Ms. Walker said she slowed when she saw a large truck stopped partly on the roadway. She then stopped when she met oncoming traffic, and her car was hit in the rear. Police have been unable to contact the driver of the cement truck as of this date.

Pet Welfare took it from there, and at closing time Friday, two small kittens had been thrust into the confusing and complex world of adults. Through the concern of cat lovers who have volunteered to coax friendship from these two lonely creatures, they are expected to eventually find a home. The problem is so widespread that one incident in which we of the newspaper staff became involved is insignificant. But to the staff, whose heartstrings were often torn by the bewilderment and fright of two orphans, it will not soon be forgotten. KAF RECOMMEND ACCEPTANCE OF B-l ZONING (Continued from page 1) PUD agreement, the (land) donation does not change. The smaller lots would be offset by parks or open space. He said that by reducing the frontage size of each lot they would decrease the improvement (street, water and sewer) costs for each buyer by up to $500. Suzanne Kauss asked the size of the houses and was informed they would range around 1,400 square feet plus the garage. Parks asked how many lots would be greater and how many be less than 9,000 square feet. He said he had counted forty-seven on the proposed plat that were less than 9,000 square feet. Annie Cuda said she favored lot sizes 10,000 to 15,000 square feet, and asked if these in the Lancer development could be increased. Hunter said "Not in the first phase" (of the development). He was also asked if he is requesting a reduction on every lot. Attorney Bernard Narusis explained about the developer's plat, which someone had suggested using as a restrictive device to control lot sizes, that it had no legal standing since it had not been approved by the Planning commission or City Council. Wilkins said he had reser­ vations about the 25 percent reduction on every lot. Clint Claypool disagreed. He said he felt sympathetic to the developer. And he asked, "Are we thinking of an Utopia?" (regarding subdivision requirements) He said they should consider making housing available to people who can't afford large houses on large lots. "We must think of the developer's problems." he insisted as expressions of protest arose from the audience. "Remember the needs of future generations." Wilkins noted they could compromise by making some reductions for those in need. Mrs. Cuda warned that there is no guarantee that the builder wouldn't reduce every lot, but conceded it might be ap<- propriate to allow the developer some leeway. D. Williams suggested that they recess on this petition until a later date and the ZBA agreed by a vote of 5 to 2. Claypool objected. "It sounds like the ZBA is trying to make a deal. Let's make it now and vote on it." he urged. The ZBA then considered petition No. 3, 30 acres located 1,000 yards south of Route 120 and 1.000 yards east of Draper road to be re-zoned R-4^ Multi- family district. Fouse predicted a domino effect if the R-4 should be permitted. He said it would encourage Ladd to go ahead with townhouses. He felt this would be detrimental and would cause more townhouses east of this development, which are the lowest form of R-4, he said. He would rather see R-5. Mrs, Kauss asked how far from the back yards on Oak- wood drive this would be, and was advised 1,000 yards. Hunter remarked in con­ sidering townhouses versus condominiums, townhouses own and care for their part of the lot. The density would be limited to 6.66 units per acre. Claypool then moved to deny petition No. 3 because, by the developer's own testimony, its development lies too far in the future, so why should they consider it now. Hunter explained that it was part of the agreement because of the increase in school donation, the city would allow an increase in density. Hunter also asked if the petition was denied, could it be amended or would they have to start over again. The area in question was not a magic location, he said. Attorney Narusis said that amendments could be made only before the ZBA acts on the petition. The board moved to recess consideration of this petition until Dec. 16 along with Petition No. 2.

Nicholas Boose, board member, at the close of the meeting offered a resolution honoring the one-millionth, rider in the Elgin tran­ sportation system. He said the system had doubled the number of its daily riders under the RTA. And he offered the congratulation of the RTA to Elgin on this accomplishment. •• RLE NOW FOR MCC AID (Continued from page 1) classes.

"' A church organization which ' is otherwise tax exempt must ' file an "Exempt Organization Business Income Tax Return," "1 Form 990-T, and pay tax oil0 * income derived from ^raiHryfi^'"8 on a business or trade which is not substantially related to the organization's exempt status/ The IRS examines exempt\N organizations, including ',f churches, to determine their * compliance with the tax laws lj affecting their activities and '** financial operations.
