Member Cal Skinner, Sr., asked for the total cost of the church property on adjoining property to the new courthouse. Skinner said he believes when the purchase price, remodeling, and other costs are added together, the figure will be very high. This building was bought as the courthouse was being constructed. Considerable discussion was held concerning the ad­ visability of placing Com­ monwealth Edison cables . underground now or at some^ future date. The anticipated expenditure of $2,000 has not been budgeted for this year, but members said the work is necessary some time. The matter was turned over to the Courthouse Operating and Finance committees for action. H.J. Curran Contracting Co. was approved in its bid of $116,950.69 for reconstruction of Bay road from Chapel Hill road to a point 0.34 miles east of Chapel Hill road and^ con-,; struction of a bituminous, concrete surface course from that point^to a point 0.21 miles west of Cuhlman road. A report of the Health and Agriculture committee- was discussed concerning various interpretations by divisions of the Illinois Environmental Protection agency concerning septic effluent disposal in a landfill. The board acted to Change precinct lines in three McHenry township precincts. The Precinct 23 * boundary was changed, resulting in an increase in registered voters from about 322 to 656 and Precinct 26 was decreased from 820 to 486. It was noted that Precinct 26 has growth possibilities, whereas Precinct 23 is boxed in with no growth potential. In addition. Precinct 15 was split at Bay road, and an ad­ ditional precinct (27) established in the township. 1 Among appointments, Dr. Santo Ruggero of Wonder Lake and Dr. - Robert Becker of Woodstock were appointed to three-year terms on the McHenry County Board of Health. Charles Weingart received a temporary ap­ pointment to December of 1975 on the same board. in fox Luncfi clcnnsz and coc/ztailk. - Tuesday thru Sunday - 9 </> f -lluncfi <Sfi£cLa[ § ' ^ § SUNDAY BRUNCH FROM f 11:30 to 2:30 > ® <Sfis.cia£ f ^ <?V -LJinnsx SERVED FROM 2:30-8:00 SUNDAY ONLY domfifefc 2^ Lnnex Jla fPeftte du 385-7495 2200 W. RAND RD. McHENRY isinz Concern was expressed for JUne expenditures in the Valley Hi Nursing home account, amounting to $511.40. Ad­ ministrator Morefield in­ dicated a shortage (ft registered nurses has made it nocessany to advertise for them. A resolution was approved to provide the -appellate services to prosecutors in the Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Ap­ pellate court districts. A notation was made of a controversy called to the at­ tention of the Zoning and Planning committee regarding a complaint of Mrs. Spring of Country club drive, McHenry.^ She expressed 'concern that land fill on neighboring property was causing drainage problems in this flood plain area. The sales tax for March was announced at $45,077.10. CITY APPROVES 27-ACRE LAND ANNEXATION (Continued from page 1) heads to examine estimated budgetary figures. They discovered that proposed budgeted* expenses amount to $1,017,868. Auditor North told the committee he had worked with the figures as presented and checked con­ templated income. He felt the "available funds that would be useable for the General fund would be, roughly $900,000." That is $117,000 short of what is budgeted, Pepping noted. Auditor North suggested approving the budget for the time being and have each department head operate with as much restraint as possible. He also advised reviewing the figures every month or two regarding income and expense and making modifications as the year progresses. Pepping also noted that the financial picture could brighten during the year in certain areas. For example, he said it woudl be difficult to envision whether or not all the money allocated for snow plowing would be needed since there is a weather factor involved. He also advised-deBprtment heads to think twice about hiring anyone to replace a lost em­ ployee at this time. If the picture doesn't brighten as we go through the year, Pepping said, other funds would haveTo be diverted into the General fund/S^e mentioned using revenue sharing money for this purpose. Pepping stressed that "this decision doesn't have to be made at this mojrient because we are not at thstt point in time yet." "As Auditor North indicated, the' best thing we can do now is to hope that we get some%reaks and things will work out," Pepping said. Mayor Stanek pointed out that the cjty's financial ^ . . situation is a "dilemma that all government bodies are, facing right now. Most of this is just plain old inflation," he stated. He pointed to the expfense of chemicals used in the sewer plant at about $17,000 "to put pure water in that river"; over $20,000 for the electric bill at the sewer plant; "paying our police and, various city employees well"; increased cost of pension plans and social security; increased cost of insurance; "cost of blacktopping is up way up"; cost of gasoline is up 30 to 40 percent and we need all these things." The Council agreed to approve the advisory budget which Attorney Narusis termed "only a fiscal disciplinary tool". & In other business, Alderman George Harker, chairman of the Streets and Sidewalk committee, presented the 1975 street maintenance program for Council approval. Cost of the project as submitted by Curran Contracting 6f Crystal Lake was $65,415. Harker reported that the contractor indicated to him that work could be started within a ten-day period. The Council gave unanimous approval to the program. Portions of the following city streets are scheduled for repair in the 1975 summer' maintenance program: Beach, Sunset, Shore, Lawn, Bonner, Eastern, Flower, Home, P a r k w a y , R a m b l e , Commercial, Court, Park, Broad, Millstream, North, Calista, Mill, Clover, Timothy, Lee, John, Victoria, Crescent, Charlotte, James, Kane, Linda, Ronda and Skyway. Harker and Supt. Fred Meyer agreed with other aldermen that there are other streets in the city which are also in need of repair but Harker said his committee concentrated its efforts on repairing the worst streets first. Mrs. Pat Stamos of Lakeland Park appeared before the Council seeking information on ftovKto obtain or transfer a liauor license. She explained she was in the process of purchasing the Green Pearl at W. Pearl street. City Attorney Narusis gave her information on how to proceed in accordance with city ordinances and her transfer request was given tentative approval by the Council. A final bill from Curran Contracting for resurfacing Lillian street was approved in the amount of $18,387.08. The money for payment will be taken from Revenue Sharing funds as had been allocated previously. Two committee meetings have been scheduled by their chairman.

MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) Before the end of the year, the Federal Reserve system will have had the time to supply the nation's eommerical banks with ' the newly re-designed quarter and dollar. These coins are symbols of the nation's 200 years of freedom --small links with our historical and cultural heritage that .will touch the hands of everyone in the country. K.A.F. BUSINESSES AND HOMES TARGETS OF BURGLAkS (Continued from page 1) from an overnight camping trip last Friday afternoon, he discovered someone had entered the home during his absence. The bedrooms had been searched and it was determined that about $150 in silver coins in an old milk bottle and about $54 from children's piggy banks along with a Polaroid Land camera were missing from the premises. Meats, fish, liquor, cigarettes and money from a vending machine were taken during burglary at the Lost Valley restaurant, 1605 Route 12, Spring Grove, last Friday night. The safe had been moved near a door but there was no apparent effort to open it, deputies reported. Deputies were called to investigate the report of a possible burglary in progress at the McHenry American Legion home at 2505 N. Ringwood road last Wednesday morning about 1 o'clock. Inspection of the building revealed a window had been broken on the southwest side of the building. On checking the interior, deputies found evidence that a cash register tray had been moved and doors of a beer cooler were left open. It was determined nothing had been taken. Mack Neff of 2311 Country lane, McHenry, informed authorities that sometime, Thursday night, someone stole an antique bath tub from his pasture at Chapel Hill and Lincoln road where it had been used to supply water for his horses. Two bicycles were reported stolen by Jesse Watkins of 707 Columbus, McHenry, Monday afternoon. The bicycles were taken from the yard. The bikes were described as two Coast to Coast 20-inch bicycles, one was a boy's yellow model and the other was a girl's light green model. While investigating the above theft, deputies were notified that a Wards 26-inch, 10-speed boy's yellow bicycle had been taken from the front yard of the William Miles home at 703 Columbus, McHenry, the same day. Monday evening, Richard Ralph of 710 S. Emerald drive, reported that a Sears Free Spitit white ten-speed bicycle /had b^fcn stolen from his open garage sometime Sunday night or Monday morning.

The three staff members at the school, including Director Clvde Leonard* will » monitor all "learning * contracts" the students enter into, and will seek to provide the educational approach or . combination of ap­ proaches best suited to t h e s t u d e n t s ' educational needs. Parents and other interested community people have been largely responsible for getting this new "Alternative school" off •£« the ground. It will depend on them for support, guidance,and criticism when it is deserved. Anyone interested in finding out more about the program, or serving on advisory committee which will help to guide the general policies and educational programs of the school, should plan to attend a meeting at the "White House" July 16, 7:30 p.m. Superintendent of Schools Richard Swantz ^vvill introduce Clyde „£Onard, who has ecently been employed s director of the new school. Usable couches, chairsf rugs, books, magazines and other miscellaneous tyems are needed for the school. These will be picked up if a call is made to Leonard at the ad­ ministration office. EXPLORE SCHOOL FUTURE PLAN (Continued from page 1) After a considerable ex­ change of ideas, Member Phillip Bartmann admitted that through the discussion he had changed his mind and now feels the 1-3 plan is best. As the conversation came to a conclusion, it was noted that the expressions of the board and administration were not final, but would be considered along with the views of other educational committees studying the matter. It was generally admitted that the final decision is dependent on the outcome of the Johnsburg vote for a separate unit district. Althoff then suggested the possibility of building an economical, large steel building adjoining the West campus to house all sports activities, complete with gymnasium. This plan would call for all vocational classes around the perimeter of the new gym, within the steel building. The board president cited a probable cost of about $10 a -fopt compared to a much higher figure for other type con­ struction. It was noted that construction is possible over the present gym for classroom space on both levels. Members were generally in agreement that eventually it will be necessary to build a new school "on a most appropriate location to be decided later". A letter was approved, to be sent to Governor Walker op­ posing Senate Bill 1371 and asking approval of Senate Bill 1493 and House Bill 2971. The board learned via television Wednesday night (after the meeting) that the Governor refused to sign Senate Bill 1493 which would have provided full funding of the state aid formula. The House bill urged by the local school board would endorse a new formula for state aid and would distribute funds in a different way which would be more advantageous to this area. No,action has been taken by the Governor on this bill. No action has been an- JYoung 'Cyclist Escapes Serious Crash Injuries Nine-year-old Robert A. Hildebrandt of 1410' N. Rich­ mond road, McHenry, was not seriously injured Tuesday after he was hit by a car while riding his bicvcle on the sidewalk just east of the Millstream bridge on Elm street. According to city police, Darlene M. Lawler of 3212 W. Golfview, McHenry, was west­ bound on Elm street in front of the firehouse, when she turned into the city parking lot on the south side of the street. As she made her turn, she saw the Hildebrandt boy riding_west on the sidewalk. She applied her brakes but could not avoid impact with the 'cycle. The boy fell, hitting his face on the handlebars. He was taken to the hospital by the McHenry Rescue squad, where he was treated fot minor injuries and released. Both drivers were ticketed following a car-motorcycle accident on Route 120, just west of Industrial drive, last Wed­ nesday afternoon. Karen E. Covalt of 3719 Nt Hillcrest Place, McHenry, was ticketed for improper lane usage and the driver of the motorcycle, Lawrence J. Giurlani of 3701 N Spring Grove road, McHenry, was cited for violation of classification. Ms. Covalt was west-bound on the highway in front of the McHenry Market Place in the inside lane. Giurlani was west­ bound on his motorcycle on the outside or curb lane. According to the report, Ms. Covalt signaled her intention to pull to the outside lane to make a turn into the Market Place parking lot and crowded Giurlani off the roadway He received minor injuries but refused transportation to the hospital. McHenry police were called to the Chicago & Northwestern railroad station last Friday morning when it was reported by railroad authorities that an unruly person was causing trouble on the train. The train was enroute to Lake Geneva from Chicago. When the train arrived at 10 a.m., officers were summoned to a coach by the conductor. They found Joseph P. Salerno of 115 Perth road, Cary, in a seat in an unconscious con­ dition. He appeared intoxicated and was having trouble breathing. Authorities could not rouse the man and he was taken from the train by Officer John Langdon. While placing Salerno on the ground his head fell and hit the platform. The rescue squad was called to take Salerno to McHenry hospital for a check-up. Scott A. Moore of 3932 Shorewood drive, McHenry, was cited for improper passing after he collided with a car driven by Larry E. Lund of 3208 of 3208 W Fairway, McHenry.

Moore told police he thought Lund was trying to make a left turn but changed his mind. Moore speeded up to get into traffic but impact occurred. Johnsburg District In Plans For School Vote Johnsburg Elementary school district officials were informed early this week that the Illinois Office of Education in Springfield had acted favorably on the petition of Johnsburg citizens to form a separate unit school district within the present confines of Johnsburg School District 12. The state acted after reviewing testimony presented at a May 7. 1975, hearing in^ Woodstock by Richard L. Tazewell, McHenry county superintendent educational service region. It was indicated by Tazewell as a component of nounced either on the Senate bill opposed by the local board. If passed, this bill would call for a state education hearing of­ ficer to preside every time a teacher dismissal is imminent. Don Anderson of the firm of Anderson, Rehder and Yandre, Waukegan, attended to present a written report on his life safety study of the McHenry high schools. Questions were asked from board members. Recommendations include improvements on the pool, cafeteria and air conditioning unit at West, ancKTh^ roof, water conditioned and water heater at East. J Estimated cost of the im­ provements was listed at $300,000. Board members ex­ pressed concern with a method of financing such an ex­ penditure. Anderson pointed out that one way might be to sell life safety fund bonds, and another would be to go to a referendum. He added that in making the survey, the state asks a firm to tell the urgency of its recom­ mendations. Anderson noted that there is urgency in all of the items mentioned. Althoff received the support of members on a letter he had signed, to be sent to Senator .Jack Schaffer, who is sup­ porting Senate Bill 505. Althoff pointed out that this bill removes all power from the school board in negotiating salaries "and discharging teachiers. He explained provisions of the bill that call for a decision at the state level if a board feels a teacher has been in the wrong and dismissal is desirable. :] McHenry -- , BANK 11 385-1040 MURPHY'S CORNER GILMER ROAD - V0L0 NEW HOURS SAME PRICES WED.-THURS.-FRL" 6 A.M. to 10 P.M.

According to information received from the McHenry county superintendent's office, since the state has now con­ curred with the decision of the county superintendent in this matter, a vote will be held Aug. 16. 1975, relating to the matter as called by the county superintendent of schools. Only registered voters residing in Johnsburg Public School District 12 will be allowed to vote on this matter. At Tuesday evening's Johnsburg school board of education meeting, procedures for collecting further data relating to the matter, disseminating information, involving citizenry, com­ municating with McHenry High School District 156, and necessary tasks that need to be accomplished between now and Aug. 16 were discussed. A series of coffees and in­ formational meetings will be held in conjunction with the matter during the next five weeks and the "pros" and "cons" of forming a separate unit district will be explored in detail. This means that the voters of Johnsburg School District 12 will have a choice as to whether at this point in time they would prefer to build a high school and educate pupils K-12 rather than on the present K-8 arrangemnt or to remain with McHenry High School District 156 and their building and educational plans, which is expected to be more clearly defined in the near future.
