Most residents said they hope the new well will solve the problem "I hope it solves the problem, one man explained, "because they want so much money for this unfit water that it prohibits the city from purchasing it" Other residents complain about the added cost being paid in addition to the regular $5 a month charge The cost of ruined clothes, filters, water softeners, and bottled water are all added expenses of the residents in Lakeland Park In addition, the aggravations involved, "like stepping into an orange bathtub"' ANN FX \T1UN MEETING Petitions have been circulated by a group of "coneernecl citizens," asking that the City Council deny the Residential Development group s request for an­ nexation of the Backhaus property on Crystal Lake road A meeting con cerning that request will be held in Fast campus cafeteria at 7 45 Friday evening.

The last designation was selected so that students do not feel the stigma of failure, yet they and their parents are made aware that the work is unsatisfactory. An incomplete designation may be removed by the student's satisfactory com­ pletion of the work on the assignment sheet before the end of the next grading period. If it is not removed, it remains part of the permanent file. Any student with two or more in­ completes in two or more subject areas will not be promoted. Member Gary Lockwood expressed doubts about the wisdom of this procedure, noting that "the world is competitive ". He said a child's failing grade doesn't mean he is a failure, and he added that there is no way to keep students from comparing grades.

Cal Skinner, Jr. <R- McHenry county) at 7:30 p.m. Monday, July 17. It will be held at Crystal Lake's Central school auditorium, located on Paddock street "The date was selected because July 18 is the last day Nunda township property owners may appeal their real estate assessments for next year's tax bills," the former McHenry county treasurer said "Present at the meeting will be area assessors, tax district and school district officials, attorneys familiar with ap­ pealing assessments - arid paying taxes under protest," Skinner said "Since I am short of help because of vacations, all tax and school district officials may not receive invitations by mail, however I hope none will feel left out or slighted, because all are welcome." Skinner indicated that he expects numerous taxpayers He bases that expectation on the number of complaints that his office has received, both oypr the phone and through the mail. "Unfortunately, tax protest movements seem to run in cycles. That's unfortunate, because each time the need arises a new tax protest, organization has to be started from scratch. At present, none really exists." he said. In the past, the Involved Citizens organization and the Government Improvement league were active in monitoring local governmental units and assisting taxpayers to cope with the property tax system Both are now defunct. "The most recent organizational activity with regard to real estate taxes has involved the Crystal Lake-Cary Area League of Women Voters," Skinner said. "I believe the league still has a committee studying the sub­ ject. "I have no plans to initiate a taxpayers organization in Crystal Lake or McHenry county, but any who think that might be a good idea are welcome to use this meeting as a starting place," the lawmaker said Skinner has been actively promoting administrative reform of the property tax system since entering the General Assembly in 1973. Most major procedural reforms since then have had his im­ print, including the law which required the notice sent to taxpayers in McHenry county who were reassessed this year Passing Motorist Ticketed A McHenry man was injured and ticketed following a two- car accident Monday afternoon at the Front and Main street intersection Mat hew L Rokosz, 2407 W.
