PLAINDEALER PHOTO "Marijuana is not the end in drugs", said Mickey Finn, professional YMCA director of La- Grange, when he spoke to large assemblies of high school students in separate programs at McHenry's east and west campuses this past week. Speaking on drugs in general and of his work with high school students with this problem, Finn attempted to impress upon his students that young people usually go on to a more serious type of drug. He added that alcohol could not be compared to drug addiction, which decomposes the blood, causes brain damage and often leads to a desire to commit suicide.

The development of property in the city and projected growth make it imperative that proposed plans be put into action. First of all, the Council points out that new subdivisions and annexed property pay their way in improvements. The subdivision control ordinance sets forth requirements for these areas. In the new subdivisions, the developer installs improvements such as sewer mains.

OUTSTANDING 4-H MEMBERS HEAR INDIA DELEGATE Miss Nancy Maxwell, 1967 International Farm Youth Exchange delegate to India, was the featured speaker at the McHenry County 4-H honors banquet held Oct. 20 in Crystal Lake. She told of her experiences while living with host families in India for six months. The 4-H'ers found her slide presentation and native dress very informative. Ninety outstanding 4-H'ers and 4-H Junior leaders were honored by Sharon Zook and David Smith, assistant extension advisors in Home Economics and Agriculture, respectively. They presented certificates and pins to the 4-H'ers. The banquet was planned by the Cooperative Extension staff and sponsored by the McHenry County Farm Bureau, McHenry Farm Service, McHenry County Fair association, Federal land bank and Production Credit association. Mr. Pitzen and Mr. Looze explained that the city had been planning its election for expansion of the sewerage system for some time but held back on a date until the school referendum had passed. -The Council now feels it must go ahead, as planned, with the Dec. 10 date. School board members expressed concern for the problem but stated that architects have given a nineteen-month period required to have a school in readiness for pupils from the day the bond issue passes. A delay in presenting the referendum until after the first of the year would prevent completion of the building by the fall of 1970. After considerable discussion, members decided to meet with the Citizens' Advisory (Continued on page 12) each hookup in the residential area, with higher fees for business and industry. These fees are for the operation of the plant and system. Annexed property, such as Lakeland Park and Lakeland Shores, pay for their sewer through special assessments. That is, each property owner Is assessed his proportionate share. This is a point the Council wishes to make clear since occasionally misinformation causes confusion. Studies made by Baxter and Woodman, Civil and Sanitary Engineers, advised that the city must either enlarge the present sewage treatment plant or build a new plant in another area. Cost estimates clearly showed that enlargement of the present plant with construction of mains to areas to be served would be less* costly than building a second plant. With this in mind, the city purchased the Chuck Coles property which adjoins the existing treatment plant. " .The next step is to present a referendum to the people of McHenry for authorization to sell general obligation bonds. This issue will be in the amount of $675,000.00 and, as stated, will be needed for plant and main construction, not for the construction of sewers for individual property owners. Addition-' al construction costs will be paid through revenue bonds. In this respect, additional users will bring in more revenue.
