Local Option Tax Proposal A local-option income tax, rather than property taxes, could be used to fund schools under a proposal now before the Illinois House and co- sponsored by state Rep. Dick Klemm (R-Crystal Lake). Under the proposed legislation, HB 766, voters could choose to replace local property taxes used for school funding with a flat-rate local income tax. The local income tax could range from .25 percent to two percent and could replace all, or a portion of, local property taxes. "Similar legislation has been in­ troduced in preVimis sessions, but was never approved, said. "The time has come, though, forThisltind of proposal. Citizens are demanding property tax reform. The property tax is among the most unfair, and at the same time, most overused, of all taxes." If the bill is enacted, school districts could sponsor a referendum in which voters would be asked to approve the local income tax and also to deter­ mine what percentage of the money raised by the local income tax would go to reduce property tax bills. If voters approve the referendum, the income tax would be collected by the state, which would keep two percent of the money raised in order to cover the cost of collecting and redistributing the tax. Recycling Drive In City May 7 "When natural mechanisms for bringing man's waste products back into the ecological cycle do not exist, man must find a way to recycle them. If not, he will ultimately run out of natural resources. Recycling reduces the amount of the resource in question that has to be processed, " according to a McHenry County Defender spokesman. Saturday, May 7, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the McHenry County Defenders, in conjunction with the Cary Prairie Management committee, will be conducting a recycling drive in the parking lot of the McHenry Market Place (West Route 120). Area residents are invited to help these two organizations by bringing recyclable items to the drive. The McHenry County Defenders finances all its many county-wide efforts principally through funds earned in this way. There is an immediate payback to the customers for 100 percent aluminum cans, provided they are clean, flattened and contain no bi­ metal cans in the mix. A bonus is paid for lots of more than 100 pounds. Readers are also reminded that the Defenders are now conducting weekly payback programs for both glass containers and aluminum cans each Thursday morning from 10 a.m. to noon. Glass, to be eligible, must be clean, free of metal and plastic, and sorted by color. The program will be conducted in the McHenry Market Place parking lot (on West Route 120).

FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 20,1933) About the busiest place in McHenry the last week is the McHenry State bank which was reopened for business on April 7 without restrictions. The People's State Bank of McHenry has been merged with the larger bank and the best evidence that confidence has again been registered is the fact that the deposits have increased by $35,000 since the reopening, which is a wonderful showing. Business is running along smoothly at the bank. McHenry will have daylight saving time this year according to the decisions of the voters at the city election. This question submitted to the voters on a small ballot won by just 47 votes and daylight saving time will go into effect the last Sunday in April until the last Sunday in Sep­ tember. The band was not so suc­ cessful and lost by 42 votes. FORTY YEARS AGO (Takenfrom thefiles of April 29,1943) The McHenry Public library has been sponsored and supported by the McHenry Mothers' club and donations from various public spirited organizations. The library has grown from 500 adult and juvenile books to 2,192 books of fiction and reference and most of the best periodicals. The rental shelf contains almost all of the best sellers of the past few years and there are many excellent children's books. The library now contains 750 borrowers' cards. The McHenry City Council will meet to consider passing an ordinance to . i L a small fund to give added suppjr' 'O. the McHenry Public* library. On April 30, the second War Loan will come to an end. The work of local committees during the past month will be completed and we will know whether the people of this city have aga; offered their customary fine cooperation TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO °n from the files of April 24,1968) At the City Council meeting, J.A. Roesch prei inted a revised plat of a proposed subdivision that took the fancy of all present. Spacious, tree covered lots, bordered by the Fox river, the channel near the McHenry Country club and John street, give promise as a desirable development in the growth of the city. The problem of water and sewer facilities in the area looms up as a major operation. Two McHenry men were named chairmen of their respective parties central committees. Charles (Chuck) Miller was elected to that position on the GOP Central committee--John Colomer of McHenry was named chairman of the Democartic com­ mittee. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 25,1973) A standing-room-only crowd was in attendance at the City Council meeting to witness installation of city officers for their new terms. However, prior to swearing-in ceremonies, the annual meeting of the City Council was held. As one of his final actions, Mayor Donald Doherty was called upon to cast the tie breaking vote which arose when a roll call was taken on a motion to accept the proposed salary schedule for the police department. Mayor Doherty cast the deciding vote and the motion carried. The new mayor, Joseph Stanek, was installed in office by City Clerk Earl R. Walsh. Walsh also ad­ ministered the oath of office to Jack Pepping, Frank Hromec, James Wegener and Edward Datz. The Fox river continues to rise at the rate of two-tenths of an inch per hour at the McHenry locks. The level now is above the 1972 high. CDAP GRANTS Illinois has won federal approval of more than $33 million in the second year of. the state's Community Development Assistance Program (CDAP) for so-called "small cities", according to Governor James R Thompson. "Small cities" are defined as those of 50,000 population or less. The Department of Commerce and Community Affairs expects about 250 applications, and about 60 grantees will be chosen. The majority of the funds will be used for economic development, improved public facilities and better housing.
