the Council to send the letter which he had drafted. "The notice embodies a strong remedy for pursuit of delinquent special assessment properties," Narusis ex­ plained He noted that if the city pursued the matter, a list of ail the delinquent special assessment properties as of a certain date would be sent to County Treasurer Audrey Walgenbach. She would in­ corporate those properties into her delinquent tax payer's list and they would be sold for taxes Mrs Hromec said she had spoken to Special Assessment Collector Thomas Bolger and he reported the rate of pay on the delinquent payments was very good "There aren't that many delinquent now," she reported Mayor Stanek commented that it sometimes takes htfsh methods to get results. An ordinance making the annual appropriation for the fiscal year beginning May I, 1976 and ending April 30, 1977, was passed in the amount of $2,672,770 That money is ap­ propriated to provide for the general tax levy and other revenue for the present fiscal year An appropriation is not a budget, Narusis explained. However, no money can be spent from city funds unless it is appropriated in the annual ordinance. Money was appropriated as follows: Public Property - $196,500; Police department - $551,400; Salaries of City Of­ ficials - $85,280; Streets and Alleys - $368,500; Off Street Parking - $124,000; Library - $138,900; Administrative - $64,600; Parking Meters - $15,1(M); Board of Fire and Police Commissioners - $3,140, Revenue Sharing - $298,000; lA'gal Fees and Court Costs - $19,(MM); Police Pension Fund - $35,000; Water and Sewer System - $720,600 and Miscellaneous - $52,750.
