v FWbruffry 3,1955 -*• ••" ^v~ ' THE MeiamT PLAmbEALER x McCullom Lake News By Eve Levesque The follofvving is a letter received by.; your reporter and is being printed in order to serve the best interests of the community. "We are appealing to you as a neighbor and property owner of McCullom Lake and Knollwood to come to the open meetings of the Cullom-Knoll •association at the beach and hear what is being done to maintain^ your roads and beach for you. As we are not incorporated, the county does NOT take care. of our roads. . within the subdivision. #hat 'is up to you, the property owner. But since the formation of thia organization, some four years ago, only about 25 per cent of the permanent residents have been paying their share, while the rest sit back and do not seem to care wfhat happens to the community. "We, ia the minority, that have been paying our dues faithfully, besides serving on administrative committees, are about fed up. We feel many others could and should share the bur- Jden. "We have a very fine group of officers, who work hard and .pay their dues beside. "There are almost three miles of "Toads 'to be maintained. This means grading, graveling, blacktopping or patching as needed. The roads also lhave to be plowed of the snow in the winter. It would be a pity if, in the event of a fire, the fire department . could not get through because of insufficient funds in the snow plow budget. It's a horrible thought, but very possible. , "Strange as it seems, you all take pride in your homes, cars and property in general, so why not your community of which you are an integral part? Many of our residents do not even own .cars and are still paying for ^snow plowing and maintenance of the roads. "You have been notified each time a meeting is (held but so far have not responded properly. Make it your business to get to the meetings and hear how much more could be done if we had your wholehearted support. "If If is impossible to attend, pay your share! You may mail your check to Mrs. Emma Pyritz, secretary, or Mrs. Betty Poledna, treasurer, both at Rt. 4, McHenry, 111. "Come in with us and make this cojntoynlty .one .. of which Vou c&"bS'*^raud."

Plumbing which was installed for the convenience and *comfort of all was deliberately mutilated, broken and ripped out. It doesn't seem possible that wanton destruction can be classified as fun or amusement. Surely youthful exuberance could be confined to ice skating, sledding or basketball playing.
