L M l ' lion On* --~Pag« Eight THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday. June 2.1966 Mayor Predicts Action On Lakeland Annexation Request In Near Future • JlgST* ft-. After announcement' of the filing of petitions requesting annexation to the city by four units of Lakeland! (P»rk and three of Lakeland'Shores, Mc- Henry Mayor Donald , P. Doherty said this week he feels action will be forthcorning in the near future, .certainly before the end of summer. . .... The tax assessment . records of McHenry county establish a total valuation of feal estate and improvements in the Lakeland area at $5,000,000. This, valuation would result in a real estate tax income to the city of McHe^^t^gparoximately $30,000 vgraSi^toted at the present ratg^j&^'Valuation of real estate- an^linprovements in McHenr^' ^irtJie present time is in neighborhood of. $12,000,0(|y^^)a per-, sonal property \^MkOlSn close to $4,000,000. Applying this ratio of real estate to personal property valuation to the Lakeland area woulfl' TfftUfcBte a probable personal property tax revenue of $7,500 per year. ' Estimate Population Five hundred fifty-five homes have already been constructed in the subdivisions. .XJsing the state multiple of 3.75 persons per home, the population would be 2,081 persons, as compared" to the present population figure of the city of McHenry, 3,400. If the territory is annexed, the city of McHenry would have a federal census taken as soon as possible in order to determine the new population figure of the expanded city. McHenry would then become entitled to Motor Fuel Tax income at the rate of 45 cents per person per month. The added population of the Lakeland area- would increase the Motor Fuel Tax revenue by $11,000 to $12,000 a year. Income Delayed Further revenue would be realized from sales taxes, as well as the usual revenue from building permits, water sales and liquor licenses. While sales tax atid motor fuel tax income Would accrue to the city within, thirty to sixty d^ys after annexation, the first real estate and personal property tax income would not be received by the city until June or July of 196S. This creates an initial burden on the city because it is necessary to extend the municipal services immediately upon the annexation. It is quite probable that the police force would have to be expanded, some new road equipment purchased, and essential road repairs be made long before revenue for ASK PROBATION ON MAYFXELD THEFT CHARGE A plea of guilty to a burglary indictment was made in Circuit court last Friday by Gerald L. Mayfield of 3809 W. Main street, McHenry. A second theft charge was nolle pressed. The youth was charged with entering the home of Louis E. Marchi of 7319 W. Trey road, McHenry, and taking a necklace and transistor radio. The nolle prossed indictment had charged Mayfield with entering fthe J. Larson home at 3315 W. Johns burg road, where rings were taken. A petition for probation was filed by Mayfield's attorney. this purpose can be expected. In addition to the immediate need for road work, there is a definite need for the installation of proper ground water drainage to eventually secure dry road foundation sites, which are eseential to satisfactory final road installation. It is expected that, the . eventual installation of sanitary sewerage facilities would probably be financed by special assessment or revenue bonds, or a combination of both. Special assessments would be required to maintain a continued program of road improvement and drainage. The overall improvements plan must necessarily be long range and, -for the most, part, self-sustained by the Lakeland territory. The existing water system is privately owned and it will be necessary for the city to reach either a satisfactory operating agreement with the present owners or to institute condemnation proceedings to establish a fair purchase price. The present plan for complete water service would result in extending the closest available city main to a connection with the existing mains in the Lakeland area. It is not yet known whether the increased supply and pressure would enable the Lakeland residents to effectinsurance savings. Open House At Mental Center (Continued from,Page 1) OUTSTANDING HOLLYWOOD TRIP IN FINAL PLANS (Continued form Page 1) Preliminary judging by interviews of each of the contestants will take place in the late afternoon at the V.F.W. clubhouse, but this portion of the contest will not be open to the public. The evening judging which starts about 7:30 o'clock will be open to those who wish to view the fin'al judging and the crowning of the queen. Judges are Bill Lnnge of Warner Brothers Studio; Sol Horwitz of Allied 'Iheitre Corp.; Dick Matt of Mattco Associates; Harry Ecklijnd. SMperintendent of streets for the city of Chicago, and Carol Young, senior stewardess of American Airlines. hoXv services will be improved is set for Sunday afternoon, June 12. Mally said open house will be from 2 to 5 p.m. and staff members--including the social workers, psychiatrists and psychologists who serve the public at the center--will be present to greet visitors. * Mally and board members, headed by President Joseph Gitlin, will also be at the open house. Included in the new quarters are rooms for specialty group treatment and several offices to provide facilities for more privacy. In Hospital. Complex '.^The new headquarters are adjacent to the present building on West Waukegan road. The new Mental Health center will be located in a part <if the building that comprises the McHenry hospital complex, and the Mental ^Health center rents the space from the hospital. - The Mental Health center is not connected with the hospital in any other way. The number of referrals for treatment at the center continues at a constant flow, Mally reported. The staff is kept busy handling mostly emergency treatment cases but is also handling all cases which have been under their direction from previous months' refer rals. Visitors to the new quarters will enter a lobby, and may •iot ice one office that leads from the lobby to the left. The secretarial workload will be handled (in a room adjacent to the lobby, Mrs. June Keller is the full-time secretary. The play therapy room group therapy room, and six private offices complete the space rented by the Mental Health Center. Assist Open House Members of the newly-formed woman's auxiliary will assist at the open house in serving refreshments. Mrs. Sue Kurtz is in charge of these arrangements. A t p r e s e n t , t h e M e n t a l Health center has the equivalent of three full-time profes sional staff members trained to work with emotionally disturbed patients. Based on the study by spe c i a l i s t s , M c H e n r y c o u n t y should have at least six fulltime psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers to serve its 96,000 population. However, lack of funds thwart this goal. The roomier facilities in the new quarters will make it easier for present staff members to serve. It will encourage these specialists, who come to McHenry county on half-day and full-day assignments, to spend more time here, Mally said. HOWARD PHALIN TO ADDRESS '66 MARIAN CLASS (Continued from Page 1) a scholarship to Saint Mary's college in South Bend, Ind.,will address the 198 graduates, faculty members and guests.

Mr. Zilly is not a co-worker one easily forgets--nor are the mischievous pranks that were so cleverly nestled here and there in a good day's work. With some effort, we could no doubt come up with a variety of examples of the sense of humor that was his. Without effort, we remember well the Halloween night, we answered the door bell to greet what we expected; would be a small trick-or-treater, only to find this 6-foot "small-fry" completely covered with a sheet and resembling an overgrown version of an old comic strip ghost. And to top it all, the joke had seemed worthwhile driving from his home in Crystal Lake to perpetrate. The newspaper business has its trying moments, but we are thankful that here and there along the line is an Irwin Zilly type who lightens the heavy days. . The Plaindealer office has been the scene of heavy traffic this past week as school groups paid visits in an effort to learn something about the operation of the local newspaper. A "thank you" letter from one of the classes indicated they enjoyed this insight into printing and publishing. K.A.F. PATIENTS IN HOSPITAL ARE TRANSFERRED (Continued from Page 1) three operating rooms and a recovery room. Doctors began using this modern, outstanding facility Wednesday morning. Corcoran said he expresses the view of the board of directors and himself in saying that they are appreciative of the wonderful response from the public during the open house. He said public enthusiasm is at a peak. The board is appreciative also of the extra effort shown by members of the entire hospital staff to make the move smooth and efficient. Mrs. Clare Boehm, R.N., director of • nursing, and members of the nursing staff deserve special praise for the smooth transition which accompanied the shift from the old hospital to the modern 119- bed addition. Only patients in the maternity department were hot moved. This department, part of the 1961 addition, continues to provide full service for maternity patients with its eighteen beds and eight bassinets. Award Nurse Scholarships (Continued from Page 1) she plans to follow. Her entrance into St. Therese hospital, school of nursing in Waukegan will culminate a dream for a nursing career expressed in her first years of school. Miss Blake has contributed her time to McHenry hospital as a Candystriper for several years. The second scholarship will go to Judith Ann Rettler of Crystal Lake, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Rettler. She has been accepted at St. Anthony hospital school of nursing in Rockford and has an ambition to become a pediatric nurse. Upon completion of their courses, both young ladies will work at McHenry hospital as nurses for at least the first year after graduation--H)ne coife dition of accepting the schola** ship. - ATTEND CHURCH SUNDAY* MlL-K DAY OBSERVANCE Harvard's twenty-fifth annual Milk Day observance is scheduled for Saturday, June 4.
