All block walls will be filled with sand. It was announced that one room in the new school will be available for public inspection abt>ut .mid-March, complete with painting and carpeting. All concrete work is now complete and the steel work is nearing completion.. The board learned that the county cost for maintaining classes in special" education for the year is $151,226. District 156, Mcllenry, will contribute $3,134 as its share. Members were informed by Mr. Althoff that it would be necessary to employ a qualified engineer for the heating and air conditioning unit to be installed in the new school, one of only five such installations outside the metropolitan area. The salary expenditure was estimated to run in the area of $10,000. The proposed athletic budget in the amount of $22,557 was submitted, which is $7,900over the budget of last year.

Also in accord with action taken by District 15, approval Voter League Backs Con-Con (Continued from page 1) "League members are in favor of holding a constitutional convention to review and revise the 1870 Illinois Constitution," asserted Mrs. Miyashiro. LONG STANDING WISH "The League has favored a convention almost since! its organization in the 1920's, but there has been no chance for a public campaign for a convention since 1934," added Mrs. Elliot Wheeland, McHenry, chairman of the League's local committee on Con-con. "This year the General Assembly voted 150-14 in the House and 50-0 in the Senate to put the issue on the ballot in 1968. Because the ^Selection will include a president and governor, the turnrout of voters will be high, and the League wants them to know why they should vote to have a constitutional convention. It will take a majority of those voting at the election to authorize the call." If the people approve a convention, the General Assembly of 1969 will provide for the election of delegates, two from each senatorial district. The legislature will also set the compensation of delegates and provide funds for the convention and set the date of the first session. After that, the Con-con sets its own rules and proceeds at its own pace, with authority to review the Illinois Constitution in its entirety. BACK TO PEOPLE When the Constitutional Convention finishes its work, its recommendations will go back to the people at a special election, which requires a majority vote for approval of changes. Major areas a convention could be expected to discuss are revenue, strengthening of the state's role in the statefederal relationship, the method of amending the document and the need for an article on local government. The League stressed that it is working for an Illinois concon because the 1870 Constitution was written in detail which hampers solution of today's complex problems. "The League and many other organizations will make suggestions for improvements to the convention when it meets," Mrs. Wheeland explained, "and it will be exciting to have a representative group working exclusively on Illinois' constitutional problems. The public will certainly gain agreat deal of information about state government and we will all benefit from debate and discussion on the best structure of government for Illinois." NOVEMBER VOTE The vote on Con-con comes on Nov. 5, 1968, but the League says it will take that long to reach the people with the story of why and how the Constitution needs overhauling. "We will have just enough time to make sure the voters have the information they need to cast an informed vote," said Mrs. Wheeland. Assisting Mrs. Wheeland in the study and presentation are Mrs. Frank Sek, Mrs. LaMarr Williams, Mrs. Daniel Weisz, Mrs. Frank Kratky, Mrs. John Nolan, Mrs. Alfred Konger, Mrs. Donald Meyer, Mrs. Frank Templin, Mrs. Lyle Paulsen, Mrs. James Dor an, Mrs. George Hoffman and Mrs. Kenneth Decker.

Because of newspaper articles appearing recently regarding payments to the Mental Health center of the county as authorized by a referendum last year, we are told the impression created in the public mind is that all money problems are now solved and there are ample funds with which to operate. Officers of the center tell us this is not true. While this financial help from the county will enable the center to set up a larger budget and increase the staff in order to assist a greater number, it will be necessary to rai se ai even larger amount of money through private contributions. Also, neither the state nor the county grants the center money in advance and salaries and other expenses must be met before a request for reimbursment is filed. This means the center must have funds on which to draw. This past week we welcomed back Dick Sagers to our composing department after an absence of more than three months i with a back injury.
