(Continued from page 16) county's ability to change (sales tax, permit fees, etc.) good government must adjust its spending to the amount of income it generates. "What is left to do is tighten the belt where we can -- in the non-essential activities and those services that affect the public safety the least.

Answer to Question "I believe that all budgets on the county level can be cut, some more than others. The freeze on hiring that the county initiated has been helpful in balancing the budget and I believed it should be continued for the time being. We have recently approved on the Economic Development Com­ mission, which should help bring in more revenue for all government entities. I am not in favor of raising taxes now due to the economic con­ dition of the country. DONALD P. DOHERTY Donald P. Doherty, 1410 N. Green street.

This alone would save $400,000. 2) I would require all county departments to purchase of­ fice supplies, equipment, etc. through a central purchasing department. The amount of money spent at this time is unnecessarily high. CHARLES WEINGART Charles "Chuck" Weingart, 1714 W. Route 120, McHenry J?

"Operation ' T S Dracula" The most popular costume you will probably see this Halloween weekend will be that of an Illinois state trop^er:^ Illinois State police asgigrted to patrol the tollway are^planning a. concentrated drunk driving en­ forcement detail for the nights of Oct. 29, 30 and 31. Captain Hugh S. McGinley, com­ mander of the Tollroad district, stated "We are keeping days off to a minimum, so we can furnish enough manpower to handle the expected intoxicated drivers from parties over the weekend. We will also be closely watching the overpasses on the tollway to prevent van­ dalism developing from throwing pumpkins, and other objects." The main area of concentration will be the north end of 1-94, in the Kenosha-Waukegan area. Local police departments along the Wisconsin border, and the Wisconsin highway patrol, have been asked to participate ps a bi-state effort. MemSers of AAIM, (Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists) will also participate with a civilian patrol. They will drive up and down 1-94 from Deerfield, to the Wisconsin border, calling out suspected drunk drivers to marked Illinois State police cars. Lung Association Takes Stand On Tax McHenry county voters will be faced with a special ballot at the Nov. 2 election which will read, "Shall the tax for the care and treatment of persons afflicted with tuberculosis be discontinued," and both the national office of the American Lung Association and its DuPage-McHenry chapter say "no". Don Carlock, executive director of the DuPage-McHenry group, says that the excess tax for TB is a minor one, and that its cost to taxpayers this year averaged only 38% cents per man, woman and child in the county. "Whenever members of the McHenry County TB Care and Treatment board meet for administrative purposes, they meet without pay and do not draw any 'per diem' as other county officials do. Such a savings to'tlie taxpayers would be' non-existant, it the TB tax were abolished and other county agencies without the TB board's experience, were asked to take over this program," he added. mstrong pvfVEAR i ^LIMITED WARRANTY • Our promiae to you is that the Ann- : strong rosktontlil carpet you pur- »chase wfli be free from manufacturing ; defects, hidden or visible.
