PG. 14, SEC. I - PLAlNDEALER - SEPT. 21, 1967 Lookout Point Reverses Vote In Master Unit Special Member Session Is Held „ At Wonder Lake Lookout Point property owners had a special membership meeting Sunday, Sept. 10 at the east side fire house. There was no standing room as some Sixty property owners and a few guests crowded into the small meeting room to hear two speakers relate the benefits of each master association in that area. Mr. Bixby represented the Master Property Owners association as its vice -president and Mr. Setzler represented The Peoples' Master association as its temporary chairman. A year ago, the Lookout Point property owners, at their re- • gular annual membership meeting, voted to support the Peoples' Master association and elected its delegates. This year at their regular annual membership meeting a number of rival directors gained control of the association board. They succeeded in calling this special membership meeting to re-vote which master association this Property Owners association would join. After the formalities of opening the meeting by President Reidel, Mr. Setzler was called, upon and in thirty-five minutes, reviewed the background of the starting of the present master association. With the aid of two wall charts one, he outlined Wander Lake with all twentyfour properties located on its shoreline, including their approximate boundaries, and the second chart listed each property with its number of lots or acres of land along with the vote each represents as determined by the deeds. This chart showed a conservative total possible vote for all properties around Wonder Lake to be 129 with the Master Property Owner's association total vote claimed at 58 or 02. Mr. Setzler continued by telling the meeting that so far the People's Master association has had only five meetings of the incorporators who feel that the "properly owners should have a voice in the formation of the by-laws that are to govern or control the lake," and reported that a committee of three has been appointed to personally contact property owners and subdivision boards. He concluded by reading the ten aims or purposes that they intend to achieve. DISPUTES PROPERTIES Mr. Bixby was then called upon who, in an hour and a half, disputed some properties on the chart, their boundaries, and their right to the use of the lake; thereby the total vote presented on the chart would be reduced somewhat. He read that part in a deed that refers to the master association to be Musin' & Meanderin (Continued from page 1) such a program is an excellent idea. Each year several trees yield to the axe, and while tiie number destroyed in any twelve-month period seems small, over the period of years in which Dutch Elm disease has been prevalent, all of us would probably be surprised at the number cut down in the last decade. On the part of the individual property owner, this must be a voluntary effort which would eventually benefit himself most of all. It might very well be that the city would join in the program where trees are taken from property under its jurisdiction. With so many folks apparently behind such a project, it seems worth a try. With foresight, Mc Henry has engaged in ' a spraying program in recent years which has saved the city from the very sad plight of communities filled with Elm trees which today are being destroyed, one by one, and leaving entire trees barren of foliage. Continued foresight might assure McHenry a "green" look well into the future. formed, jwelling Jon the dictionary meaning of the word •'the*' preceding Master association. Mr. Bixby reported that in two cases the Master property owners association has protected the privacy of Wonder Lake: first, the launching of boats from the Walkington-Harrison property and second, having the state refuse the application, filed with them, for a sea-plane base at Wonder Lake. He reported that a portion of the insurance on the lake and dam was Obtained as of Aug. 30, 1967, and another portion was to be in force in the near Mure. He told of the dam repairs and the repairs now in progress estimating that regular yearly maintenance on the dam would be about $100. As for patrolling the lake, Mr. Bixby said that the conservation department cannot authorize this and the county sheriff recomends against it. 6 He reported to the meeting that Attorney Higgins had been paid by Mr. Jacobson for ser- . vices to the executive commit in *** mer«er of McHenry FS with McHenry Farmers Co- RECOGNIZE FARM BUREAU SERVICE OF MCHENRY MEN (Continued from page 1) man, Algonquin townhip and also a 20-year director, has announced his resignation effective at the anriuaT meeting becaase he has sold his farm and is moving to another township.

President Reidel, after conducting a question and answer session, called for a secret ballot which included a large number of "proxy" or "absentee" ballots, making a total vote of 236, with 152 for the Master Property Owners association and 84 for the People's Master association. It was noted by the judges that the Wonder Lake syndicate, in the first such action in any subdivision over the past thirty or more years, cast 22 proxy votes on their holdings within this subdivision and that Chuck Miller, the former McHenry township road commissioner, cast 16 proxy votes cm his holdings within this subdivision. The next regular membership meeting to elect delegates will be next August. MOTOR STOLEN A 40 hp. motor valued at several hundred dollars was stolen from the boat of George W.

This year, school enrollment jumped to 524, plus ten students enrolled in the McHenry county special classes. Enrollment at Harrison by grades is: Kindergarten, 62; first grade, 63; second grade, 59; third grade, 54; fourth grade, 60; fifth grade, 52; sixth grad2, 51; seventh grade, 62; and eighth grade, 59. This sudden increase in enrollment is causing the various facilities at Harrison school to operate at full capacity. However, with the cooperation of everyone, the school announced it will continue to offer and improve the high quality educational program so necessary for your children in today's society."

They added that rumors that the air conditioning unit had been removed from the building were not true. Some discussion was held concerning the difficulty with a frontage road at the new high school. It was disclosed that the developer had submitted the plat to the city, containing information on what work would be done, including a frontage road. The school architect was present to explain that the closeness to the road was deemed wise procedure because of the slppe of the land, which would have given an unpleasant appearance from the road if the school had been erected farther to the west. This, he said, was decided tg»on after the developer informed them there would be no road. He added that there was still room for a frontage road to meet city requirements. The board discussed the argument of the developer that such a road, if continued on into a proposed shopping center, would result in a traffic hazard at an important intersection. The decision they said, is left to an agreement between the developers and the city. FACULTY PAYMENT Teacher's payment for conducting night classes was set at $5 an hour fqr the first course, $5.50 for the second and $6 for the third. On recommendation of Dr. Carl Bergstrom, superintendent, the board approved acceptance of a non-paying tuition student who is residing with relatives within the district. The decision, first of its kind, was made after a thorough study of the case and the need involved. Hie school enrollment was announced at 1,567. April 11 was set as the makeup day for Oct. 12, which has been established as a legal holiday. Teaching contracts were approved for Steve Smirnoff, Michael Reese and Michael Day to teach English and journalism, business Education, and math, respectively. $3.4 MILLION MAILED TO AREA TAXING DISTRICTS County Treasurer Cal Skinner, Jr., has announced that another $3.4 million has been mailed to McHenry county taxing districts. Less than fourtenths of one percent of the taxes collected remains undistributed. Other distributions were made in May ($2.3), June ($8.3) and August (almost $800,000) for a total of $15.2 thus Car this year. Last year three current tax distributions were made -- in June, July and November. This policy of frequent distribution came in for praise at the last meeting of the Board of Supervisors when a letter to Board Chairman Walter Dean was read. It was from the superintendent erf the largest school district in the area, District 300 Supt. Kenneth E. Neubert.

Area 815-385-0403 how Reelected President Effects Of Insurance Legislation Explained At County Agents' Meet MOBILE UNIT Board Sfudies PLANS TWO FALL - „ M--~ VISITS IN COUNTY College Name Automobile drivers will be faced with an increase in the cost of liability insurance as a result of a bill passed by the 1967 General Assembly and signed by Gov. Kerner, a leading insurance executive told McHenry county indspendent insurance men last week. Max R. Schrayer, president of Associated Agencies, Inc., Chicago, told members of the McHenry County Association of Independent Insurance Agents to prepare their customers for an increase. "I think the law is a good, one personally. It eliminates the limit of $30,000 on wrongful death. As an insurance man I would like the limit kept but as a responsible citizen I feel the move is in the right direction because it is more flair," said Schrayer. Schrayer explained that in practice the $30,000 amount became the total amount juries awarded and they did not weigh each case. He warned that larger benefits will be paid in the future, requiring the increased liability rates but said he feels cases will be decided "more nearly on their merits." MAJOR CHANGES Schrayer gave a rundown on many major insurance changes approved by the General Assembly and the Governor as a result of sweeping changes requested by the Insurance department. At the meeting officers were elected to serve out the year, and the members set May for the annual meeting. Frank Low, McHenry, wag re-electedpresident; Ben Frisch, Cary, was re-elected vice-president; Robert Bauman, Crystal Lake, was re-elected treasuer; and Jim Longhway, McHenry, was elected secretary, succeeding Leo Krumme, Crystal Lake. The organization includes members from throughout McHenry county -- men who have their own agencies and represent several companies. The association serves as a Chamber of Commerce-type organization for the men as it helps them do a better job of serving the public and keeping up-todate <m the many changes in the insurance business. Low urged members to attend the Illinois Association of Insurance Agents annual meeting in Peoria Oct. 29-31. Those planning to attend include Virgil Pollock, Bob Long, Jim Frisch, Leo Krumme, Bob Bauman and Low. Schrayer said one major change affected by legislative action gives the state insurance director the right to step in if he thinks something may be wrong with a company. He can re-insure and protect customers of the company while he investigates. LICENSE SUSPENSION He can suspend the license of a company that refuses to pay just claims. The department now has the authority to examine a company, but Schrayer pointed out the serious inability to carry out basic inspections. ' "New York state has 900 companies and 335 examiners. In Illinois we have 1,300 companies and only thirty-five examiners," he said. ' One good change will require Workmen's Compensation commissioners to be appointed on a bi-partisan basis. Another will require Workmen's Compensation examiners to be chosen on a civil service basis. One bill defeated which Sch-~y rayer said he favored was one which would have eliminated temporary insurance brokers' licenses. He said he feels the industry abuses this form of license and he favors a stringent exam that would attract fully qualifiedprofessional men to the insurance business. Members of the Independent Insurance Agents voted to sponsor a golf outing which had been conducted fay Crystal Lake members for many years. Low appointed a committee of Bob Long, Leo Krumme and Herb Reihansperger to handle this event. Low revealed discussions are being held under guidance of the association to work out a disaster insurance program for McHenry county. The mobile chest x-ray unit will be in Woodstock on Friday, Sept. 22, for its monthly visit to the county. Located on the south side of the Court House, the hours of operation will be 12:30 to 5 and 6 to 8:30 p.m. The next scheduled visit is Oct. 27, when the mobile unit will be in Cary. APPROVE EDUCATION PROJECT Ray Page, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, has announced that 118 Title I projects have been approved for Illinois schools, amounting to $3,235,028. Tftle I includes such programs as remedial reading, teaching of English as a second language, arithmetic and counseling services. Harrison elementary school district had a project approved in the a- ^Ijiount of $6,003. Voter League Plans Program A highlight of the foil season for members of the Woodstock- McHenry League of Woman Voters will be their annual membership tea on Saturday, Sept. 23, at 1 p.m. Mrs. Anne Hecht and Mrs. Carol Sek are cohostesses for the event, which will be held at Mrs. Hecht's home, 9335 Bull Valley road, Woodstock. The speaker will be Mrs. Alice Ihrig, state chairman of the league's constitutional convention committee, who will speak on "Con-Con". This topic should be of great interest since a vote on the Legislature's call for a Constitutional Convention is coming up at the next general election in November, 1968. Mrs. Ihrig is particularly well qualified to speak on this subject since her committee is now preparing studies on the articles of the Constitution. League members and area women interested in learning more about the League of Women Voters and its contributions to the community are cordially invited to attend. Information about the tea may be had from Mrs. Anne Hecht, or Mrs. Carol Sek, McHenry. SHOP IN MCHENRY Big Savings! General Electric WASHER SALE f\ iltPi! Wesfe© r 168" 1. large 14-lb.

Morris, knocked unconscious, was taken to the hospital by a passing motorist. Following a meeting of the junior college board last week, the name of McHenry county's newest educational institution is still undecided. However, the board narrowed the original sixty-seven names submitted to six, and a further vote brought the final three names to McHenry Junior College, Saganaush College and Pathfinder College. Since none received majority approval of the board, the matter was returned to committee for further study. A lengthy and sometimes heated discussion took olace cm the investment of junior college district funds. It involved the purchase of $50,000 in certificates of deposit, with the board having reportedly directed the treasurer, Thomas F. Bolger of McHenry, to select a bank and buy bonds, at the highest available rate of interest. Bolger told Secretary J. William Banker, Jr., that the funds had been invested at 4% per cent in the Marengo and McHenry banks. However, Banker said that in an earlier telephone conversation he told the McHenry man he didn't feel it was necessary to place the investment in a county bank. Cal Skinner, Sr., a member of the college board, informed the membership that he had received information concerning a Chicago bank rate of between 5 and 5% per cent. He introduced a motion that the treasurer be dismissed and a replacement made, but there was no second to the motion. Instead, many of the board felt the treasurer should appear and explain his position, and this motion was approved. It was noted that the higher rate might not be available on less than a denomination of $100,000. T H E T E T O N S . . .
