NEW CITY WAK© LINES AVAILABLE IN NEXT ISSUE " By reason of the recent annexation of all of Lakeland Park units No. 1, 2, 3 and 4, and units 1 and 2 of Lakeland Shores, and all of Block 3 in Unit 3 of Lakeland Shores, with the exception. of Lot 19 thereof, it has become necessaiy to establish new ward lines. At its special meeting of Jan. 9. the redistricting and relocating of ward lines was accomplished by the City Council. Due to the complexities of legal descriptions and the time required to fabricate a reduced cut outlining these wbrds for a map publication, it is impossible to fully inform the public as to the new ward lines until the next issue of the Plaindealer on Jan. 26. Inasmuch as 'there are very probably some persons who would wish to file for office on or shortly after the first day of filing for candidacy petitions the twenty-third of January, the Council has made available detailed outline maps of the ward boundaries and a copy of the map so outlining these new wards will be available for inspection at the city hall and at the office of Earl R. Walsh, City Clerk, on Jan. 19.

Police Chief Clark gave a detailed report of activities in h i s d e p a r t m e n t and was pleased to repjrt no burglaries in the month of December.

McHenry has a new ordinance that has been adopted by many cities The new regulation requires that a person remove the key from a parked car or find it necessary to go to the police station to pick up the key and pay a $1 fine. Warning tickets will be issued as a starter. This ordinance is adopted to prevent car thefts and. all too often, resulting accidents. It further guards against accidents caused by small children left in cars. Police Training City Attorney John Looze explained in detail the police training ordinance and the pension plan that is mandatory when a city reaches 5,- 000 population. A police commission is appointed when the pension plan goes into effect, the commission having a membership of three persons.

Realizing that a new disposal plant will be needed in the expansion of the city, councilmen will also be reviewing the 1966 engineering report covering this problem. .fa Duty insists that we do our daily work--but love for h makes us it better.

PROGRESS TOWARD REFERENDUM DATE FOR AREA COLLEGE A junior college for the Mc- Ileijry county area is well on .the way toward referendum duto. tentatively si't for the last week in March. The State Junior College Board conducted a public hearing in Hie Woodstock Community high school lust week with 107 iKM-sons present, and no objectors... Facts regarding ull aspects of a junior college in the county were given by proponents of the issue including E. C. Nichols, chairman of ,the Junior College association; James Zoellick, William M. Franz, John Witt. Chester Knight. Kent Robinson, Dan Malone. Donald Nolan. Robert Schulz. Richard Taylor. Jane Walsh. Joan Hill and William Burnett. Theg high school superintendents explained the need for a Class I junior college in ihi* c ounty for academic as well as vocational training. Representatives of labor and industry testified that vocational training facilities are needed in the county to pro vide the county with skilled and semi-skilled help. The viewpoint toward a junior college in the county from the standpoint of. a high school senior was also given. According to the testimony given, the proposed cost for the referendum totals 10 cents per $100 assessed valuation, including seven cents for educational purposes and three cents for building purposes. The location of the proposed college was also questioned land this was reported to be the duty of the board to be elected, as well as construction of buildings. It was said that the state also provides about 75 percent of the cost for buildings, after the district is formed and a site located. After consideration of the testimony given, the Junior College board will make a decision. If this should be favorable, the county superintendent of schools will call for an election which must be approved by a majority of voters in both the incorporated and unincorporated areas of the county.
