THE SENATOR SAYS By State Senator Robert McClory Pineapple Grown Cheese Cake For Happy Eating SKILLED IN CRASH >$ftWit,h thirty-one members of the .Illinois General Assembly than ever before in Ilinois' 139 years of statehood as a result of reap- j pointment (twenty - four repre- j sentatives and seven additional senators) we can expect more j lawmaking than in any previous ! session^, It is probable that many bad and unnecessary laws will be pass- j ed, along with some much needed legislation. In his inaugural address, Gov. Stratton outlined many of. the important measurers with which the General Assembly will struggle, and about which we will be reading" during the coming months. This and succeeding articles will discuss those subjects of greatest concern to the citizens will discuss those subjects of great- ) est concern to the citizens of Lake, j McHenry and Boone counties ; (52nd senatorial district) served j by your state senator. i In our area of relatively high as- ; sessments and large real estate tax bills, no legislation is moro important than that which will provide for equalization of assess- i ments at the township level. Whether this is done by the Department of Revenue, a state equalization board or other an.- thority is of small consequence. The essential point is that large state grants for schools and other purposes should be measured on : local needs only after there has been a uniform local effort. A McHenry county taxpayer who pays a real estate tax bill based upon a 70 percent assessed valuation to support local schools and other services should not have his sales tax dollars diverted to some other county where property assessments range from 5 per cent to 20 per cent and where the state pays most of the bills for supporting the local schools. j A bill sponsored by your state senator in the 1955 session to require tax equalization, as between townships failed to pass. But in 1957, the result should be different. Legislation to equalize local assessments is part cf the program of the School Problems commission. The Illinois State Chamber of Commerce also is supporting such a program. It was a promi- ; nent part of Gov. Stratton's inaugural address. It is item number one on the legislative agenda of your state senator. The present tendency to relegate Harold Horstman,. 30, 'of . Ft.

' -- The McHenry county cerebral palsy chapter was founded by an Algonqu|n housewife, Mrs. Benjamin Covert:, who is now serving her second term as president of the organization. Mrs. Covert and Miss Celestine Igoe of Crystal Lake, who was the director of Spauldiiig' School^ .for Crippled Children.; for a number of years, had fortfled a committee to study the possibility -of establishing a classroom for physically handicapped children in the county. They asked for help from "the state cerebral palsy organization, with the result that they were invited to their convention. Mrs. Covert decided to apply the county cerebral palsy chapter hired a physical therapist and started treating about a dozen children regularly in, donated rooms in the basement of St. John's Lutheran church in Algonquin. This service, like all services of the chapter, was entirely free of charge. The organization's first therapist was Mrs. Joetta Meyer of rural Woodstock. / In June of 1956, the chapter was offered the use of fwo small rooms in the basement' of the newly opened McHenry hospital. An arrangement was reached with the hospital under which the two would jointly hire a physical therapist, with the hospital agreeing^ to pay 60 per cent of her salary -and use §0 per cent of her time. The hospital and cerebral palsy chapter jointly hired Miss Joanne Etauschert of Dundee as the new therapist.

There is no reason why a home, factory or farm of equal value > with another identical home, fac- ' tory or farm in another part of the county or state should not be valued for tax purpose on exactly the same basis.
