GOVERNOR MAKES PROMISE ON RT. 120 (Continued from page 1) equalization of assessments in the assessments in the state. The Governor replied that if equalization should be set at 45 per cent of assessed valuation as compared to fair market valye, the result would be that in over fifty counties in the state, including McHenry county, real estate taxes would go up dramatically. "Having in mind the kind of tax burdens the people face all over this state now, I am not about to cause an equalization that is going to result in that kind of an increase in real estate taxes," Walker em­ phasized. Hare said he didn't believe the Governor had answered the question fully because "there are people who are paying a tremendous amount of unfair taxes in the lower level right now and there are people who are well overburdened in real estate taxes because the state has failed to equalize;'. Walker agreed some people are paying unfair taxes but said the problem, as raised by Hare, results much more from inequities in what is done by the assessing of taxing officials around this state than what is done at the state level. Since some counties in this state are paying higher taxes than they should because of what is done at the lower level, "I am not going to put the burden on counties like this one that are under-assessed and force them to go up in their real estate taxes simply because of what some other county of­ ficials have done elsewhere in this state," Walker stated. John Connerty, a senior at Marian Central, asked the Governor what his feelings were regarding parochial state aid. Walker said all his seven children had attended or were still attending parochial schools but as Governor he has sworn to uphold the Con­ stitution laws of this state as interpreted by the Supreme courts of the State and the United States. They ruled that the State cannot provide direct or even indirect support to parochial schools. "My own personal feelings are im­ material and I must and will follow the decision of the Supreme court," Walker said. Walker also answered questions regarding what his administration has done for the Latin American community in Illinois; what improvements are planned for Route 14 through the city of Crystal Lake; what percentage of employees in his ad­ ministration now are women and minorities as compared to when he first took office; and what his proposal was regar­ ding a change in the State Criminal Justice system.

Before you choose an air conditioner, ask the dealer for its energy efficiency ratio. This number tells you the efficiency of a unit. An air conditioner with an EER number of 8 or above will be thrifty for you electrically. The EER number is computed by divid­ ing the BTUs by the watts. A 12,000-BTU unit that uses 1500 watts will rate an 8. If the EER doesn't appear on the tag or metal nameplate, use this simple formula yourself. It's a worthwhile exercise that can pay off in electric dollar savings over the long run. Don'l buy too much capacity. Surprisingly, an air conditioner that's too big usually won't keep you as comfortable as a smaller unit. So measure the space to be cooled before you go to the dealer. Also note any doors that might let cool air escape, or windows that might let direct sunlight in. The dealer will have charts to translate your notes into the right air conditioner selection. Some tips on cutting cooling costs. Keep the warm air out and the cool air in with proper insulation and weather stripping where you need it. Block out the sun by drawing drapes. And locate the air conditioner on the shady side of your house, making sure to seal any leaks in the window after you put it in. It makes a lot of sense to buy an air conditioner that starts efficient and stays efficient. Saving energy always makes sense. And when summer's over, you'll find the extra care was worth it-- in dollars and cents. LOOK FOR AN EER OF 8 OR ABOVE Commonwealth Edison Working for you. Survivors include her husband.
