It was bill-paying night--the first meeting of the month. Bills totalled approximately $4500 and the finance committee estimated income and expense for the final quarter of the fiscal year with much concern. A rigid program will be necessary in collecting all licenses and accounts due the city. In the waterworks department, notices are being sent out setting a final shut-off date unless delinquent balances are paid. More lenient 'treatment has failed in many instances and, in fairness to all, the council feels that all water users must be treated the same. Results were evident in the City Collector's report Vehicle licenses are due at this time and many car owners have secured their stickers. The deadlii. 3 on .these licenses is the last day of February. A penalty of 50 cents per month becomes effective March 1. For many years, the city clerk's office has followed the plan of sending out reminder cat Is to those who have purchased tags the previous year and many have forgotten their current tags. This is not a notice, nor can failure to receive a card be used as an excuse for not securing licenses. It is a reminder to help avoid payment of penalties. The city issued over 700 ve-. *cle licenses last year. In spite of this, reports continue to come to city officials that some car owners ignore the ordinance completely. This brings on a need for action. The ordinance requires that the license tag be displayed.. Thus, the purchase of license is not sufficient It must be displayed on your windshield. Hast Display Stickers f.Each year reports are turned ih that certain individuals have not purchased vehicle licenses. A look at the record shows that purchase was made. In these cases there has been neglect In placing stickers on the windshield. Some wait for warmer weather. This is not necessary. A high-grade sticker is furnished and is designed for cold weather application. Immediately f\l lowing the February 29th deadline, a police drive Will be started and all vehicle owners residing in the city limits will be required to have their --stickers conspicuously displayed. This, again, will result in fair and same treatment to all. McHenry's police deprtment has seen some changes in the past month. Chief John McCarthy resigned the first of the year. Officer Murphy's resignation is effec- *»%ve March 1. A new appointment found Harold Aim in 1 uniform the firBt day of February. The de partment has been operating under the direction of Mayor Freund. pending the appointment Of a chief.
