Bills are being sent to residents of the Sunnyside Estates project in McHenry township and those of Silver Lakes and Oakwood Hills in Nunda and Algonquin townships several weeks earlier than last year to give residents sufficient time to pay these special assessments by the first of the year. Property owners may pay one or more of the ten installments that must be made to pay for the roads. The amounts stated in the letters from the Treasurer's office will be the correct payment if made by Jan. 2. The constitutionality of this "special assessments" program's now being studied by the Illinois Supreme court. If approved, u incorporated property owners will be able to continue banding together to improve their roads sufficiently to allow the Township Road Commissioner to take over responsibility for maintaining them., Algonquin Township Attorney William Franz recently argued the case on appeal before the Supreme court at the direction of the Algonquin township electors.

Sesqui centennial Opening Will Be Observed In City (Continued from page 1) between 3 and 3:30 o'clock. A total of 1,000 women's clubs, which make up the Illinois Federation, plan to take part in the commemoration of this historic year by joining in special expressions of tribute and gratitude of " 150 years of the good life in Illinois." On Dec. 3, 1818, President James Monroe signed the Act of Congress by which the Territory of Illinois became the twenty-first state in the Union. In view of the approaching 150th anniversary of this great event, the 74th General Assembly created the Illinois Sesquicentennial commission for the purpose of exploring the most effective and appropri ate means of celebration. Commission chairman Ralph G. Newman, eminent historian-author, reports that "One should not ttfink of the Illinois sesqui centennial celebration as one great spectacular event, but rather, a year-long series of events extending geographically through - out the state into every county, city and hamlet where citizens who love their Illinois wish to participate." Dec. 4, 1967, marks the sesqoicentennial's beginning, and on Dec. 3, 1968, it will come to a dramatic close. Honoring the event: A Sesqui centennial stamp will be issued. 1938 auto license plates will carry a sesquicentennial insignia. A new history of Illinois in six volumes will be published. A rearrangement of our state song, "Illinois" has been made by Norman Luboff. "Illinois Sings '68", the second of Channel 7's special music panorama of the Prairie State and its people, will be presented in December, 1967. On Lincoln's birthday, an hour long color TV entertainment special will be shown nationally. Its star studded cast will include Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Edgar Bergen and Dick Van Dyke, to name a few. This will be the first time a state has ever backed such a program on commerical television. The restoration of the old capitol building in Springfield is scheduled for 1968, as is the remodeling of the Governor's mansion. These are but a few of the highlights of the commission's expansive plans and preparations for the historical year ahead, all being geared to recount the drama of the state's early days, the beauties, advantages and opportunities of present- day Illinois, and the magnificent promise of a future Illinois. The Law Serves You NEW MINIMUM EXEMPTION FROM WAGE GARNISHMENT A new Illinois law provides that a $50 weekly paycheck is exempt from garnishment, a court order requiring an employer to make deductions from an employee's paychecks for the benefit of his creditors. And, if the employee is the head of a family who contributes substantially to its support, his paycheck of up to $65 per week is exempt from garnishment deductions, under the law. According to the Illinois State Bar association, the old minimum exemption from a deduction order was $45 and this applied to all persons, without special provision for the head of a family. The new law retains the old maximum exemotion of 85 percent of the gross wage. Thus., the exempt portion of a wageearner's paycheck is either $50 or $65, depending upon his family status, or 85 percent of his gross weekly wages, up to $200, whichever is higher. The new minimums are now in" effect, the ISBA stated. It added that an employer may rely on a written statement by an employee as to his family responsibilities, and incurs no liability if the employee was in fact entitled only to the $50, rather than $65, minimum exemption. The law provides that the full amount of the non-exempt portion of the paycheck is subject to collection under a deduction order "and no payroll deductions of any kind, may be taken from the non-exempt amount." The exemptions apply to the paychecks of all Illinois workers including those who reside DECEMBER 1, 1967 - PLAINDEALER - PG. 3 * Mr Hi \r\ Pl.A-IA'DLAI i.R 385-0170 ment of subdivision property owners.
