EXTERIOR 909 N. FRONT McHENRY PHONE 385-1424 ANNEXATION DISCUSSED BY CITY PLAN, AGENCY (Continued from page 1) users of city services would be taxed consistently higher to maintain sewer, water and other city facilities, Pepping said. e , As an example, Stanek noted that Miller Formless manufactures machines which sell for $60,000. This would produce $600 in sales tax for the city^ He also pointed out that one- half of the city's income is from sales tax. "The lion's share of city sales tax comes from the food stores," Stanek said. Approximately $50,000 a year from eath of the major food stores is realized by the city. Everyone at the meeting seemed to agree with Stanfck that annexation of the Glosson property should be permitted. They also felt it would be in the best interest of the city to ex-' tend water service to the new developments along Ringwood road. Sewer lines are already in the area to the west of Lakeland Park. Stanek and Alclerman George Harker concurred that the city "-can't allow that private water supply to expand and increase its value and give part of our citizens inferior water at a price that is dear". It was felt water lines should be extended from proposed Well No. 5 located on Beach drive along the highway to the annexed properties. Boyd Knaack, president of West Shore Beach Property Owners association, presented that subdivision's request that none of its streets be connected with streets in the annexed Miller property. He also stated that the majority of property owners in that subdivision are not interested in annexation at this time. The Lakeland Park Property Owners association was^con- cerned with possible diversion of water to McCullom Lake as well as silt and pollution problems. It was explained that the Miller land is a natural water shed property that flows into the lake. "Any water that would be diverted away would hurt the lake in the long run," a representative said. The association was also concerned with possible con­ tamination of the lake from road run-off water if a great deal of salt should be used on the roads during the winter. Supt. Fred Meyer explained that very little salt is used since he feels it is detrimental to the roads. Discussion was held on cleaning up a ditch in the West Shore Beach-Lakeland Park perimeter which would allow flow into the Lakeland Park drainage ditch as well as into McCullom Lake. Everyone seemed favorable to Stanek's suggestion that developers should be asked to contribute, possibly to schools and othei* governing bodies which the city is not directly connected with.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Montini Board Reorganizes; Change Primary Session Time Tom Harrison, Jr., was re­ elected president of the Montini Catholic school board at the July reorganization meeting. Willard Pierce is the new vice- president and Mrs. Renee Freund was elected secretary. Newly elected and appointed board members, Don Pascarella, Ken Diedrich and John Catanzaro, were seated and began their terms as board members. Dick Glawe, director of transportation for Districts 15 and 156, visited the board and asked members to consider having the primary center in session from 7:50 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. instead of 8:45 a.m. to 3:30 D.m. as last year. Glawe explained that this would allow this program to eliminate double bus runs. Board members expressed concern about primary age children riding buses with high school children. However, Glawe assured the board that this would not happen and that primary center students would ride buses by themselves and- or with middle school children. With this assurance, the board approved his proposal and thus, the primary center's school day will be from 7:50 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for 1975-76. In other business, the board accepted the 1975-76 check from the McHenry County Catholic Education foundation in the amount of $780; approved the hiring of two teachers, James Collins and Mrs. Catherine Prendergast for the Middle school; and heard Administrator Ron Svoboda explain the Language Arts and Reading curriculum at the Middle school for the cominp year.
