YOUTH KILLED IN CRASH (Continued from page 1) pronounced dead on arrival at the same hospital, where he >vas taken by the Wonder Lake Rescue squad. Sheriff's police had only the statement made by the third driver, Stephen D. Whitehead 3f 3019 N. Ringwood road, who was accompanied by his brother, Timothy, 15. The Whiteheads said they were driving south on Barnard Mill road, about four or five car engths behind the Bauer car. Stephen told deputies he was unsure of the speed but knew ooth he and Randy were' driving in excess of the stated limit. He explained that he knew where the Bauers lived and saw Randy either downshift or brake suddenly, after which the car went out of control. The driver left the right side of the road, then returned and began to yaw and travel sideways. Whitehead said the Bauer auto crossed the center line and struck Mergl in the north-bound lane. Whitehead said he tried to get out of the way, but the left rear of his car struck one of the other vehicles and he plunged into the ditch. Neither brother was hurt, but their car took down a line of fencing. It was reported that Rescue squad members had to cut away part of the Mergl car to extricate one of the passengers. Randy Bauer was born June 22, 1957, in Woodstock. He was very activr in the Busy Three 4- H club and took a great interest in the operation of the family farm. Besides his parents, Roland and Georgia Bauer, he leaves one brother, Kevin, of Ringwood and three sisters, Noreen, Janet and Jennifer at home; two grandmothers, Mrs. Frances Schmitt and Mrs. Olivia Bauer, of McHenry. <The body was scheduled to rest at the Peter M. Justen & Son chapel after 3 o'clock Thursday. A funeral Mass will be offered at 10 o'clock Friday at Christ the King Catholic church, Wonder Lake. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Johnsburg and Wonder Lake rescue squads TWO ACCIDENTS FOR LOCAL DRIVER WITHIN ONE HOUR (Continued from page 1) Vince D. Martin, Jr., of 4808 Barnard Mill road, Ringwood, and his passenger, Victor Zielinski, of 1937 N. Leavitt, Chicago, were taken to McHenry hospital by the McHenry Rescue squad after an accident in Lakemoor Sunday morning about 1:10 a.m. Martin was west-bound on Route 120, near Tia Juana drive, when he lost consciousness while driving and hit a utility pole. Martin attributed his physical condition to a head injury he had received earlier in the day. Erwin P. Jend of 2714 N. Stilling, -McHenry, escaped injury Sunday evening when his car overturned on Fox Lake road just north of Nippersink drive, Pistakee Highlands. Jend said an oncoming truck in his lane caused him to swerve to avoid impact. He lost control of his car, hit a steep ditch and overturned. Monica L. Ellis of 3604 Johnsburg road, McHenry, was ticketed for leaving the scene of an accident involving property damage after her car ran off the road and damaged a mail box and several small trees at 3515 N. Riverside drive just south of Johnsburg road. Ms. Ellis was north-bound on Riverside drive early Saturday morning when a car came into her lane of traffic. She told deputies she took her foot off the gas pedal but it stuck. In order to avoid an accident, she swerved and dmaged property along the road. Ollie C. Mandrell of 5317 Hill road, Richmond, and her two children, Sarah and Tammy; were taken to McHenry hospital by the Richmond Rescue squad for checkups following a two-car accident on Route 12 in Richmond. Saturday night about 11 p.m., a car driven by Loren D. Uselton of 10004 Golf, Richmond, had stopped on the highway waiting to make a left turn into a drive-in when it was hit from behind by the Mandrell vehicle. ACCEPT BID FOR LILLIAN STREET (Continued from page 1) Gerstad mentioned that in other articles, the sales price of $67,000 has been mentioned. However, there is a five-year term, without interest, which when applied to the sales price makes the price even more attractive, he pointed out. "The Robino-Ladd company has met the terms and conditions requested by the Water and Sewer committee and I understand that we are in conformity with appraisal of the systems," Gerstad stated. "I see no beneficial reasons for delay, except to delay progress," he concluded. Mrs. Harold Bowlin of Lakeland Park, who was in the audience, took exception to Gerstad's letter. She said she had talked to the attorney general down town and "he specifically said that a delay was decided upon in our hearing at the request of Mr. Solomon," attorney for Ladd. It was also approved by Hearing Officer Kelly in Woodstock, she said. She felt that Gerstad's theory that the complainants had not complied with the hearing officer's orders was inaccurate. She also noted that the two cases (Lakeland Park complainants and EPA officials) have not been combined as yet by the Hearing board. The Council made no comment on Gerstad's letter or Mrs. Bowlin's remarks. Alderman James Wegener explained that his absence at the last meeting occurred because he was on vacation with his family and not because he knew the Combined Counties Police association (CCPA) was making another presentation at the meeting. The vacation had been planned months in advance, he stated. Wegener commented he agreed with the Council's decision at that meeting, not to change its position on recognizing the CCPA as a bargaining agent for McHenry policemen. Remarking on a comment made by a member of the CCPA after the last meeting that a collection was being taken to send a certain alderman to Russia, Wegener wryly noted that he hadn't checked to see how the money was coming in. A policeman in the audience asked, "Could we reply to that, fella?" His comment was ignored by the Council. Peter Hellios addressed the Council in support of the McHenry chapter of the CCPA and of unions in general. He contended that the Council would not let new people come Mrs. Mandrell told deputies she saw no turn signals prior to impact. In checking, deputies found the left tail light on Uselton's auto was not operating after the accident. No tickets were issued.

He argued that changes would have to be made. „ When asked by Alderman Ed Datz where he lived, Hellios replied, "I don't live here but I will be moving in the near future I live in Wonder Lake." A l d e r m a n H r o m e c announced that the policemen had extended ̂ n invitation to alderman to ride with them in the squad cars and accompany them on their rounds. They felt it would give the Council a better understanding of what goes on aqd what a police officer is faced with in the execution of his duties. When asked if this project had been approved by Police Chief Espey, Mrs. Hromec said the invitation came from individual policemen. Mayor Stanek mentioned that aldermen are covered by insurance for projects such as this He said the Police commission board feels accompanying men on their rouncjs would help the Council to understand the situation better A l d e r m a n H r o m e c commented that she had heard the communication desk women were now receiving less money even though their pay raises are in effect. Communication personnel's hours were cut from 44 to 40 hours a week. Yet Mrs. Hromec thought it had been determined at an earlier meeting that the raise in pay would defray the cut in hours. Rogers replied that communications personnel had reauested a weeklv hour reduction of four hours which is in the area of 10 percent. Since their raise was also in the area of 10 percent, it probably offset itself, he added. "Was that the intention of the Finance committee, to give them less money," Mrs. Hromec asked? Rogers assured "her it was not. Earl Murray, chairman of the Police commission board, asked that the report presented by his board four weeks ago be placed on the agenda for the next meeting for action. The report involves purchase of equipment for the police department and a recommendation for five additional policemen. Mayor Stanek instructed the Council to study the report and be ready to act on it at the next meeting. Alderman William Bolger commented that since the tax money is not coming in because tax bills are not out as yet, he -didn't see how the Council could act on it. He felt the Council would have to hold back on this. Chain Of Lakes Agency To Include Fox River I'AGE 17 - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY, JULY I, IfM Authorities Investigate Garage Fire 1 By a \o\M of 53 to 1, an Illinois State Senate bill was passed y#uld provide for the recreation for the Chain of Lakes commission for an additional two years, rename the Chain of Lakes-Fox River commission and include that part of the Fox river between the McHenry and Algonquin dam for the first time. The bill was sponsored in the Senate by Senator Jack Walther Schaede! of Lakeland Park asked if the city has a tornado ordinance. He was informed there is a warning device but was told the city didn't have the authority to specify rules in private places of business. Alderman Donald Howard asked Attorney Narusis to check into what areas are being considered for dredging in the Fox river. A news release indicated money has been appropriated for this project and Howard wondered if possibly Boone creek might be eligible. Howard also asked the Streets and Sidewalk committee to investigate complaints he has received recently about traffic being backed up on Front and Elm while people are utilizing the drive-in windows at the First National bank. In other business, the Council signed a one-year lease agreement with the VFW for use Of the baseball parks at a cost of $1,000. This is the fourth year the agreement has been made. It is hoped that ball fields in the new park will be available for use next year. The Council also approved the annual prevailing v age scale ordinance and a tag day for the Wonder Lake Boy's League. The next meeting of the Council is scheduled for Monday, July 15, at 8 p.m. in city hall. F R E E H E A R I N G T E S T S S E T F O R W E D S 1 5 P M R.O.

Senator Schaffer expressed great satisfaction about the inclusion of the Fox river in the new commission. He stated, "The problems facing the Chain of Lakes and the Fox river in the next few years will need the active support of all interested parties in Lake and McHenry ... county. This commission will provide an' effective vehicle for all of us who are concerned about the Chain of Lakes and Fox river to work together to solve the problems related to flooding water quantity and recreational uses of the lakes and river." The Illinois legislature has also acted favorably on two measures to provide additional money for flood control on the river and lakes.^ The bill was sponsored in the House of Representatives William J Murphy (R-Fox Lake) and Thomas J Hanahan (D-McHenry) TRUCK FIRE About $500 dama;r,o resulted from the backfire of a van-type truck on Rt. 120 early Saturday afternoon.
