However, all persons con­ cerned seemed to feel that the problems could be worked out to the satisfaction of everyone. In discussion of the property, it was noted that city engineers and legal assistance would be required as the development progresses. The city has a new ordinance now which makes the developer pay the cost of using the city attorney or the city engineers. Previously, the city was paying the engineering and legal costs, while the developer reaped the benefits. Stanek pushed hard for the ordinance, which will save the city money. The other two proposals were less complicated, with Walters seeking annexation to the city with the required zoning. "The property is zoned B-l by the county right now," he said, "and we would like to remain B-l in the city." Stanek stated that essentially the question is whether the city wants to trade sales tax for sewer and water rights? - - It was also brought up that the property extends 175 feet along Ringwood road, which the city would have to maintain and plow in the winter The owner stated that besides the businesses which would go in the seven lots, he wanted to put apartments above the stores County zoning limits the number of apartments which can be put above the small shopping center There were no objections to the proposal Finally, with the third land proposal, the annexation of property south of Glacier Ridge on Draper road, the city has the opportunity to enforce another new ordinance which just recently took effect. The ordinance states that contributions may be assessed to each lot owner annexed to the city In Crystal Lake, for example, persons wishing to build in the city limits must pay $1,300 to the~^hools^, as well as con- tributionsTor parks, roads, etc. Up until now, McHenry has had no such fee Stanek. who pushed for the new ordinance, discussed fees with Green, and pushed for a $300 contribution for parks per lot, a $100 contribution for the library per lot. and at^ least $200 per lot for schools Also, a monetary amount would have to be worked out for the maintenance of Draper road, which would receive increased use with the addition of approximately 175 new homes. The homes themselves would not use city water and sewer facilities, since each lot would be at least one acre in size. The aldermen present (William Bolger, Walther Schaedel and Raymond Smith were absent) voiced no ob­ jections to the preliminary proposal, which would be similar to the Glacier Ridge development on the Wheelock property. McHENRY SCHOOL BOARDS ACT ON COMMON PROBLEMS (Continued from page 1) The other topic on which the two boards held discussions concerned the request of the village board of Island Lake to disconnect a particular part of the local school districts and annex it to Wauconda School District 118. This was asked in the interest of uniting the present Island Lake neigh­ borhoods into a single school district. Results of 9 survey were released indicating that most families in the area in question chose to remain in Districts 15 and 156. Forty-seven Island Lake families were included in the survey with sixty-three children Of this number, twenty families with thirty-one students said they preferred to remain in the McHenry districts while only three families with four students preferred to leave. Therefore, the boards chose to abide by the wishes of the majority and no change will be allowed. On the other hand, the office of County Supt. of Schools Edward Hall sent notices ad­ vising that he had received a petition from the property owners in Boat and Saddle subdivision, near Huemann's subdivision, indicating a desire to withdraw from the local districts and attend Johnsburg schools. Thirty-four lots are involved. Financial considerations revealed reasons for the two ( McHenry boards to be reluc­ tant to allow the withdrawals. The 1976 assessed valuation of the area was $338,714. There are twelve homes with three pre­ school, seven elementary and two high school students. The assessed valuation per pupil in District 15 is $48,387 and for District 156, $169,357. A vote resulted in a decision not to allow this subdivision to withdraw from McHenry school districts. Later, in the regular meeting of District 156, the board ac­ cepted the resignations of Barbara Pintar,» Special Education teacher at East, and Margaret Jung, Science teacher at East. A leave was granted for Mrs Lou Whitaker, Physical Education teacher at West. Through use of revenue from Title I and Title lVc, it has become possible to employ a Special Education teacher next year at no cost to the district, "pon recommendation of the administration. Miss Pamela Schuttler was hired She was recently given an honorary dismissal from the district due to staff curtailment at West. The board gave approval to the addition of a new coaching position for the athletic program in the area of an assistant girls' tennis coach Also approved were coaching assignments. The board agreed to the recommended increase in the athletic budget by a total of $1,400, the approximately 4.3 percent increase exclusively in upgrading equipment and materials for the girls' program By a vote of 4-2, the board agreed to employ Charles A Mionske. Illinois land surveyor, to determine ownership of a small portion of land about which there is doubt. There was some reluctance expressed about making the survey at this time rather than when an addition might be necessary at West Bids totaling $76,637 44 were accepted for the purchase of nearly all equipment and supplies for the school district next year The dilemma of what to do about a request from about 100 sophomores asking the board to reconsider its decision regarding tuitioned students from Johnsburg brought considerable discussion. Under the present plan, they would transfer to the Johnsburg school their senior year, but they prefer to graduate with their MCHS class. The local board will send a letter to Johnsburg District 12, to determine their feeling in the matter. Member Edward Neumann noted that he had been con­ tacted by some citizens and parents concerning the feasibility of forming a unit school district. All members agreed that a study should be made to determine the ad­ vantages and disadvantages.

Crash Kills Passenger A traffic accident Saturday morning claimed the life of a man tentatively identified as being from Ontario, Canada The victim's name is being withheld pending positive verification through finger­ prints.

Further investigation into the accident is being made by the McHenry county Accident Investigation unit. Two Cars Demolished, Driver To Hospital MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) coming upon searchers after dark was frightening. In one case, our car pulled up to a stop sign at an intersection, only to find small flashlights probing the interior of an unusual assemblage of discarded articles. At another point, a man was shuffling through a larger pile. Some of us who are prone to save everything we have ever acquired, might do well to issue an invitation to the public for a come-and-get-it party in the basement or attic. Tl\e prospect of ridding ourself of unwanted items in this way piques our interest After ridding one room of a long acquired collection of this- and-that last Monday, we refrained from joining the growing number of lookers for fear we would readily find replacements for the barren corners we had just emptied. Indeed, one man's trash is another man's treasure! KAF FAMILY SERVICE MEETING The Family Service and Community Mental ^ffealth Center for McHenry County will hold its regular monthly meeting Wednesday.

Mitchem of Northbrook was ticketed for improper lane usage on a laned roadway, and also for driving with unsafe tires after the collision, which demolished both vehicles. Mitchem, who was not in­ jured, stated to police that he was eastbound on Lincoln road, and due to his bad tires, he was unable to hold the curve in the road, sliding into the other lane. He added that he applied his brakes, but still struck the Baker vehicle. Baker stated that he saw the Mitchem car in his lane, and went to the road shoulder to avoid the crash, but could not. In other accidents, Gary W. Gabriel of 2809 Tower drive in McHenry was ticketed for leaving the scene of a vehicle- damage accident after striking a parked car late Saturday night on Tower drive.

Store Safely Storing foods correctly is as important as buying clean, safe foods at the store Remember handy as it might be. the storage space under the kitchen sink is NOT a good place for storing potatoes and onions Cans of food stored in a moist area can develop rust and eventually the can will deteriorate and the food will spoil
