HEAR REALTORS' OBJECTIONS ON ZONING (Continued from page 1) felt badgered by, his ex­ planation of how poorly the job is done in Illinois. Scholes was interested in the preservation of farm land and recommended that more criteria be used to determine prime agriculture land. His knowledge of size of lots and of sewage disposal problems was evident. He, too, felt that the proposed ordinance was designed to discourage density. Tom Harding, chairman of the Legislative committee of McHenry County Real Estate Brokers, limited his discourse since he had previously ap­ peared as part of other county hearings. His figure of the real estate sales volume in McHenry county for the year 1978 at $149,436,393 was made even more impressive when he added that the figure did not include 25 to 35 percent of basically farm sales during that year. He related that the Board of Realtors had tried to have input in the proposed changes during the past five to ten years. A written critique was sent to the zoning board last August and, to his knowledge, only one change had been influenced. He repeated the Board of Realtors' exception to the 35-acre minimum; the intensive agricultural clause; and to the lack of a land use plan. Harding emphasized that every person in the county would be affected by this proposal and felt that very few were getting the word from the mandated public meetings being held. Norman Drummond of Waukegan, who is a consulting city planner for Northbrook, and who had been active in drafting a zoning ordinance for Lake county from 1959 to 1968, had prepared a written critique of the McHenry county proposal and had Attorney Green distribute a copy to each member of the County board who was present. Drummond also produced maps of Greenwood, Dorr, Grafton, McHenry, Nunda and Algon­ quin townships of sufficient scale to be easily seen from any area of the room. Plainly visible was the expanse of light green agricultural area plus dark green areas-2,288 of them--representing non­ conforming lots of less than 35 acres. His concern was that the lar^e expanse of designed agricultural land implied that it must be used for agricultural purposes He explained that in this whole region McHenry county could be expected to be the most subject to change. That meant, he said, developmental pressures are in the making that emphasize the need of a land use plan in order to keep down a lot of arbitrary decisions by the Zoning board. The present proposal, he continued. would add tremendously to the money and time needed for rezoning. At the conclusion of the hearing, Chairperson Girard announced that Feb. 19 was the cutoff date for persons who desired to arrange for in­ dividual hearings on their zoning problems. NULLE OUT OF SHERIFF RACE ( continued from page 1) continue to administer the Sheriff's policies to the best of my ability and I will give the appointed sheriff my fullest cooperation," Nulle em­ phasized. He indicated his main con­ cern at the moment was to protect the jobs of the em­ ployees of the department and the programs established by Tyrrell, "suchYas, Crime Prevention, SafetyV Education, Snowmobile Patrol and Auxiliary deputies "! He added he would be a candidate in 1980. "I fully in­ tend to t>e a Republican can­ didate for the office of sheriff in 1980 when I am not restricted by a law which I do not agree with."

MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) delectables for dessert were sold. We reached for a can of prepared cherry filling but the eye soared above the luscious fruit to a very plainly marked price, $1.79. Impossible! Here was a 20 ounce can of cherries and the inside was certain to contain only a large measure of thickened juice. Three cans of cherries came to $5.37, not to mention ingredients for the cobbler topping. In the inward struggle bet­ ween the practical and the energy-saving forces, the pocketbook lost. The arguments we used as we stood over the cans of cherry we don't remember, but in our weariness we succumbed to the giddiness of the moment.

Beach road, was not injured. Worm was ticketed for driving while intoxicated, with bond set at $1,000 and a court appearance scheduled for Feb. 20. Last Friday, after a routine traffic stop on Eastview, south of Rt. 120, police discovered the driver's license of Wesley May, 25, 726 Southside, was found to be suspended. He was arrested for driving while license suspended with bond set at $1,000 and a court hearing scheduled for March 1. While on routine patrol Feb. 8, sheriff's police observed a dump truck being driven at McCullom Lake road and Hickory with an expired safety sticker. Police stopped the vehicle and issued the driver, Perry Mitchell, 21, 4920 Fountain lane, a ticket for the offense. A routine inquiry led police to discover Mitchell was wanted as a deserter by the U.S. Marine corps and he was taken into custody for the military. Two men were arrested following an incident Feb. 7 on River road. Police responded to the report of a disturbance at 1211 N. River road, and upon their arrival, discovered that one offender had departed but two had remained, although they had been told to depart. One of them reportedly kicked investigating officers. Both men were arrested and when they arrived at county jail, cannabis was reportedly found in the possession of both men. William Colomer, 25, 4714 Garden Quarter, was arrested for criminal trespass to land, disorderly conduct and possession of cannabis, with bond set at $2,035. Michael fylayfield, 33, 2209 W. Manor lane, was arrested for aggravated battery and possession of cannabis. Both men were scheduled to appear in court Thursday.

Ott told Sheriff's police he was eastbound on Route 120 when the vehicle went partially off the road and struck a snowbank, causing it to flip over. No injuries where reported when a City of McHenry Public Works department truck backed into an auto Monday on Washington street at Riverside drive. Ralph F. Wagner, 3812 N. Hillcrest, who was operating the truck, told police he was backing up and did not see the car, driven by Carol F. Basely, 2112 Orchard Beach, behind the truck. The sander attached to the back of the truck struck the hood of the car causing an estimated damage of over $150. Damage to the sander was listed at $100.
