Pepping claimed that the raise was to keep her salary in line with other •employees, w ho all received raises. According to Pepping. Mrs Gilpin could not receive a raise tor her city clerk position because that salary is fixed Therefore, to keep her wages in accordance with her responsibilities, she was given a pay increase for her job as city collector. Pepping contended that Bolger mentioned the loss of fees during Finance committee discussions, but that the loss of fees wasn't the driving force behind Mrs Gilpin's, pay in­ crease. Bolger contended that it was Pepping himself who brought up the fact that Mrs. Gilpin lost income from the rechanneling of fees to the city treasury It was Bolger s contention that the Finance committee recommended the pay increase as partial reimbursement for the money she lost due to the change in policy, McHENRY AREA MOTORISTS FACE DRIVING OFFENSES (Continued from page 1) driveway of a home under construction on Palomino road The next afternoon Bique w as located and arrested for the various offenses, w ith his initial court appearance slated for April 18 At 9:15 a.m. Thursday, after stopping an auto for speeding on Ridge road in Wonder Lake, it was discovered that the driver.

REORGANIZATION PROPOSAL STUDIED (Continued from page 1) be further reduced to between twenty and thirty. Hall noted that in some areas where consolidation has taken place, larger school districts have had control to the con­ sternation of smaller schools, which also must pay their share. The county superintendent emphasized that nothing is definite at this point, but he added that if legislation puts the plan into effect, local school boards can expect to lose some control The legislation will not be passed this year. Hall said, but it is very possible it could be in 1978 He offered his opinion that some revisions are necessary and the board concurred. Members moved to have Supt. Richard Swantz draw up a resolution asking for further study on the proposal This will be sent to local legislators. In another area of concern, the board was updated by Supt. Swantz regarding the facility feasibility study being con­ ducted by the architectural firm of O'Donnell, W'icklund and Pigozzi. He showed members drawings of possible revisions which would allow for variations if continued use of East campus is felt to be most feasible. He also displayed drawings showing an addition to the south side of West campus large enough to bring the total number of students that can be accommodated in the entire building to 2.300.

Jerry Gudauskas. placement director, and Robert Swart- zloff. West campus principal, gave a brief report on the Placement Office program which has been in existence for the past two years. This state funded program has among its objectives, the placement of students and former students in the best possible job after high school graduation. Others are to acquaint the general student population with the importance of considering career decisions during high school, and also to implement pre-employment clinics for students entering the job market It was disclosed that from January of 1976 through March of this year. 301 part time jobs had been called in and 265 had been placed Also, 154 full time jobs were called in and ninety- four were placed. A total of 126 summer jobs were obtained The board expressed satisfaction with the program and a hope that it may be funded again next year. With the closing of school Jan. 28. it became necessary for the board to formally modify its 1976-77 calendar May 31 was set as an at­ tendance day to complete the state's legal calendar requirements. The board accepted, with regret, the resignation of East Campus Principal Gary Fields, who will be teaching in Woodstock next year An ex­ pression of thanks was given for his many contributions to District 156. Mrs. Terese Van Wie. a parent, appeared before the board to express her opinion that the district should find some solution to the class cutting procedure other than sending a student home for the oflense. She stated that in the case of working parents this allows the young person more time to associate with his peers without supervision. The school policy of handling the situation within the school for the first five offenses was explained to Mrs. Van Wie. Althoff assured her con­ sideration would be given to her suggestion, but he said he could not say policy change would be made. TOP HONORS IN STATE FBLA (Continued from page 1) seventh; Dianne Smith.

PRESENTCANTATA The Easter musical cantata, "Hallelujah! What A Savior! by John W. Peterson, will be presented this Sunday evening ti L\ Tom Low, president of the McHenry Chamber of Commerce, asks the aldermen if the city would lake the responsibility for putting up Christmas decorations. Hiring someone to put up and take down the decorations is the second largest expense the Chamber has during the year. They are willing to donate the decorations to the city, as long as the city is responsible for putting them up. The Council Public Property committee will meet with Low at a later date to investigate the matter further. STAFF PHOTO--JEFF BONATO DEBATE CITY LOUNGE CASE (Continued from page 1) session and get some answers," Alderman William Bolger said. Smith and Bolger are in­ terested in what action Stanek, as Liquor commissioner, will take concerning the city's ef­ forts to close the tavern. Simply stated, some of the aldermen want to know what Stanek is going to do before he does it. The Council did not go into executive session Monday night, and it is not known if the topic will be discussed at the next meeting. April 18. "We must begin to find out what this (taking Richard Jager through the courts) is going to cost the city," Bolger added. Smith. Bolger and Stanek then took part in a lively ex­ change concerning the exact dollar amount which the city has spent in its efforts-!*) close the tavern. v. The aldermen have been given information concerning legal fees, but haven't received any information concerning other costs, such as tran­ sporting witnesses to Chicago for a hearing After further discussion. Police Chief Ken Espey promised Smith that he would supply the aldermen with the expenses which the police department have incurred since the efforts to close the tavern began. The controversy began when Stanek. in his role as liquor commissioner, decided not to renew Jager's liquor license beginning May, 1976. Before rendering his decision Stanek asked the Council to make the decision, but they chose not to declare themselves one way or the other. Stanek then ordered the liquor license not to be renewed, and the matter has been bouncing around in the courts and public hearings ever since. Presently, the tavern is open due to a temporary restraining order issued by a judge in Cook county. The matter will be heard in court on April 26. Thus far, Stanek's decision has been upheld by the Illinois State liquor commission, and Jager has since taken the decision to the courts. B o l g e r r e c o m m e n d s discussing the matter in executive session (not open to the public ) because he fears the city would be tipping its hand on any further action if it is announced publicly. That is where the matter stands now, with further by the senior choir at the Wonder Lake Bible church at 6 p.m. The public is invited to share the message and joy of Christ. discussion expected at the next Council meeting. In other Council action, the aldermen have agreed to listen to a presentation from mem­ bers of the Northern Illinois Planning commission (NIPC) which focuses on a regional wastewater treatment facility for McHenry, McCullom Lake, and McHenry Shores. The Council has already gone 011 record as being against the proposal. However, the city w ill listen to the proposal and will be able to ask questions of the NIPC officials. The regional treatment plant would include * McHenry allowing McCullom Lake to send its sewege into the McHenry plant, while McHenry Shores would receive its own interim facility. As the McHenry plant, with the addition of McCullom Lake sewage, fills to capacity, it would be expanded, with the assistance of federal and state funds, as would the McHenry Shores plant. However, there is no guarantee that any funding would be available. But, if McHenry refuses to cooperate. it would not be eligible for any funding, should any be available. The meeting with NIPC will be held after the April 19 city elections because, as Stanek noted, "there is the possibility of five new\aldermen." In other action, the Council voted unanimously to deny The Unification church opportunity to solicit for contributions door- to-door in McHenry. The Council has decided it will challenge whether or not The Unification church is a b o n a f i d e r e l i g i o u s organization. This, like the Jake's Lounge matter, could wind up in a lengthy court battle as the city attempts to set the precedent, and challenge the validity of the organization. The Unification church has no members in the city of McHenry, no money collected is returned to the city, and the group turns over only 7 percent of its collections to charity. Tom Low, representing the McHenry Chamber of Com­ merce, appeared before the Council with a variety of requests. The chamber wants to turn over the Christmas decorations to the city, with the provision that the city assume the responsibility of putting them up and taking them down. The decorations are worth $10,000, and would be given to the city at no charge. The Chamber wants to free itself of the responsibility because of the high cost of hiring someone to put the decorations up each year The matter will be turned over to the Public Property committee for further discussion.

The City Council also ac­ cepted the low bid of George P. Freund Incorporated, and will purchase an air compressor for roughly $7,000. Finally, an ordinance was passed which will allow the McHenry hospital to close off one end of Waukegan street to increase the hospital parking lot. The hospital has purchased all property which is accessible from the street, and the Council gave them the go-ahead to close off the street east of the McHenry high school East campus parking lot STEAL $1,700 IN EQUIPMENT AT HUSTLER'S (Continued from page 1) Stolen were three boat engines, a 4-horsepower, a 6- horsepower, and a 10- horsepower engine.
