Fourth ward Alderman Ronald Meurer, who chaired the redietricting committee, preeented e revised plan at a committee meeting of the whole held Tueeday night. Meurer said the plan had been devised using 1980 Census figuree and he noted that only two boundaries had been changed. The Lakeland Shores area, south of Route 110, was taken from ward II and put in ward IV. In a previous proposal, the same area had been shown as a finger-like extension of ward III. The second boundary change took s section of Ward I, north of Kane avenue and weet of Green street, and placed it in ward III. Alderman Michael Wieeer (3rd ward) opposed the "fingers" of the fiosl proposal and said Tueeday he was prepared to fly just leave ward III alone. "If we're to sit here and divide' people like pennies we've got to be nuts," Wieser said "The problem is the annexation of McHenry Shores, Where ward HI was formerly light, ward I is now. What's wrong with that?" Alderman Jack Pepping (1st ward) commented that as long as aldermen represent a particular ward, then one has to consider "one person, one vote" "Where an alderman represents sn less people, then you've got area with a smJfTtef number t)f people with same say," Pepping sai Wieser also noted wsrd III had 50 percent to 60 percent of the business district, however Pepping commented that this wss irrelevent. "You should strive for good balance." Pepping said.

The college has sought, for some time, to improve the entrance to the school at Lucas road and Route 14. College officials have noted a number of accidents at the location. Accordi^ to McHenry Mayor Joseph ^Stanek, the matter was brought up at a recent meeting of the county Municipal association, where he informed college officials that the council had not taken action on a request for $12,000. Stanek said Woodstock Mayor Frances Kuhn was "indignant" that McHenry was not participating in the project "They want $12,000," said Alder­ man George Harker (2nd ward). "Turn me loose with $12,000 and I can do a lot around our town I am violently opposed to giving them anything " "I'll make a motion to deny the request," said Alderman Michael Wieser (3rd ward). Fourth ward Alderman Cecilia Serritella commented that she would have no problem in making some contribution, but noted "$12,000 is an awful lot M Mrs. Serritella pointed out that a substantial number of McHenry youths snd sdults attend the college. She received support from Alder­ man Elizabeth Nolan. "Sometimes we have to extend the confines past our town," she said. "I feel we have a responsibility." "Not.one penny because>t's not our place," said Alderman Raymond Smith (3rd ward). He noted that the college sought and obtained status as a taxing body. "We have to operate with our taxes, they should have to operate with theirs," Smith said. "I'm not against the college, it is a good thing but I don't think they're going to reduce taxes if*we help them."

"Now we're breeking up two arees. I'm in favor of leeving it." Smith said that if redietricting had to be done, then the committee should run the lines up snd down the streets, regardless of subdivisions, until s balance was reached.
