The sum of $63.83 per studerit was agreed upon, which, is mid-point in ^he amounts for which the two districts are reimbursed by the stateog*:v."' ' Concerning attendance, Dr. Bods said his office receives complaints from some parents when schools remain open on poqr, traveling days such as Tuesday, and from others when it is closed. He said there was a 70 per cent student attendance Tuesday and there were no accidents. Members agreed to an in­ crease on a per diem rate for bus drivers from the present $9 to $9.50, final action depending upon approval by the District 15i6 board. This figure represents a 5.5 per cent in­ crease and brings the rate more in line with the siirrounding area. pobert Thornton, Lester Smith and Mrs. Cuda were naimed to the Negotiations c($nmittee, and James Shaffer, Dorothy Vick and M. David Cain to the Teachers Recognition committee. Jn other business, the board authorized sending brief questionnaires to parents to g$in information members feel will assist in efforts to make better schools in the com­ munity- 'A student transportation refund policy was adopted whereby the full amount will be refunded if the student drops transportation within the first three weeks of school. After tllat time, but before the end of the first semester, one-half of tie' yearly charge would be refunded. If a student rides the fifst semester and into the second semester, there will be no refund. *A book rental refund policy \*ras also agreed upon. •An okay was given to the employment of Jay Gardner as receptionist and to Rosemary Hansen as a teacher aide, the latter replacing Barbara Sfchuerr. Candace Koerper's resignation as receptionist was accepted. * The happiest person in tkis community is probably tbe one who has helped the most people, in one way or another. DELAY ACTION TO OUSTCORNUE FROM OFFICE (Continued from page 1) A suggestion was made that the Building committee of the county board present to the Building commission, owner of the new courthouse, a list of priorities on the expenditure of the remaining money to be used for courthouse needs. Buss questioned whether board members felt microphones should be in­ stalled in the county board meeting. He pointed to the required $20,000 as "a lot of money" for microphones and vote counting boards. Chairman Dean said he felt an increase in parking facilities should be the first priority. Dean stressed the fact that the present lot is much too small even though it is adequate for 600 cars. It was agreed that the Building committee will make a priority list and present to the commission. Also in connection with the new courthouse, it was suggested that the church on Rt. 47 purchased by the county might find its best use as a juvenile detention home. No action was taken. State Senator-Elect Jack Schaffer, former county auditor, spoke to the board Tuesday and made several recommendations based on his experience in office. He suggested a complete com­ puterization of tax bills and an expansion of the computer service to other divisions of government. Other suggestions were for central purchasing from the state, which would result in a savings, and a consolidation of the Fees and Salary and Finance committees, whose responsibilities at times overlap. A report of Treasurer Audrey R. Walgenbach indicated the total amount collected for distribution from current taxes is $27,267,796.94. In addition, $521,550.87 was paid in protest and is being held in escrow, bringing the total to $27,789,347.81. The collection, including escrow account, represents 94.9 per cent of the total bill of $29,279,976.36, largest bill in the history of the county. There have been seven distributions made this year, which is 93 per cent of the total charged amounts. These started Oct. 18, with the last one made Dec. 11. After much discussion, ap­ proval was given to a local application for reclassification and variation of the McHenry county zoning ordinance. The property in question is located on the east side of Rt. 31, about a quarter of a mile south of the city limits, containing 7.76 acres in Nunda township. The petitioners, Herman and Pauline Dowe, J. and Joan Granger, Rudolph and Eleanor Ficken asked the change from "F" farming district to "B-3" commercial and for a variation granted to allow one single family dwelling unit on the second floor of a proposed building on the south 1 acre. On recommendation of the Health department, the board approved a new septic design for property owned by Harry Eckiand at 222 N. Country Club drive, McHenry. f Highway Commissioner James Rakow informed the group that thirteen sub* divisions have indicated to the Board of Local Improvements a desire to improve a total of thirty-five miles in roads. A meeting of the latter board is scheduled Tuesday, Dec. 19, to work out the program. New speed limits were set by the Road and Bridge com* mittee and approved by the board as a whole Tuesday. Two of the four were in the McHenry urea. Limits of 45 miles per hour were established for Barreville road, between State Park road and Rt. 176, and also for Ridge road in Bull Valley, from Rt. 120 south to Bull Valley road. Action was taken to join the Urban Counties council at a cost of $2,000 a year. Purpose of the newly formed council was to promote legislation and policy beneficial to counties with a population of 100,000 or more since these counties are faced with the problems of urbanization not common to the smaller, strictly agricultural counties. James Militello was named to the membership of the McHenry County Regional Planning commission. He replaces Louis J. Gooss'ens, who resigned. The sales tax for August was announced at $40,821.36. IT'S PERCY FOR 19761 (Continued from page 1) this vepyliberal platform. They were j Ralph Nader, John Lindsey, Richard Ogilvie, Ted Kennedy, Charles Percy, George Wallace, Spiro Agnew, Julian Bond, Daniel Walker, Charlotte Reid, Jesse Jackson, Thomas Eagle ton and Barry Goldwater.

Just how much good such contributions accomplish was pointed up this week when the family of the late Harry Conway learned that monetary memorials had furnished a class room at the Pioneer center. Certainly there are no more fitting memorials than those which benefit so many who are deserving. K.A.F. Man Found Beaten; Home Is Ransacked When neighbors of Emmett Hansen of 3207 N. River Park drive, McHenry, told county authorities they had not seen him around his home for several days, officers in­ vestigated and learned that Hansen had been beaten up sometime during the early morning hours of Monday, Dec. 4, by two men who came into his home. Hansen was admitted to McHenry hospital for examination, and due to his condition could not be questioned thoroughly regarding the incident, i Investigation of the Hansen home revealed the premises had been ransacked and Hansen's wallet was taken.
