PP. 12, SEC. 1 - PLAINDEAIER - NOV. 8, 1968 New City Plat Is Approved (Continued from page 1) the needs and schedule of tax APPROVES PETITION The Zoning Board approved a petition brought by the city which provides for construction of detached private garages or accessory buildings in areas zoned for business, but having been occupied as residences prior to zoning regulations. It was felt that the restrictions were working a hardship, on home owners in areas that are not apt to change in the near future. A petition brought before the Zoning board by Lee J. Cooney for construction of additional apartmant units in Cooney Heights was approved as recommended. An agreement was entered into by the petitioner and the city which will prevent further expansion. Since the street sweeper was damaged beyond repair by a recent tire, a proposal to rent an Elgin Sweeper and enter into contract to acquire a new sweeper on a yearly payment plan as provided in the statutes was approved. The old machine was purchased in 1956 at a cost of $10,800 and was paid for on a monthly basis. The new sweeper will cost $13,- 000 and will be paid for on an annual payment basis over the next three years. The minimum cost for rental of a sweeper is $100 a day for each day in actual use. However, 90 percent of the rental cost will be applied toward payment of the new machine. With trees shedding their leaves at this time of year, a sweeper will be put into use immediately. A group of property owners north of the city limits have shown interest in annexation to the city and have sought estimates of cost, especially in construction of water and sewer lines. This will be referred to an engineer for study.

And to help you keep track of the new laws and revise your driving habits accordingly, the Illinois State Bar association has compiled a list of some of the new requirements. Here aigp those laws which, the bar group says, are most likely to affect your everyday driving procedures: 1. ON THE HIGHWAY, OUTSIDE OF CONGESTED AREAS, SIGNAL YOUR INTENTION TO TURN FOR 200 FEET BEFORE THE TURN. The old rule was to give the turn signal continuously for the last 100 feet before making a turn. Now you mus t start your signal 200 feet before a turn when traveling outside of residential or commercial districts. The rule is still 100 feet for in-town turns. 2. SIGNAL WHEN YOU LEAVE A PARALLEL PARKED POSITION. You must use the electric indicator for a left turn to signal your intention to leave a parallel parked position on the right hand side of the road. Use the right turn indicator when leaving a parallel parked position on the left side of the road. 3. AT NIGHT, DIM HEADLIGHTS AT 500 FEET. Previously, drivers were required to dim, or drop headlight beams when within 350 feet of a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction. Now the law says: 500 feet. And headlights must be dimmed if there is another vehicle within 300 feet ahead of you travelling in the same direction. 4. PUSHING IS NOW ILLEGAL. You may not push another vehicle except in extreme emergency and then only as far as necessary to remove the other vehicle from the roadway or from any immediate danger. 5. TRANSPORT ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ONLY IN ORIGINAL PACKAGE WITH THE SEAL UNBROKEN. It's unlawful to have any alcoholic liquors "in, about or upon" a motor vehicle in any container that indicates use. 6. YIELD TO THE RIGHT WHEN A CAR IS TRYING TO PASS ON THE LEFT AND DON'T SPEED UP. The law says all passing maneuvers must be completed on the left side of the vehicle being overtaken except for specific cases where passing on the right is permitted. Upon an audible signal from a vehicle attempting to pass on the left, you must yield to the right. And you must not increase your speed. 7. THERE'S A LIMIT TO INTERIOR DECORATIONS. The only objects which may be placed on or suspended from the rear view mirror, front windshield, rear window or any other part of the interior of the car are: (1) religious or lodge statues or statuettes not exceeding six inches in height; (2) wearing Gas cooking makes sense. Because you're in command with gas. When you turn it off, it's off. There's no hangover heat to scorch food or overheat your k *rhen.

Fr@imi Th< Adviser Farm ©$k If you apply fertilizer this fall you can prepare the seedbed and start planting as soon as your fields dry next spring. Weather conditions also favor applying fertilizer in the fall. Soil compaction in the fall corrects itself through repeated freezing, thawing and drying. Some fertilizer companies offer pricing and billing benefits to encourage you to make fall application. The bulk of your phosphate and potash, as well as some nitrogen, can be applied this fall. Use your soil test and your yield goals as guide lines to the amount of fertilizer to spread. You can apply 50 lbs. of actual nitrogen, 50 to 100 lbs. P2 5» *° 120 lbs. K20"per acre for corn. You can knife in an additional 80 to 120 lbs. of riitrogen next spring for corn. _ One word of caution on fell applied fertilizer is that once you apply fertilizer, it stays Uppued. If you chaiige cropping plans, if you don't plant, or if your crop doesn't survive, you've get to live with less efficient recovery of nitrogen and money tied up in a fall fertility program. Check these points before making fall applications: -Don't apply fertilizer on bare, steep or frozen fields where nutrients can be washed away or carried away by erosion. Wait until soil temperatures reach 50 degrees F. before applying nitrogen. Cooler temperatures slow down the soil; organisms that change ammonia to nitrate. Denitrification, caused by living soil organisms, does not occur when soil temperatures are cool; therefore, fall and winter applications are only slightly more susceptible to denitification losses than are spring preplant applications. ANOTHER NEW LAW Lt. Gov. Samuel H. Shapiro, acting governor while Gov. Otto Kerner was out of the state, signed into law Senate Bill 1790 which amends the Inheritance Tax Act. This was the first time that the Lieutenant Governor has taken final action on a bill.
