\ Peg* Twelve THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, July 19^ Wonder Lakv INCORPORATION ON BALLOT IN FALL ELECTION •lane Dncey Of more interest to local residents than the . presidential election, perhaps, will be the separate ballot for incorporation which will be voted upon at the November election. A simple majority will decide whether this community of 3,500 people (1960 census shows us larger than the city of McHenry) will continue under county jurisdiction, or become a village or city. This fact was revealed Sunday night at a meeting in Mathews hall called to consider some of the problems peculiar to the Lake Community with regard to incorporation. About sixty interested residents attended. The meeting, was spearheaded by Dr. S. L. Ruggero. Horace Wagner. Frank Higgins, T. P. Mathews and John Feyerer. The November election was chosen with the thought that the community would turn out to vote in a presidential election and this would best reflect the wishes of the majority of the residents. Well in advance of the voting, the group will have prepared and distributed to all homes a brdchure on the advantages and disadvantages and projected costs and income of Wonder Lake as a corporate body. This will furnish the people with a basis for making an. intelligent decision. Higgins. who presided over the meeting, gave these four major advantages to be gained from incorporation. 1) home rule. 2) a plan commission, which allows the municipality to control a 1% mile buffer zone surrounding the area. 3) police protection, and 4) protection of our property values through adequate enforcement of the building code. Discussion brought out that the roads according to statute are public, although maintained by the individual subdivisions. The best course of action to insure the continuing of our beaches in their private status emerged as a major controversy. One course would be to continue with the subdivisions controlling their own beaches, another would be the formation of a park district for the entire area. A decision must be reached also whether to incorporate as a village with 2 square mile area, or as a city with 4 square miles. The 2 sqUrSfg mile limit would extend from Wooded , Shores to Hickory Falls and include Parker's Highla n d s and Oakwood Shores on the East. The advantage of incorporation at a time whpn there is no impending crisis at the Lake was pointed out by Mathews. He cited the example of other communities which have been forced to take this step due to the eventual saturation of the ground with sewage disposal systems and subsequent pollution of drinking water. At this point the state forces the installation of public sewage disposal or the evacuation of the area. This imposes a great burden on a newly incorporated area. A meeting with/the heads of subdivision boards is planned to consider further the best course of action with regard to the beaches and the area to be included. Our intrepid Wonder Lake firemen have spent the past week at the- firehouse again this year doing the work necessary to make the carnival a success.
