Also $360 million would return to local governments in the state to fix 116,000 miles of local roads in addition to the $266 million that presently is being turned back. Jack Petersen of the program office IDOT distributed han­ douts that illustrated three levels of what could be done; "fall behind option" with no change in present tax struc­ tures," keep pace option" in­ dexing fuel tax to economy and adjustments in vehicle registration fees of $2 per year for small cars and $3 for larger cars; and finally the "move ahead option", which would include the tax and fee in­ creases outlined by Lowrey. Suzanne Grosser, RTA of­ ficials, outlined the RTA Fiscal Year 1980 to 84 proposed transit program with the pioposed program and budget for 1980. A public hearing on the proposal is scheduled at McHenry West high school campus at 7:30 p.m. May 2 for all interested parties. Ms. Grosser set the total cost of the proposed 1980 operating program as $365,100,000 with the following explanations: existing service, $312,300,000; service improvements $13,500,000, which includes new bus service $6,700,000, special services $1,900,000, and new rail service $4,900,000; reduced fare program $3,600,000 (aged, disabled etc.); ridership development and information $5,100,000; administration $16,800,000; unified work program $100,000; other RTA obligations (loan repayments interest etc.,) $13,700,000. Richard Klemm, chairman of the County board, asked what the income figures were for the budget. Ms. Grosser said that more than 55 percent would be obtained from operations and if the gas tax goes through, there will be a deficit of $29 million. Rose Lillegard, former president of McHenry Shores, asked if the 1 percent sales tax in the six-county RTA area was approved for RTA support in place of the gas tax which could expire in October as RTA board member Baldino had proposed, would the gas tax then go back to the counties for their use. Andy Szakos, county RTA representative, said the budget was based on the projected transportation needs. Ms. Grosser said the gas tax could be used to eliminate the possible deficit. MAYOR SUGGESTS OPPOSITION TO BARGAINING (Continued from page 1) it would aid in getting PTI sessions in the area. A committee was designated to select candidates for officers for the McHenry County Municipal association for next year. It was revealed, when Stanek was almost named to the committee, that he is probably slated to serve as president for the coming year. Mayor Kuhn was named to be a candidate for - NIPC representative from the Mayor's association to replace Rose Lillegard, who lost her seat as village president of McHenry Shores in a recent election. Mrs. Lillegard ad­ vised the association that they should nominate someone who can disagree with considerable conviction.

Dan DeRoche of the ad­ ministrative staff gave board members a curriculum update and reported on the new testing program carried out in the first through eighth grades. DeRoche also commented on a state mandated Physical Education program. Asked what subjects would be eliminated to provide for the new requirement, DeRoche said he didn't know but assured members it would not be from the Reading program. He expressed some dismay over the difficulty caused because so many programs are mandated.

Curran explained that she had been enrolled in a pre- kindergarten school and suggested that District 15 might test her and the child be interviewed by the teacher. Curran said he understands the policy of the district r e g a r d i n g e n t r a n c e requirements but felt an ex­ ception might be made in view of the circumstances.

In the reorganization meeting, Tim Althoff was elected president and Gary Lock wood, president pro-tem. Dorothy Vick was named secretary for another year and Joan Miller, a new member, secretary pro-tem. When the matter of com­ pensation for the secretary was brought before the board, Mrs. Vick noted that the service was not too time-consuming and moved that there be no com­ pensation. Landis, assistant superin­ tendent for Operational Ser­ vices, was named treasurer. The McHenry State bank was designated as depository of funds. The law firm of Robbins, Sch­ wartz, Nicholas and Lifton, Chicago, was again appointed as legal counsel on the same basis, that the retainer fee will not exceed $150 a month and that one of the principal members of the firm be present at each meeting. Business meetings were again designated to be held at the administration office on the second Tuesday of the month and the educational meetings at the various schools on the fourth Tuesdays. Committee appointments will be made next month, and members were urged to suggest those areas of education in which they have the greatest desire to serve. The three new members, Joan Miller, Willis W. Martin and Karen Salman were in­ troduced by the superin­ tendent, Dr. Richard Farmer following certification of results of the April election. Prior to the reoganization following the April 14 election, President M. David Cain cautioned the new board not to get bogged down in trivia. He spoke of ideas he carried with him as a new board member, adding that he has a different perspective as he leaves. Cain did not seek reelection. Anna Mae Cuda also ad­ dressed the board briefly and expressed satisfaction in working with school matters during several terms. Tim Althoff then read a resolution, expressing ap­ preciation for the service of the three retiring members, in­ cluding Robert Thornton, who was not present. After the executive session, the board voted to name the district's law firm as professional negotiator in staff negotiations. Also, the first day of June (a Friday) was declared to be the last school day for the year. FIREFLY CANDLES Set of 3. MCC Reg. $7.79 $£67 8 pc.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Clear Driver After Striking Pedestrian A McHenry area man was struck by a car early Saturday morning as he was walking on River road, but the driver was not blamed. Clifford J. Jensen, 902 N. Plymouth Lane, was driving the 1973 Oldsmobile that struck Jeffery S. Borter, 2614 Indian Trail, McHenry. Jensen told police he was driving north on River road when he saw Borter "weaving and staggering" in the middle of the roadway. Jensen said he slowed and attempted to miss Borter, but Borter walked in front of the car. Borter was taken to McHenry hospital by the McHenry Rescue squad, where he was treated and released. The incident occurred at about 12:45 a.m. No citation was issued. Earlier, at 11 p.m. Friday, William H. Walter, 2810 Spring road, McHenry, veered his car off Ringwood road to avoid colliding with a car that had swerved into his lane. Walter's car hit a tree and he was taken to McHenry hospital by the Johnsburg Rescue squad, where he remains in satisfactory condition. Joseph T. Bishop, 2610 Henzada, McHenry, was ticketed Sunday night for driving without a license and failing to give aid and in­ formation when the car he was driving struck another as it was backing out of a driveway. Bishop told police he thought the car driven by Beverly L. Workinger was going stop. A rear-ender resulted in a ticket Saturday night for Charles E. Russell, 1611 N. Woodlawn Park, McHenry. Russell told police he was driving south on Ringwood road when he crested a hill and and saw a car that had either slowed or stopped. Russell said he applied the brakes but the car started to fishtail. Jeffrey A. Freund, the driver of the other car, said that he was driving when he was struck in the rear by Russell's car. There were two passengers in Russell's car and one in Freund's but no one was in­ jured. Russell was cited for following too closely. Patrick R. Day, 5216 Thelen, McHenry, was ticketed Saturday at about 8 a.m. when the pick-up truck he was driving struck a parked car owned by Sandra L. Reken- thaler, 5701 Liberty street, Richmond. Damage was estimated at $500 and the ticket was for failure to report an accident. Day said he did not know he had to report the accident to the police.
