Alderman Bolger reported that a meeting of the Water and Sewer committee will be held Monday, Oct. 13, in the Council chambers at 8 p.m. with people from the Country Club Estates area That subdivision Js requesting the extension of sewer lines to the area through a special assessment. Bolger explained to persons from the area" that the city is morally bound to go by the majority rule. If 55 or 60 per­ cent request sewer service, the city will probably go ahead, he said. If they can't get 50 per­ cent. it probably won't be done, Bolger pointed out. "We are purposely holding the meeting at 8 p.m. so commuters can get here," Bolger said. "We want everything on the table so everyone knows what their request is," he concluded. Regarding other Sewer and Water matters, Bolger related that a committee meeting had been held prior to the regular Council meeting. Francis Higgins of Northern Illinois Utilities, Inc., which owns the Lakeland Park Water com­ pany, requested a meeting with the Sewer and Water com­ mittee He asked that com­ mittee if the city would be in a position to furnish water to the Lakeland Park subdivision. Bolger reported, "We discussed it and told him we were not in a position to give him a yes or no answer. We let it go at that," he added. The committee told Higgins it would sit down in other meetings throughout the winter and discuss it with him. Bolger said Higgins was told it would take Council action to effect such a request. In answer to a question by Alderman LaVerne Hromec, Attorney Narusis replied that deliberations of a Zoning Board of Appeals are open to the public and are conducted under the Open Meetings act. Mrs. Hromec thought it would be helpful to those in attendance at zoning hearings if the board would announce if it intended to go into deliberations immediately following the formal hearing so interested persons could remain if they wished. Alderman Walther Schaedel furnished National Resources inventory for each alderman and asked that they read it at their leisure in connection with the proposed development of Brittany Builders. •"LaVerne and I are very concerned for our ward in reference to Brittany Builders building next to us," Schaedel said "We are quite concerned with the poor soil conditions," he added. He wanted aldermen to be aware that "we could run into difficulties if it wasn't pursued in the correct way." Stanek said this matter was discussed at the zoning hearing but the sworn testimony under oath allayed all the ap­ prehensions he had. He pointed out that the developers had soil borings and went into the matter in detail. Alderman Edward Datz, who is chairman of the Plan com­ mission, expressed his opinion when he said, "I ask just one thing, please let's not pre judge this whole thing until we take this in appropriate steps or we will get it completely out of context." He stressed that the Zoning board's responsibility was one singular thing and that is merely approving' or disap­ proving the zoning. The engineering and all the other problems wil be resolved in subsequent hearings, he noted. Mayor Stanek reported that he had sent letters to area service organizations asking for donations to pay for various park improvements. To date, he has received a $210 check from the Lions and a $700 water fountain which is to be installed in Petersen park. He added that he and Alderman Pepping had also made a presentation before the Kiwanis club and members appeared receptive. The Council was hopeful that other organizations would express interest and a presentation could be made before other groups. It was decided to establish a Park Development fund where designated funds could be kept segregated for park use. Payment was made to Buss Motor Sales in the amount of $8,590 for a 1975 truck for use by the Sewer and Water depart­ ment. Regarding the annual fall pickup of leaves in the city, Alderman Harker and Supt. Fred Meyer were instructed to proceed with arrangements for leaf pickup and disposal the same as last year. Alderman Harker, who is chairman of the Street and Sidewalk committee, told the Council his group was holding discussions with Com­ monwealth Edison in an at­ tempt to find a way to install lights along Route 120 in Lakeland Park. He assured them the matter was being handled as fast as possible. Alderman Pepping of the Finance committee reported that this group had granted a request from the Police commission to raise the con­ tractual rate of pay for secretarial help from $3.50 to $4 per hour. Pepping also noted that the Finance committee will hold a joint meeting with the In­ surance committee Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. Discussion will be held on the increased rate of insurance for city employees and various alternatives for meeting the increased costs.

Tyrrell stated that if there was wrong doing on the part of any of his men, action would be taken against them but it would be taken "without any political interference whatsoever" and it would be brought about "in the proper way". Twelve men from the Sheriff's department were on the scene at the time of the disturbance and about twenty- four or twenty-five police of­ ficers in total. It was deter­ mined that in excess of 200 people were involved in the actual incident in that police were attempting to remove that many from the grounds. Regarding an allegation made by Hellios that he had been badly hurt by officers in the incident, Tyrrell said there were no indications from the doctor's report that Hellios had been badly hurt. Tyrrell pointed out there were reports that his officers had used force to restrain persons. Tyrrell explained that when you have 200 people creating a problem in an area, the main thing is to get the problem people out of the area so you can control the situation and for the safety of all the other people. "I understand Hellios was one of the main problems in the area. It was reported he was fighting all the way," Tyrrell said. It was acknowledged that Hellios had been hit in the back with a club by a Lake county deputy. When asked if he thought the Democratic party would go along with backing Kelly, Tyrrell replied that he was not speaking for Rep. Thomas Hanahan, who is chairman of the Democratic Central committee, but he didn't think Hanahan would tolerate having "a rnan such as this" running on the ticket. "I would hope this would be his reaction," Tyrrell stated. He did mention that as far as he knew, Kelly had not made any public announcement of his intention to run. Tyrrell explained that he had been attending the FBI academy at Quantico, Va., and returned to the county Monday, Sept. 29. He had been made aware of the Johnsburg in­ cident by Chief Deputy Henry Nulle and Captain Robert Crabtree of his department via telephone conversations. When informed that there was "a possibility of some political problems," Tyrrell ordered Lt. Det. George Hendle to conduct a thorough in­ vestigation of the situation. That report is expected to be completed the first of next week. Battery Charged In Tavern Fight A fight at the Hitching Post Tavern, 207 Burnett road, Island Lake, Saturday night, resulted in injury to one man and the arrest of another. Harvey Guthrie of 612 Columbus, McHenry, was charged with aggravated battery after he allegedly hit Patrick Sullivan of 129 W. Maple street, Wauconda, in the head with a pool cue.

Harvey, 4904 Clair, Crystal Lake, two counts RICHARD KELLY SPEAKS OUT . . . (Continued From Page 11 I don't know whether it meant he would support me against Bill Cowlin or whether it meant he would support me if I ran on a Republican ticket, but he did make tnat statement to me," Kelly said. "During our private conversation, I did not tell him that I would commit myself to run for state's attorney on any ticket," Kelly explained. He felt his conference with Tyrrell was of a private nature "between two friends" and didn't think it would be made public through a news conference. "And I will categorically state at this time that I do not intend to run against Bill Cowlin for state's attorney in this county," he continued. However, he did admit that this does not rule out his ever running for state's attorney. When asked if he would run if Cowlin didn't, Kelly said he would consider it. Kelly did indicate he would tender his resignation to State's Attorney William J. Cowlin, effective Dec. 1. Kelly said on Sept. 19, he contacted Chief Deputy Henry Nulle, who was acting sheriff while Tyrrell was at the FBI academy, after receiving a complaint from Peter Hellios concerning his arrest on Sept. 14 at Johnsburg. Kelly said he and his chief investigator, interviewed one witness to the incident. He would not disclose the name of that witness. He met with Nulle and told him he thought it would be "in the best interest of the Sheriff's department and for the credibility of law enforcement in this community that I not pursue it any further if the Sheriff's department would concur in a decision to drop the charges in return for civil releases." Nulle said he would have to consult with the sheriff. He returned shortly and said he "concurred with that arrangement and I should enter into negotiations with Peter Hellios and his attorney, Theodore J. Floro, to see the matter was disposed of in that fashion." The State's Attorney's office stopped its investigation after the agreement was reached between that office and the Sheriff's department. However, Kelly said the Sheriff's department indicated to him it would conduct an internal investigation in case there was the possibility of charges being brought before the Merit commission regarding deputies' behavior at the incident. Kelly said that charges against the other five persons involved in the incident were not dropped because they did not complain about their arrest as Hellios did. Kelly said it was his idea to bring the matter up before the Grand jury, not Tyrrell's. When Tyrrell agreed, Kelly told him to get all the people who witnessed the arrest of Hellios before the Grand jury Wednesday. This was to include McHenry and Lake county officers as well as civilians. However, Kelly noted, on the day of the Grand jury meeting, only seven McHenry county deputies appeared at the hearing "and all took the Fifth amendment". Kelly said he had made no recommendations to the Grand jury but did inform them they could take three courses of action: 1-Choose to indict anyone they wished for whatever offense they felt was applicable; 2-They could indict no one and indicate they didn't wish to hear any further witnesses in the matter; or 3-Continue the case for further investigation and if they wished, Kelly would refer the Grand jury transcript to Attorney General Scott's office, and to U.S. Attorney General Samuel Skinner. The Grand jury chose the third course of action. The Grand jury said it also fished to continue the case for further investigation because jury members wanted to hear from Lake county officers at the scene and from Officer Robert Winters of the McHenry Police department, who was also at the scene. Too, the Jury wanted to see the conclusion of the investigation being made by the Sheriff's department. Main Bank: Drive-in Bank: 1 1 8 S .

Weather is never the same. The same conditions may exist, but the weather you are experiencing today --the gases that are above you-have probably come from hundreds of miles away in the past twenty-four hours. In the United States the movement of weather is generally from west to east and seldom does a time come when this trend is not in effect. The air you breathe today was not in your area yesterday.Experts have estimated that it usu­ ally was several hundred miles westward yesterday. This does not mean that clear air hundreds of miles to the west cannot become moist or cloudy by the time it reaches you.
