With the idea of saving the last available river front property within the city limits for park purposes, the council took options on three lots known as the Weber property. Two of the lots, with building now occupied as a radio shop by Charles Coles, are the property of the Math Wfeber estate. An adjoining lot to 'the south is owned by John P. Weber. /The council will place the question of the purchase of the property in the hands of the votera^kt the regular election-April 17. (Thus, the residents will haVeachance to decide whether or not they desire to retain this river front property for public use. A Class "A" taverrf license was granted to Harold Millar to May 1 upon payment of the full annual license fee. Closing Honrs The question of the city's. responsibility in the enforcement of the federal ruling on tavern and restaurant closing hours was discussed. The council members expressed themselves as being of the opinioit that all local operators would readily conform to the rulings as outlined by the government. It was decided to attempt to secure any necessary clarifications , of rules through the Illinois Municipal Leagu^. & ••^he council, long recognizing the advisability of purchasing a truck for use on streets and for general purposes, heard a rep<yt from Mayor Overton following his attendance at a recent sale of government trucks in Ch'cago. Reviewing the cost and learning the mechanical condition of these used trucks left the council of the opinion that an attempt to secure a truck through other sources would be advisable. ! The clerk was instructed to direct J a letter to the Civil Aeronautics "Commission'for information regard? ing an airport for McHenry. While the idea of a local-airport may seem ' a distant dream, it has been learned ! that the federal government contemplates contributing substantially toward these projects. By filing for ' information at this time, without obligation, th« city may be in a choice position f6r consideration when final plans are approved.
