FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 6, 1944). Arriving with Uncle Sam's Army troops on North African soil within the past two weeks was Pvt. Donald Schaefer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Schaefer of West McHenry. Pvt.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 2, 1959). By Cliff Ward Plaindealer news service McHenry County has been assigned a tax multiplier of 1.0, county Supervisor of Assessments Randy Woloski reported last week. Woloski said the drop in the multiplier, which was 1.9 last year, will tend to balance out the jump in assessed valuation, which was equalized - or brought up to one-third of market value - this year. However, he pointed out that the amount of money taxing districts ask for - not assessed valuation or mulitpliers - will determine an individual's tax bill. r" Because tax dollars collected are the result of what taxing districts levy to spend, it is difficult to say what affect, if any, this will have on anybody's tax bill," Woloski said. In basic tax talk, the tax rate is determined by taking the levy -r the amount districts like schools, cities, etc., want to spend -- and dividing it by the assessed valuation, which in its base definition is a means of dividing up those dollars the districts ask for, he said. The levy is the amount of the tax burden and the assessed valuation is a means of dividing Introducing our complete line of Electronic & Computer Furniture! •Audio Cabinets (over 10 on display) Prom $5995 •Video Cabinets (over 10 on display) from $9995 •IV Stands Prom $19,s •Tape Cases (for VMS, Audio Cassettes & Game Cartridges) $3995 Electronic & Computer Furniture by: •O'Sullivan •Singer •Riverside Completely Assembled •Printer Stand $179*5 •Computer Desks (over 12 on display) From >89" Sorry...TAPES, TV & VCR NOT INCLUDED Coach Fulton and his Warriors brought pride to the town of McHenry for their tremendous display of basketball talent during the 1958-59 season. They won the North Suburban Con­ ference championship for the. first time in McHenry's long basketball history and finished with a 22-2 record which ranks with the finest in the state.

Matt Eichinger was the leading scorer with 384 points for a 16-point average. Don Bentz, who left the team in mid-term, was second high scorer and A1 Cajthaml was third in scoring.

"This is basically regardless of whether assessed valuations increase or decrease. "Assessments only serve as a method of apportioning, or dividing up, what a district is taxing to spend," Woloski continued. "They do not determine how much a district taxes to spend." The multiplier itself, assigned by the state, adjusts the level of assessments to the statutory level of one-third of market value, Woloski said. Since valuations were reassessed at 33 1-3, the multiplier is in some cases that column on your tax letter which gave you a higher 1983 Board of Review equalized value could proportionally be about the same, since the last assessment was multiplied by 1.9 and this year's is multiplied by 1.0, he said. Woloski also suggested that people who complain about the tax rate, the multiplier and the assessments become more involved in their city, school district and other tax districts. They are the ones who set the key number - the levy, he said. Three men were arrested by Illinois Bureau of Investigation agents after they had stolen $45 in cash and $30 of a coin collection from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe J. Diedrich, of McHenry. The FBI seized the three men at a McHenry car wash minutes after they left the Diedrich home. The arrests were part of a crackdown on coin thieves across the state.
