FAMILY REUNION £ FORTY YEARS AGO Taken From the Files of Feb. 5, 1990 The number of cases of flu in and around McHenry has increased, during the past week and several cases have been reported where whole families were afflicted. Fortunately the epidemic is of a mild nature. » ^The vacancy in the McHenry iroblic school, caused by the resignation of Miss Gurnett. is still unfilled as teachers are ' very scarce articles these days. Announcement has been made of the marriage of Miss Matilda Robinson of Chicago and William Dohertv of McHenry, which took place at St. Catherine's church, Oak Park, Wednesday morning of this ^ek.

FLOOD CONTROL SURVEY URGED BY PLAN COMMISSION A comprehensive flood con trol survry of river watershed0' in northeastern Illinois and northwestern Indiana is being urged by the Northeastern Illinois Metropolitan Area Planning commission. The commission has requested that * the U. S. Army corps of Engineers m^ke the survey- to ,assemble basic data needed, for 'development of Flood control plans lo*" the region. I Suburban towns a n d. unin-: ' corporated arens ttfrouehon' T„»ke, McHenry, DuPnge. Kane. Will and Cook counties that have been seriously disturbed by inadequate flood water drainage will be directly benefitted by the survey and the plans for flood control that wil) be based on its findings. It was pointed out that flood control problems, in tho> metropolitan area h^ve been a major concern of the Northeastern I l l i n o i s M e t r o p o M t a n A r e a Planning Commission since its organization in 1957. The commission is the first official body in the United Stafes to be formed on a permanent basis to deal with the host of metropolitan problems brought on byr a p i d p o p u l a t i o n g r o w t h a n d the land development which accompanies it. Commission spokesmen point out that this metropolitan area "was born with a flood control problem " The recession of the last ice sheet left a poorly developed drainage system made up of streams of shallow beds and very flat slopes which result in limited flood storage area and severely limited carrying I e&pacity. Also many basin-like | depressions were jeft where | Storm waters collected and 1 formed swamps and small j lakes. j Urbanization has brought I about further restriction to the j carrying capacity of streams in | the way of fills, bridges and j culverts; has drained swamp areas for housing development and the natural flood plains have been encroached upon to satisfy the economic demands for land. The three natural outlets of the area's drainage system have -- by the reversal of the flow of the Chicago River, by construction of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and by the reversal of the Calumet River flow because of the Calumet- Sag Channel become only one outlet, namely the DesPlaines River.
