PGi 4 - PLAINDEAIER - FRI. OCT. 17,1969 COUNTY OPPOSES DEVELOPMENT (Continued from page 1) A hearing has been held in Lake county and the matter is now under study by the zoning board. Ward Duel of the County Health department plans to meet with the Health and Public Works departments of Lake county concerning the sewage problem. Many Lake county residents have spoken out in opposition to the development on the grounds that they feel the run­ off from it, with the contem­ plated raising of the level of Sullivan Lake, will do irrep­ arable damage to the Yolo Tam­ arack Bog, a natural feature which in recent years has be­ come the subject of widespread scientific study. A contract was signed for purchase of land for a new court house on Rt. 47. The fi­ nancial advisory firm of Chap­ man and Cutler was represented at the meeting to peruse the contract, which they approved. Rezoning is the next step, with the city of Woodstock to set a hearing date. In zoning presented to the McHenry county board of ap­ peals, a request of Road Ma­ terials^"orp. for a conditional use permit in Nunda township was postponed until December in order to allow the developer to plan for reclamation. Considerable discussion took place concerning a resolution recommended by the Road and i m n , % v J iw •» /% v Sunday Only!! 9 a.m. to Noon BLOUSES Women u©% OFF Men's SHIRTS BHN STREET MAU p L R D S T O N ETTT 1219 N.

It consisted of a request by the city of Har­ vard for annexation to that city of a portion of Marengo road lying between State Rt. 173 and County Highway 16, Airport road. Assistant Supervisor Hue- mann expressed a view that this was not the business of the county, adding that if the road t should be turned over to the city, that action would force residents residing along the thoroughfare also to annex. A vote disclosed negative votes only by Huemann and Su­ pervisor Rickert. A resolution was passed, to be presented to Wayne H. Men- zer, commending him as a "faithful employee of the Mc­ Henry County Highway depart­ ment for forty-two years". Mr. Mentzer, who served as sup­ erintendent for the past twelve years, retires this fall. The problem of tax objec­ tions considered by State's At­ torney Cowlin came up for: dis­ cussion. He suggested that tax bills be more fully itemized in some townships, which would give a better basis for com­ plaint. Supervisor^ Dean said McHenry township bills have carried out this practice, which eliminated many objections. The report of the Zoning com­ mittee was approved with one exception. One section calling for an ordinance on set-backs to be amended was sent back to committee. It was discover­ ed that the 110-foot set-back from the center of highways failed to take into consideration the fact that on four-lane high­ ways, this footage is not suf­ ficient. After some discussion, a re­ quest by Frank E. Ross for a mobile home unit at Harvard was denied, with members up­ holding a recommendation of the zoning board of appeals. The zoning board had listed as chief reasons for the "recom­ mendation: 1, it would become a tax burden to the area, es­ pecially if the development would increase the school en­ rollment; 2, additional policing would be necessary for a de- DONT BE SORRY LATER # i* ft** PLAN SERVICE AND EXPERT HELP AVAIL­ ABLE FOR YOUR BUILDING AND REMODELING PROBLEMS.

It was noted that if the or­ dinance covering mobile parks can be met, such request should be allowed. A matter brought before the board at the September meet­ ing concerned a request for the county to contribute 25 per cent of the cost of coverage in the insurance program, to become effective Dec. 1. The Fees and Salaries committee recom­ mended adoption, and the vote which followed brought a 15 to 6 favorable reaction. Some members opposing the move felt it would set a prec­ edent. It was announced that Vu- sonics Cable TV in Crystal Lake will present a proposal in December for installation of lines into this area in or­ der that more channels might be available to viewers. A report of the Agricultural committee disclosed that there has been dumping of waste, a bi-product from Abbott Labor­ atories in Lake county, in Rich­ mond township by Arnold May Builders. It was noted that there is an evident understanding be­ tween fertilizer and waste. The State's Attorney noted that he has filed suit against this prac­ tice. A joint meeting of the sher­ iffs office, Civil Defense and ambulance operators of the county to discuss the ambulance problem in the county was set for Oct. 21. A County Housing Code pre­ sented in late spring was adopted Tuesday. Mr. Huemann called it a major milestone in the orderly development of the county. NEW JUNIOR HIGH PROGRESS IS TOLD ~ (Continued from page 1) in preparation. It will be sub­ mitted to the board for ap­ proval. Members were informed that since the beginning of the year there have been thirty-one ad­ ditional children enrolled in Edgebrook, Valley View and Hilltop schools. MISSING -- ALBINO FROG AND SPHINX (Continued from page 1) has been filed against Eugene Crago of 4320 East drive, Won­ der Lake. Crago is charged with obtaining unauthorized control over a vehicle which was the property of Robert Congdon. His bond was set at $2,500 and the court date set for Oct. 20. HOLD PEACE ACTIVITIES AT THE COLLEGE (C ontinued from page 1) between thirty and forty at any one time. He said it was dif­ ficult to ascertain how many were students and how many were residents of the commun­ ity interested in the movement. A platform was set up on the lawn, where folk singers en­ tertained with appropriate songs and students were en­ couraged to express them­ selves. City police officers in Mc­ Henry said only one local store, on Green street, was closed for business because of the call for a moratorium. Wakefield had requested a • majority vote of the repre­ sentatives in favor of support for the boycott of not only class­ es, but of all 'work-as-usual' activities on Oct. 15." Wakefield continued to say in advance that the Vietnam mor­ atorium in the McHenry county area would provide nothing but an opportunity of expression for anyone feeling a desire to do so. No solicitation would take place, he assured, and "there is no intention of stepping out­ side legal limits, no classes will be disrupted, everyone's rights, whether pro or con, will be respected. The moratorium is a totally non-violent event." WOMAN TELLS OF BEATING, PURSE SNATCHING (Continued from page 1) last week in Chicago. Mrs. Barbour told deputies that she was leaving a part time job in a restaurant in the Merchandise Mart on the pre­ vious Sunday when two men ap­ proached her, beat her and took her purse, after which she hail­ ed a cab and went to her daugh­ ter's home. Asked why she had failed to report the incident at once, Mrs. Barbour told deputies she could see no reason since "it hap­ pens all the time" and she knew they would never be caught. She said there was $94 in her purse.

It is in­ teresting, although very often overlooked, that the partici­ pants and non-participants (ex­ cept possibly for those who stand to gain financially by a continuing war) have strong de­ sires for peace. It is only the numerous side issues of how to achieve it that cause conflict. There are some of us whore- call well that in our own school days, the word isolationist, or anything closely resembling it, suddenly became an unsophis­ ticated thought that marked the individual as less than intel­ ligent. After all, the airplane was here to stay and we had become "one world". Now, with space travel giving promise of bringing two worlds together, the trend is to retreat and mind our own business. In our book, this was always a good idea, and it didn't take a boycott of classes and clos­ ing of businesses to prove it. Wouldn't this be a wonderful world if some of us live long enough, and retain a memory sufficiently clear to recall past mistakes before we tend to drift into another dream world twenty years from now? Our sympathy goes out to the few individuals who are receiv­ ing full blame today for some­ thing that had its start longer ago than some care to re­ member. K.A.F. TWO BURGLARIES ARE REPORTED (Continued from page 1) said a large rock was thrown into the front room and into the picture tube of the tele­ vision set. A lamp also was broken. A charge of burglary has been filed against Donald E, Wil­ liams, 8203 W. Sunset drive, Wonder Lake by sheriffs po­ lice. He is charged with en­ tering a building residence of John Long, 8820 Pine avenue, Wonder Lake, on June 17 with intent to commit theft. His bond was set at $10,000 and a court date set for Oct. 20. Williams also is charged with resisting a peace officer and bond set at $1,000. OBSERVE SCHOOL LUNCH WEEK (Continued from page 1) some kind of meal, during the school day has continued.
