He pursued the vehicle in his auto but lost it on Lily Lake road An outboard motor was stolen from the boat of Richard Tomlinson at 316 W. Ringwood road, McHenry, sometime last Thursday morning. The white Elgin 25 horsepower outboard motor was taken from the boat while it was parked next to his garage Peter Varasich of 1805 Oakleaf, Sunnyside, reported that a battery was taken from his auto while it was parked in front of his residence last Wednesday night. A battery was taken from a vehicle owned by James W. Dowell of 4312 W. Lakewood, McHenry, Thursday night * while it was parked at McHenry city hall. The theft took place between 8 and 10 p.m. Offenders sprung the hood to remove the battery. Last Thursday afternoon, deputies investigated the report of an abandoned auto along Lincoln road, east of Chapel Hill road, east of McHenry. The vehicle had been rolled over, glass broken, engine parts removed, etc. Investigation revealed the auto belonged to Howard Wright of Carpentersville who had reported the vehicle stolen to Carpentersville police. A CB radio and other personal items had been removed from the stolen vehicle. A large outdoor electric sign at Gem Cleaners, 3004 W. Route 120. McHenry, was shattered one recent night. It appeared rocks were used. Karl Blom of Orchard drive, McHenry, informed county police the windshield of his car was smashed and the roof dented sometime Monday night. His auto failed to operate and he parked it along the roadway on Route 31, south of McCullom Lake road, north of McHenry When he returned to the vehicle Tuesday morning, he discovered it had been vandalized. County police were called to investigate vandalism which occurred to school buses at Ross Bus Sales, 1901 W. Route 120, McHenry, Sunday morning about 2:15. Windows were broken in several buses parked on the premises. Guy Thompson of Garden Prairie, left his auto on Route 120 near Martin road, west of McHenry, Saturday after midnight when it ran out of gas. He walked to McHenry for assistance and when he returned, found the windows, taillights, mirror and other parts of the vehicle had been smashed by use of a blunt in­ strument. *1,758,548 FUNDING BOND SALE SCHEDULED (Continued from page 1) the new policy affects only full time, twelve-month employees. A parent was present to ask why insurance waivers should be changed as they were in recent action of the board. He told them he had full coverage better than that of the school district, yet he was being asked to pay $45 additional for his three children participating in football Supt Richard Swantz noted that football causes most of the school accidents He observed that on numerous occasions parents have told the school they had full coverage, but after an injury, when the personal policy failed to cover the cost, these same parents asked the school to assume the cost With the anticipation of a smaller high school in the future, it was estiamteed the rate could go as high as $45 to $50. Swantz and board mem­ bers said they would like to get out of the insurance business. To the parent's comment that he thought the assessment to him was unfair, Althoff noted he. too. carries insurance on his family. He added that he hoped the matter may be resolved next year. Mrs. Catherine Alvary, board representative on SEDOM (Special Education district) reported that the cost per student will be cut by $.25 This represents less than 10 percent of last year's cost. FOR PARK (Continued from page 1) Township Road district or $113,305. Each of the participating agencies must submit a resolution to the County board before Sept 21, stating it concurs in the awarding of the contract to Ziegler. A motion to pass the resolution passed unanimously. Police Chief Kenneth Espey was asked to submit an itemized list of the overtime hours his officers put in during the Fiesta day activities. He presented the list which showed 1011 - hours overtime amounting to $713.83 figured on straight time wages. Pepping pointed out that Lt Robert Kranz, who had ten hours overtime listed, was not eligible for overtime pay ac­ cording to an ordinance which states that the superintendent of public works, chief of police and the Lieutenant of police cannot draw overtime pay. They can take time off to compensate. "If it is appropriate to pay the lieutneant, then the chief and Meyer should also be paid," Pepping argued. Datz agreed that it would be setting a dangerous precedent to go against the wage or­ dinance. Harker and Smith debated in favor of paying the lieutenant but after Narusis pointed out that it would be very difficult to avoid following the wage or­ dinance without repealing it, they changed their minds reluctantly. The vote was unanimous to pay all the of­ ficers except Lt. Kranz. When Stanek read the names of officers to receive overtime pay, he said he was pleased to see that "everyone of our of­ ficers was represented." "It is a healthy sign," he commented. "They actually volunteered and had no un­ derstanding that they would be paid," Stanek said. George Cole of 3805 W. Millstream drive, was ap­ pointed to fill an unexpired term on the Plan commission. There are two openings on the commission. The Council unanimously approved his appointment. A recapture agreement was signed with Brittany Builders in connection with extending the city water line to its sub­ division on Ringwood road. Brittany agrees to pay for the total cost of the roject, $75,000. Two other developers, Lancer Corporation of Pheasant Valley subdivision and Kaufmann, owner of the Glosson property, had previously verbally agreed to share in the cost of extending the water line past their properties. They agreed to contribute thirty-three and one- third percent of the total cost but no more than $25,000. In the recapture agreement, the city agrees to collect the money for Brittany from the other two developers when they begin construction. Similar agreements have been negotiated with other firms in the past, Stanek announced. The vote to sign the agreement with Brittany passed on a 6 to 1 margin. Alderman Schaedel cast the negative vote. Narusis read an irrevocable letter of credit for Brittany Builders from the McHenry State Bank. Credit amount was listed at $300,000 and the letter authorizes the city to go in and complete improvements in Brittany Park subdivision, Ringwood road, should the developer fail to do so. The letter is good for one year, expiring Sept. 3, 1977, Narusis said. A companion letter from Brittany Builders indicated it intends to complete the work on the subdivision by Jan. 15,1977. Unanimous approval was given to paying monthly bills in the amount of $30,497.54. The money will come from the following accounts: General fund, $16,259.06; Water and Sewer fund, $8,779.65; Library fund, $4,882.41; Motor Fuel Tax fund, $531.42 and Revenue Sharing fund, $45. Regarding the Sorensen Lane-Anne street connection, Meyer was instructed to con tact a land surveyor and have the necessary legal documents drawn up so work on the project can take place in the near future In other road work, Harker related that repairs will begin on Virginia avenue, Country Club subdivision, which was just recently annexed to the city. No major repairs will be done this year but the road will be put in a driveable condition, Harker said. He also announced that Richard Smith of 3304 Golfview drive, had been employed as a crossing guard at the corner of Fairway drive and Green street Mayor Stanek read a letter from Rose Lillegard, president of McHenry Shores, in which she announced the village was "opting out" of participation in the regional communication system for the McHenry area at this time. Since the proportionate costs would not be known until a future date, she said the village could not commit Us tax dollars to an unknown expedilure. It was announced thai James Althoff liad withdrawn his request for a building permit to erect a structure on Main street. The Council was planning to make'a decision on what the Capital Improvement fee should be for this type structure. No decision was made due to the permit with­ drawal. Job's Daugheers were given permission to sell popcorn Sept. 10 through 12. . The Council agreed to grant a Class "H" beer and wine liquor license to Richard Smith of King Enterprises. Inc., Palatine, pending construction of his building and proper clearance by the police department. Smith informed aldermen he intended to erect a short order restaurant serving hot dogs, beef, Italian sausage, etc., on Route 120 west of the Citgo Service station. Sale of the property is contingent on ob taining a liquor license. Smith reported. He has operated a similar business operation in Palatine which has proved very successful, he said. The Mayor and some aldermen expressed concern about over saturation of eating places on Route 120. However, others felt he should be given a chance. An ordinance was passed authorizing new water and sewer connection fees and another establishing sewer system rates. A sewer connection fee for single family residences was listed at $250; for multiple residential structures, $250 for each unit; commercial and industrial structures, $300; motels and hotels, $100 per each rental unit; nursing homes, retirement homes and hospitals, $100 per each bed. Water connection fees are based on the size of the water line. For inch diameter or less, the fee is $150 which in­ cludes the charge for water meter. For 1 inch diameter and up, feeds do not include the water meter charge, as follows: 1 inch diameter, $300; 114 inch, $500; 1' l> inch, $600; l ; !4 inch, $700; and 2 inch, $800. The complete schedule rate can be found on page 13 of this issue under legal notices. Sewer rates will also be in­ creased to $3 per month for residential users. Non-residential users will be charged different rates ac­ cording to these classi­ fications: those not using city water as a major part ot their business operation. $4 per month; those not using city water but using another water supply as a major part of their business operation, $8 per month; laundromats not using city water will pay a monthly sewerage use rate equivalent to 50 percent of the rate charge made to laundromats using city water ; all other non-residential users will pay a sewerage use charge equal to 50 percent of their city water bill provided that the minimum monthly Hot Air Balloon Saufen Und Spiel Special Attraction The Johnsburg Community club's annual Saufen Und Spiel Fest will be flying high with a hot air balloon which will be tethered and available for everyone to see.
