HARRISON ACTS TO MKT Plans Outlined At October Meeting Of Board Last Week Hianday, October1% 1962 -- *:rrr windows In floors with wireimpregnated glass, and replacement of, several ventilators ttyat do nqt meet newer code standards, are under way. New two-way firedoors are to be installed in the hallway east ojf the kindergarten, and other posting doors are to be covered with asbestos and 28* guage tin, to provide a fire and heat hairier. Thomas also suggested a new ceiling and wiring modification in the old lunchroom and adjacent classroom in the old building. The bus-route committee., plans another tour of the district before making recommendations that will be considered for next year. It was stressed that no changes in basic bus routes will be made this year. Some temporary exceptions are due to construction of the new Wonder Lake road. Drainage of land back of the school came under renewed examination, with revelation that a second and newer topographic map, heretofore not available, indicated a need to change some contract specifications. The first board-faculty-selected citizens' breakfast meeting was termed a success, but methods of providing adequate information need some im- TEE Immediate steps to comply with several state fire marshal recommendations for Harrison school were reported by Supt. Merl F. Thomas. The recommendations, making changes mandatory, were first submitted last February. Thomas said he requested a re-examination for clarifica tion, and this was done in September. The report was discussed in executive session of the board three weeks ago. Reporting it during the Oct. 9 public meeting of the board, Thomas said that estimated costs are being obtained. Several hundred dollars might be involved. On balance, the school checked out well, Thomas said, noting that recent updating of the fire code since the Harrison buildings were erected occasioned the current modifi- {cations. Pyrene fire extingu i s h e r s, stricken from the code, were ; ordered jremoved from the school. Thomas said these have been replaced with the approved water pressure type. Some extinguishers, not specified in the report, were also installed at points where none had existed, such as the library, as an added measure of protection. An alarm system is to be installed in the old building, and closures to be installed on free-swinging doors. Replacement of clear, unreinformed Legal* NOTICE OF CLAIM DATE Estate of CHARLES H.

Feyerer .attended the meeting to question a payroll matter, and was rebuffed by the unqualified support of the board for the individual involved. The open meeting lasted until nearly midnight and then retired into executive session requested by Thomas for discussion of unspecified subjects. Length of the meeting was occasioned, by an earlier recess for board participation in a concurrent PTA meeting centered on teacher recruitment Dr. Raymond H. Watkins cited some competitive situations he and Thomas encountered to previous years to attract teachers to the area. These ihcluped attraction of larger cities( sometimes higher salary schedules although Harrison ranks well in this regard, and the desire of some teachers, espgci&lly recent graduates, to i^emain close to educational find cultural centers wherein they can easily continue study. It was noted that Harrison school has many outstanding features to offer; These include abundant supplies of PLASiBEALBl County School Enrollment Continues To Show Increase x iizoon A3 McHenry county schools started in the fall of 196j&. enrollments in public and private, schools again showed an increase.

In what could be billed as an evening in education for those who availed themselves to both meetings, the PTA program was rounded out with detailed presentations of reading instruction by kindergarten and prflnary grade teachers.

COUNTY CLgRK This is a specimen of the ballot you will receive at the Polls known as the "Blue Ballot". The official Constitution -ballot will be on Blue Colored Paper. PROPOSED! AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE VI (Judicial Article Amendment) Explanation of Judicial Article Amendment This amendment would give the dtate an integrated court system in which all judicial power would be vested in three levels of courts: the Supreme, Appellate, and Circuit Courts. In lieu of other existing courts there would be divisions of the Circuit Court--the only trial court. The Supreme Court would consist of seven judges, as at present, but with three elected from Cook County and one from each of four districts in the remainder of the state. The boundaries ef these districts, except for Cook County, could be changed from time to time by law. The Supreme Court would exercise administrative powers over the court system as a whole. The Appellate Court would have five districts identical with those from which tne judges of the Supreme Court would be elected, For the bulk of litigation the decision of the Appellate Court would be final. The present Circuit Court districts would continue .until changed by law. Each county would always have at least one associate Circuit Court judge. Justices of the peace and police magistrates would be merged igito the Circuit Court as magistrates thereof until the expiration of their terms. Thereafter, the duties and functions of these offices would be performed by magistrates appointed by the Circuit Court, serving at the pleasure of the Court. Incumbent clerks of all courts, the bailiff of the Chicago Municipal Court, and other non-judicial personnel will continue in office until the expiration of their terms. Thereafter, the General Assembly will provide for the selection, terms, removal, and salaries of such officers. All salaries and eroenqes would be paid by the state and additional compensation may be paid in Cook County by the county. All new and successor judges would be licensed attorneys at law. All judges woiild devote full time to their judioial duties. They could not be officers of a political party. "Judges who are incumbents on January 1, 1963 thereafter would run against their record, and without party - designation, rather than against an adversary candidate, in the appropriate general election. Any ^further fundamental changes in the method of election wottfd require a two-thirds wte of both Houses of the General Assembly and ratification by a majority of the electors voting on the proposition. The terms of those who are or will become judges or associate judges of the Circuit Court would be six years; the term? of judges of the Supreme and Appellate Courts would be ten years.

YES NO If a majority of the votes upon such question in such election are for the adoption of such act, the Governor shall thereupon proclaim the act in force effective January 1, 1963. A statement setting forth in detail the provisions of the proposed amendments to the Illinois Banking Act has been certified to the County Clerk for filing and preservation for public inspection. Pursuant to the statutes of the State of Illinois in such case made and provided, the following Statement and Suggestions has been prepared for publication and posting as being necessary to afford a proper understanding of the proposition to be voted on as aforesaid. STATEMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS The proposed amendments relate to Sections 5, 13, 16, 34, 48 and 51 of the Illinois Banking Act. A proposed amendment to Section 5 ef the miosis Banking Act will authorize & Starie b&fik to pledge Its assets in order to qualify as a trust company for the administration of trusts, and in order to secure trust funds which are commingled with the bank's own funds. < Another proposed amendment to Section 5 limits the time during which a State bank may retain title to real estate acquired in the collection of its debts. Under the proposed amendment, such a bank may not retain the title to real estate of this type for more than five years. However, the proposed amendment authorizes an extension of the five-year period in cases were a request for such extension is submitted to and approved by the Director of the Department of Financial Institutions. The proposed amendments also add a provision to Section 5 of the Illinois Banking Act which would authorize State banks to do any act and to own and carry as assets property of such character, including stock, as is authorized to National banks under Federal statutes. The proposed amendment to Section 13 of the Illinois Banking Act adds a provision authorizing the revocation of a charter of a new State bank, if the bank does not commence a general banking business within one year from the date of the issuance of the charter. However, this proposed amendment also contains a provision for an extension of the one-year limitation upon submitting a request in writing to the Director for such extension, and approval of such request. The proposed amendment to Section 16 of the Illinois Bank Act raises the minimum number of directors of State banks from 3 to 5. This proposed amendment also provides that at least two-thirds of the directors of each State bank must be residents of the State of Illinois. The proposed amendment to Section 34 of the Illinois Banking Act would add a provision that the limitations upon the liabilities of any one person and upon the purchase and holding of marketable investment securities shall not apply to obligations as endorser or guarantor of negotiable or non-negotiable instrument paper, which carries full recourse endorsement or unconditional guarantee by the transferor, if it is apparent to the ibank or its officers that the financial condition of the maker of the obligations is reasonably adequate, and if an officer of the bank certifies that the 'bank was relying primarily on the credit of the maker for the payment of the obligations. The proposed amendment to Section 48 of the Illinois Banking Act revises the schedule of fees which must be paid by State banks for the administration costs of examination by the Department of Financial Institutions. The new fee schedule provides for a base' fee of $100.00, plus a graduated charge of 10c per $1,000 of assets up to two million dollars down to 2c per $1,000 assets in excess of one billion dollars. This proposed amendment also provides that the annual examination fee is to be based on the assets as shown by each of the four published reports of condition required quarterly, instead of being based on the total assets of the bank as of the date of the examination. One-fourth of the annual examination fee is to be paid at the time of filing the quarterly report of condition. A further proposed amendment to Section 48 of the Illinois Banking Act authorizes the Director of the Department of Financial Institutions to make an examination in respect to the nature and condition of the fssets in or investment of any bonus, pension or profit sharing plan for officers or employees of any State bank. The proposed amendment also sets out the manner in which violations are to be handled. The proposed amendment to Section 5i of the Illinois Banking Act provides that any banking business done in violation of any of the provisions of the Illinois Banking Act" is unlawful and is subject to correction by the Director in the same manner as business done by the bank in a fradudulent or unsafe manner.
