Thursday, Jun® 21, 1982 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Page Fifteen Lakemoor BOND COMPANIES DISCUSS VILLAGE WATER SYSTEM Annette Schmit £ At the regular meeting of the Lakemoor village board on Thursday. June 14, three gentlemen from bonding companies appeared to discuss the possibility of a water system in our village. Since no consideration has been taken as to this action to date, it was decided that there first be a special meeting called in the near future to discuss the feasibili- I to ty of such a program with the village engineers and the village board. At that time they will compare figures and go deeper into the problems involved. At the close of the discussion of these three gentlemen, one of them stated to the people:- that3 they will make an attempt to bring water to the | user so that it is at least as % economical as individual wells and in line with the cost of * normal wells. This discussion was the stepping stone of a whole line of stepping stones yet to be trod before any action can be taken. Many more such reports will reach the homeowner in the future before cur system becomes a reality. However, footwork must begin, and has been laid in the past, and thus |r this reporter again says go to your meeting and know first hand what is being done to help us grow. A date is being set at which time these things will be discussed, and we understand that after much more information has been gained, a meeting will be in the offing for the public in order to educate them to this program. '4> Weed cutting on the roadsides and on the beaches will begin in the near future. At the south side beach, Mr. Zabroski has volunteered his services to spread the sand on that beach and repair the swings. Volunteers were called for spreading sand on 1he north side 'oeach and it was noted by your reporter that John Hosie ™ had done quite a bit of the work on Sunday. A ball diamond has been obtained for the village youngsters on the Beranek farm. Mr. Beranek asks the children to have a lot of fun in the use of the ball diamond, but also away from the horses and the barn. Parents are asked to let the children know that the ball diamond is for their play, but private property must be respected! Fire in Village A fire, causing no damage, sent the department out to Raven's house in the village last week. Summer Resident Back Our summer residents are back on the scene again. We understand that Edna O'Donnell is back at her place. Last Sunday brought Virginia Malek and her son, Mickey, back for a day of weed cutting. gard for his property. The children are to stay off the farm, Washline Caper Poor Genene Dember. She had just bought her new swimming suit and had only worn it once. She hung it on the line to dry. That is the end of the swimming suit! And so was it the end of Daddy Dember's fishing pole. Some cad came alone and with calous disregard for other's property, helped himself. It is a shame that in this day and age of modern living and in a country, of abundance, things like this have to happen.
