PAGE 18-PUANDEALER-FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1972 COURTHOUSE LANDMARK SOLD FOR $50,000 (Continued from page 1) On a recommendation of the Road and Bridge committee that it be authorized to meet twice monthly for the payment of bills, Buss once again voiced a protest. He said he could see no necessity few the expenditure of $185 for an additional meeting. Instead, he suggested that the one meeting might be held on the third Tuesday of the month rather than the first. when most bills would be in. Road and Bridge Chairman Harold Freese commented that he didn't see how the committee could get along with only the one meeting. Further discussion resulted in the recommendation by Board * Chairman Walter Dean that a study be made on possible cut­ backs for all committees. The Liquor and License committee revealed the issuance of licenses which realized revenue amounting to $90,350 for liquor, $740 for amusement licenses and $50 for landfill. There are fifty-eight Class A (tavern) at $43,500; forty-seven AA (tavern. Sunday a m opening) at $39,950; two Class B (package liquor) at $1,500; four Class BB (Sunday a m package liquor) at $3,400; one Class A auxiliary tavern auxiliary bar) at $950; and one Class A-auxiliary (tavern auxiliary bar and Sunday a m opening) at $1,050 Several local licenses have not yet been issued. These include McHenry Enterprises, new application being processed; Sports Unlimited,still closed; Manny's Old Spot Inn, have not applied; and Char-Lees Fireside Inn, Ringwood,being held up pending approval of health license, Health department follow-up John Shay and G D Mclntyre were reappointed as Civil Defense director and assistant director, respectively. However, because of the shortage of money, the employment was ap^- proved only for a seven month period, to Dec 1 of this year The problem of repeated delays in the courts came up for considerable discussion and expressions of dissatisfaction by board members The particular point in question was the Gallek zoning case in Cary, where the repeated continuances have been in progress since the case first went into court July 6, 1967 One voice from the board challenged the practicality of the Blue Ballot, in­ dicating that it is next to impossible to rid the court of unwanted judges by the provisions of the Blue Ballot decision of recent years. It was decided that the Legislative committee will meet with the State's Attorney and judges to attempt to resolve this aggravating problem of delays. The Fees & Salaries committee reported on the HUD 701 Community Assistance project which the Planning commission approved. Two college boys will be employed to complete a special study in which they will meet with village trustees and planning commissions to discuss problems such as parking, water, etc. These will be referred to the Planning commission for help in solving particular areas of difficulty. The board authorized the sale of tax anticipation warrants as necessary to meet expenses of the County Highway fund to a maximum of $250,000 In action delayed from the May 1 meeting, the low bid of Woodward Ford, Woodstock to furnish four police cars in the amount of $10,298 was approved. Because there had been some question on the rugged qualities of different makes, Buss suggested that the cost of operation should be recorded in a log for later comparison As chairman of the Finance committee, Buss called for a meeting of that group, without pay, Friday, May 12. at 9 a.m. to discuss the current tax problem in the county. It is hoped that members of the Assessors association also will be present. Interested persons are invited to be present at the annex building. A zoning meeting will be held Friday, May 19, at 9:30 a.m. The next monthly meeting is Monday, June 12. The Social Studies II classes from McHenry East campus high school, with their teacher, Steve Crosby, attended Tuesday's meeting. MONTINI SCHOOL ADOPTS NEW BUDGET; HOLDS TUITION LINE (Continued from page 1) will take over the office at the Primary center Outstanding tuition was reported at $4,893 and book bills at $711 However, the figures run about the same when compared to outstanding balances at this time last year. A large amount of tuition was collected last month and continues to arrive daily. The board directed the superintendent to follow the board's policy regarding delinquent tuition at the end of the year. The policy states that no grades, report cards or promotions will be released until tuition is paid or arrangements are made with the superintendent or pastor. Graduation plans were an­ nounced. Wednesday night, May 31, 8 p.m., there will be a graduation ceremony in the Middle school gym. Graduation Mass at St. Patrick's church is Sunday morning, May 28 8:30 followed by breakfast with parents in the church hall. A Day of Recollection will be held Tuesdav, May 30. The sports banquet, under the chairmanship of Mrs. John Knox, is scheduled for Wed­ nesday evening, May 24. Ryniecki asked for a clarification on the uniform required for the seventh and eight graders next year. The committee announced that boys will be allowed to wear regular, long ties and the girls may wear any combination of the vest with skirt or culottes. A letter regarding book rentals for next year was read by Ryniecki. The letter was sent home with each child in­ forming parents of the change from purchasing books to the new rental system. Parents will be notified of the rental for each grade next week. A brochure was presented from the School Sisters of St. Francis, indicating the con­ tribution made by religious nuns to the parish. Board Member Willard Pierce commented, "If there is one thing the public can rightly accuse us of in regard to Moritini Catholic school or Marian Central Catholic high school, it is our failure to sell ourselves The public should be told that not only are our schools open but they are flourishing. We don't advertise enough." To correct many rumors which have been circulating throughout the school and community, President Eckstein informed those in attendance that four threatening phone calls had been received by people connected directly with the Montini school system. Tuesday evening, May 2, calls threatening bodily harm were received by Supt. Don Ryniecki, Middle School teacher Jeff Nellis, Sister Paulina of St. Patrick's con­ vent. The lives of Nellis and Ryniecki were threatened as individuals. The police were summoned and it was deter­ mined that the same individual, an adult male, had made all the calls. Another call of a similar nature was received at St. Mary's convent again on Thursday afternoon, May 4. A lighted flare was also thrown on the lawn of St. Patrick's con­ vent prior to receiving the phone call early Wednesday morning. The police and telephone company are continuing their investigation of the matter. The terms of school board members Willard Pierce, Dr. Gregory Eckstein, Mrs. Joan Weber and Ted Pitzen, expire next month. Elections will be held to obtain two members from each parish. The next meeting will be held Thursday evening, June 8, at the Middle school hall. LICENSE CHARGE Carl J.
