We need an answer to our garbage problems, namely, a county land fill, if not privately owned, then county owned but self supporting." IDEAS FOR MEETING THEM "All these are real problems and must be solved. They will not go away by ignoring them and the answer is not, as always, "higher taxes". Our most crying demand is a youth organization of some kind, county-wide, for our ignored youth from 10 through 17. I believe it can be done." ROBERT F. OLSON Robert F.

IDEAS FOR MEETING THEM "AH of these problems are common to every community and so far, no one seems to have all the answers.

MAJOR PROBLEMS "Today the McHenry County board has the dual task of being an efficient governmental body, and more importantly, the awesome and complex duty of planning and protecting.

HALVORSEN MAJOR PROBLEMS "1 - Controlling development and environmental pollution; 2 Reorganizing county government; 3 - Equalizing assessments and justifying tax use; 4 - Finding funds for better operation and special projects , 5 - Developing communications and discussion between governments and their agen­ cies " IDEAS FOR MEETING THEM "1 - The development of a land use code for McHenry county and a continuing program for updating sewage disposal requirements. County cooperation with other agen­ cies charged with pollution control is essential; 2. 3. 4. - The first steps in solving these problems are research and discussion. Realistic goals need to be set. Citizen action groups can help.

Cut expenses by combining com­ patible offices, reduce department and committee payrolls and expenses, return the $3,500,000 courthouse spending to jurisdiction of entire board instead of a few men with vast freedom of expenditure." IDEAS FOR MEETING THEM "Cut county board expenses in half by reducing committees to three men instead of five who would meet every month with ability to call special meetings as necessary instead of present weekly meetings. County board should not be structured as it presently is to provide several thousands of dollars to board members at taxpayers' ex­ pense."
