It is estimated by the city that another three weeks will be required before their completion. Even then, they will not be put to use until the pumping station is ready A sidewalk is also in the plans in front of the Jewel Tea parking lot. A number of business moves are contemplated for the near future. Science Research As sociates is moving both the McHenry and Woodstock operations from present locations to a new plant at Fritzsche's Estates. The Lakeland /Park community will soon be the home of McHenry Auto Body, which is moving from McHenry, and also a new liquor store. Seibel- Motors have already made the move to that area. Remodelling has changed completely the appearance of the southeast corner of the Elm and Front street intersection since Schreiner's Standard service has erected a new building and provided additional drive-in space. Rainbow Cleaners is also in the process of remodelling. Nearby, a new Clark station is fast nearing completion. The Conn organ business is getting ready to open at a new location on east Elm street. New to the Main street business district is West Town Recreation, which is scheduled to open about the first of next month in the Jus ten building. The many changes have inspired individuals to take added interest in their property. The city says a number of property owners have taken steps to have weeds cut on vacant lots. They hope others will follow this lead and make McHenry attractive during the summer season. Not all of McHenry's improvements can be made at once, but the active programs now being carried out are indication of the attempt to strive continuously toward the ideal community everyone hopes for. Easing traffic conditions in the business districts, attracting industry to the area, and other similar programs are being studied, and there is reason to believe that the months ahead mpy see progress in this direction.
