X SECTION 1 - PAGE 4 - PLA1NDEALER-WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19,1975 Cooperative Efforts In Coon Creek Drainage Led by four county Farm Bureaus, farmers from Kane, McHenry, DeKalb and Boone counties have begun cooperative efforts to alleviate bad drainage in the Coon Creek watershed. This watershed involves about 99,950 acres of land, south of route 20 from the west side of Belvidere, east of Marengo and southward to stretch into Kane and DeKalb counties. The creek flows northerly to the Ki^waukee river. DeKalb county farmers have deaided to see if they can get the creek cleaned up in their area and want farmers in adjacent counties to know since their action would affect the flow of water in McHenry and Boone counties. , As a result of the meeting held at Marengo last week, a committee of farmers, con­ servationists and public of­ ficials will meet at Woodstock in late November. Charles Weingart, McHenry farmer who is chairman of the McHenry county Health and Agriculture committee, offered to organize the meeting to include land owners in the water shed, McHenry County Board Chairman Walter Dean, McHenry County Highway Superintendent Jim Rakow, members of the Agriculture committee and Farm Bureau representatives. One purpose of the meeting is to develop an effective procedure. Tom Johnson, DeKalb county's ad­ ministrative aide, told the group his county is planning creation of a special service area through action of the county board. He explained the county board through an or­ dinance can designate a portion or the entire county as a special service area. The ordinance must define what the service area is designated for. He said the county would levy a tax on the property owners who live in the special area. It is under this special service area procedure that the discussion will center when a follow-up meeting is held since it would require action of four county boards to involve all four counties. The areas involved are only a fraction of the acreage in the respective counties. Sam Haning, McHenry county conservationist, had a detailed map showing these acreages in the Coon creek watershed: Boone county, 22,700 acres; McHenry county, 31,350 acres; DeKalb, 15,050 acres; and Kane county, 30,850 acres. Burlington and Hamp­ shire in Kane county are the only villages affected by the proposal. A list of affected property owners is being developed. Insofar as possible, they were notified of the meeting, and many did attend to hear the discussion and ask questions. Johnson was asked to discuss costs, but he said he would have no data until an engineering report was completed. He expected to have some financial data Dec. 4. The DeKalb agriculture, health, education and welfare com­ mittee of the county board is moving forward with plans to form a special service district in DeKalb county. Johnson said the law requires that property owners be taxed equally in a special service area. If some areas require significantly more work, it might be practical to establish localized special service areas to make the tax burden equitable, he concluded. Request Limitation On Bills In Legislature ENTERS LAKELAND COLLEGE Bradley Slipiec, son of Mrs. Gladys Slipiec, Route 1, McHenry, is one of the busiest freshmen now enrolled at Lakeland college, Sheboygan, Wis. He has been named business manager for both WVLC, the campus radio station, and for the Mirror, the college newspaper. The happiest person in this community is prob­ ably the one who has helped the most people, in some way. State Senator Jack Schaffer, R-Cary, has announced he has introduced a resolution in the Illinois Senate calling for a limitation on the number of bills which can be introduced by an individual legislator during a session of the General Assembly. The measure is intended to eliminate situations such as occurred earlier this year when logjams in the lawmaking process were created by the introduction of more than 4,600 bills by senators and representatives during the first six months of the current session. "This is a sincere effort to make our legislative process more client and effective, and more open to public input," Schaffer stated. "It will mean a significant decrease in the number of 'courtesy' bills in­ troduced by legislators to pacify particular constituents and pressure groups, and fewer 'vehicle' bills which are initiated to meet a deadline but later amended to deal with completely new subjects."* He said limiting proposed legislation in this way would result in more comprehensive and serious examination of bills by both legislators and the public. Specifically, the Schaffer resolution would restrict each legislator to introducing no A WOMN CAN BB SURE OF A AJ4V5 INTENTIONE, MTIBHL HB A&KZ IF HAS A Joe>.

Of that total, fifteen bills could be introduced prior to June 30 of the first year of the session, and the other 15 could be introduced i during the remaining year and a half. "This would mean no more than 3,540 bills would be in­ troduced during any two-year period," the Senator added. "The end result would be g r e a t l y i n c r e a s e d manageability of the legislative process, and significantly more public response "to each im­ portant and controversial matter.

ICC Denies Request Of Illinois Bell The Illinois Commerce commission has denied the request of Illinois Bell Telephone company for an interim rate increase Bell was seeking $62,900,000 ad­ ditional annual operating revenue from its Illinois In­ trastate operations, which was approximately one-third of the total amount of its currently pending rate request. The commission has the statutory authority to grant interim rate relief under certain circumstances. In order to grant such relief, the commission must determine that irreparable harm to the utility would result from the denial of such request. In its denial order the commission found that the facts in the case do not justify Bell's contention that denial of the interim relief requested will result in irreparable harm to the company. In response to the Illinois Commerce commission's decision, Illinois Bell made the following statement: "The Illinois Commerce commission's denial of our request for an interim increase in rates is disappointing. "On Dec. 21, 1973, in its last rate order, the commission found 8.5 percent to be a fair and reasonable rate of return for Illinois Bell. Our going level rate of return is about 7.5 percent, and the $62.9 million interim we requested would have brought us back to the authorized level. In view of this, the commission's action today is difficult to un­ derstand". hristmas lub Accounts elp to eserve cash for nteresting gifts ave now o have extra oney for II your next eason s expenses OUR 1976 CHRISTMAS CLUB IS NOW OPEN...JOIN!
