In other action, a resolution was passed authorizing the issuance of tax anticipation warrants in the amount of $500,000 in the Education fund and $100,000 in the Building fund. The administration expressed confidence it would not be forced to use this money until June. . Member Ed Neumann pointed out that the warrants were sold in March of the 1971- 72 years, in May in 1972-1, and this year it is expected to be «. month later. Through curtailment of the budget, Neumann added that eventually these anticipation [warrants should not be needed. * Bid requests for, sale of the 'warrants were sent to nine :financial institutions.

The prices were .446 for a sandwich bread loaf, .342 for a dozen hamburger buns and .342 for a dozen hot dog buns. These represented increases of more than 20 per cent. Copies of letters were presented as sent through the mail to find persons interested in becoming part of a citizens' advisory committee. This group will assist the board in considering a number of modifications in the high school program and also in determining the needs in developing a district-wide five- year plan. The purpose will be to serve as a liaison between the board and community. Supt. Richard Swantz said ;ne replies have been received 10 date, answering the questionnaire. The school hopes to limit the group to about thirty-five. The initial meeting of the council will be held April 30. Athletic bids were given approval, and it was noted that with the same target figure as last year, increasing prices actually resulted in a decrease in purchases as compared to a year ago. The following bids were accepted: Hayden's Sport Center, Aurora, $4,104.91; Tappe Sporting Goods, Quincy, $658.75; McHenry Favorite Sports, McHenry, $233.80; C h a m p i o n P r o d u c t s , Northbrook, $1,953.40; Ike Craig Sporting Goods, Libertyville, $645.61 and Sport Specialties Co., Inc., Burlington, Wis., $724.60 for a total of $8,311.07. Mrs. Katherine Alvary, a board member, questioned the expenditure of only about 10 per cent of the athletic budget for girls' sports. She also asked whether the girls had uniforms. It was explained that the large number of boys enrolled in major sports was one of the reasons for the much larger expenditure in this area; also that girls' uniforms would be necessary if MCHS tennis players were to participate in the state meet. Two high expenditures were questioned. One concerned $1,628.86 for track and cross country which was due, in part, to improvements in the track. The other was for wrestling, made necessary by reconditioning of a mat, which brought total expenses to $1,880. It was noted that a new mat would have cost considerably more. Members approved making the Learning Management program at East campus a permanent part of the school curriculum. The program was given an okay in June of 1973 for a period of one year. An explanation was made to the board and interested members of the public at the March instructional meeting. Donald E. Bark, C.P.A., was employed to conduct the annual school audit. Resignations were accepted from P^ter Divine, Math instructor at East, and Mrs. Rosanne Malmgren, Business instructor at West. A letter sent by Vale Adams was discussed regarding the present school bus parking on James street, just west of Green street, which is located in a residential area. Recognizing the inconvenience to residents of the area, it was agreed to name a Transportation committee to meet with District 15 representatives in resolving the problem. A tentative budget is expected to be ready for committee review the week of April 22. The superintendent expressed a desire that more people become involved in helping prepare this important document. During the meeting, Mrs. Alvary commented favorably on thie editorial, "The Drug Scene," which appeared in a recent issue of the Plaindealer. Following executive session, an East campus student was expelled for gross misconduct. In the organizational meeting which preceded the regular business meeting, James Althoff was again elected president; Ed Neumann, secretary and Mike Kelly, treasurer. Mrs. Alvary was named president pro-tem and Phillip Bartmann, secretary pro-tem. One change was made in meeting nights. The instructional meetings will be held in the future on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30, alternating at East and West campuses, except for July and August. Business meetings are held as usual the third Tuesday of the month at 7:30 in the c e n t r a l a d m i n i s t r a t i o n building. The McHenry State bank was named official depositor for school funds for the year ahead. By unanimous agreement, Lloyd Freund was recognized for his excellent service through membership on the board. Mr. Freund did not seek reelection this year. DISTRICT 15 limited number of boys participate and it is felt there is a lack of proper preparation for those who later participate in football at the high school level. The wrestling proposal was based on the assumption that there will be one coach and an estimated fifty to seventy-five boys involved at each junior high school. Six inter-school matches per season were suggested in addition to a conference wrestling meet. The program will begin after the Christmas vacation and continue for twelve weeks. Physical education teachers and principals were said to have indicated a strong feeling that the new program will serve a greater number of boys of all sizes and weights.

The fifth will be for elementary teachers to evaluate the curriculum used during the school year and assess the progress of individualization of instruction. The board gave its okay to the bid of Inlander Brothers, Inc., for mimeograph and duplicator paper at a cost of $16 a case. Although this price compared to an $8.20 case bid by the same company last year, it was the only bid received of five requested.

At present there is an answering service. Mailing address is P.O. Box 306, and the telephone number remains the same, 385- 4300. And speaking of the Chamber, a discussion among members recently focused on the unbelievable confusion that exists today through establishment of Monday holidays. What was intended as a move to create long weekends for workers, with the objective of uniform observances, has been disrupted through action by the state. And this action, at least in some cases, was occasioned through a demand by folks who fc. feel certain special holidays should not be moved about on the calendar. Concern at this moment is on Memorial day which is set as a federal holiday observance May 27 but which Illinois will commemorate May 30. Chamber board members sorted out the various people who would be observing the different days and concluded through surveys that the great majority of Chicago area businesses normally closed on Memorial day, will follow the May 30 schedule this year. The last word we had is that businesses in McHenry probably will observe this date also. But postal workers will be off May 27. Don't blame us if your Memorial day holiday isn't all it should be. We may decide tc vacation both days! K.A.F. INVESTIGATE VANDALISM OF AUTOS* BUSINESSES (Continued from page 1) S h o r e w o o d , M c H e n r y , informed county law authorities that she had left her auto parked alongside the road at 3Q20 N. Riverside drive Friday night when it developed mechanical trouble. When she returned to get it Saturday morning, she found rocks had been used to break windows. A plate glass window at the Adams Lawn and Leisure shop, 2103 W. Route 120, McHenry, was damaged early Saturday morning when someone fired a shot through it. Remains of the spent projectile were found on the floor inside the window. Adams Repair shop at 3102 Chapel Hill road, McHenry, reported that while the business place was closed Friday afternoon, someone apparently fired an air rifle and damaged glass in the front door of the shop. 13-YEAR OLD •CYCLIST INJURED IN COLLISION (Continued from page 1) to stop in time to avoid impact. A ticket for unsafe tires was issued to Richard Rupp of 1321 Lakeview, McHenry, after officers discovered his car Monday evening alongside Walkup road, one-fourth mile north of Crystal Springs road, south of McHenry. Evidence at the scene indicated the auto was north-bound on Walkup when the car went out of control and ran off the east side of the road. When Rupp was contacted later, he told officers another car forced him off the road by crossing into his lane. CITY COUNCIL APPROVES EDGAR PROPOSAL (Continued from page 1) just one giant step forward and I know there will be many more." Joe Nischan, realtor from Johnsburg, addressed the Council and asked its consideration on annexation of property north of the city. All the land in question lies on the west side of Route 31 from the former Jake Freund farm at the corner of McCullom Lake road northward to include the former Arnold Blake farm which is located just south of Johnsburg road. That farm is now owned by James Althoff. Nischan indicated that if annexation were possible, a ^planned unit development might be considered on 103 acres of the Althoff property. The realtor said he has a tentative agreement with property owners along the west side of the highway indicating they are willing to annex if the city would agree. Nischan was informed that before the Council considers the matter, the McHenry Plan commission and Zoning Board of Appeals must be contacted. The Council then acts on their recommendations. City Attorney Narusis reported that he and city officials had attended an I.C.C. hearing recently and presented the city's case for approval of the Lillian street railroad crossing. They felt a favorable decision would be returned to the city in two to four weeks. Mayor Stanek commended Narusis for the "tremendous job" he had done in presenting the city's case at the hearing. The examiners were very impressed with the city's summation as prepared by Narusis, Stanek said. Stanek read a letter he had written in connection with a hearing held last Wednesday in Chicago between the I.C.C. and the Chicago Northwestern Railroad. The CNWRR was asked to prove why it did not upgrade the tracks between McHenry and Lake Geneva and why it was not maintaining its timetable schedule. The hearing was postponed until May when further testimony will be presented. Alderman Pepping plans to attend that meeting as a representative of the city. Following a recommendation by the Fees and License committee, the Council moved to grant a license to Thomas Fanella of Ingleside for operation of a "Mr. Softee" franchise. "Mr. Softee" is a mobile ice cream unit, totally self-contained, which meets all health and road safety specifications, according to the application. Aldermen voted to establish one beer-and-wine liquor license and increase the number of Class "A" liquor licenses from sixteen to seventeen. Alderman Pepping related that notices have been sent to sprayer companies regarding the mosquito abatement program. Bid proposals are expected about May 1 and a contract will be entered into about May 20. Pepping suggested that the Mayor appoint a committee to begin making plans for the 1976 bicentennial year celebration. Stanek authorized Pepping to head a committee which includes Alderman Howard and Hromec. The Council moved to donate $1,000 to the American Legion athletic program for use in construction of a baseball field. The Legion sponsors a baseball team for boys and also other projects which benefit the children of this area, Mayor Standi pointed out. .
