PAGE 16-PLAINDEA^.ER-FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1973 VARIETY OF BUSINESS BEFORE COUNCIL MEETING (Continued from page 1) they should be honored while they are here. In other business, the Council approved the recommendation of the Finance committee regarding salaries of the City Clerk, City Treasurer and City Attorney. Prior to this year, those salaries were set by statute. Since there has been no raise in the Clerk's salary for six or seven years and since the City Collector's job has now been combined with the Clerk's office, the Council approved a raise in the clerk's salary from $8,000 to $10,000 per year. Treasurer's and Attorney's salaries which are now $600 and $1,000 a year, respectively, will remain the same. Attorney John Looze reported that personal notes had been sent to persons last paying taxes in the Lakeland Park Special Assessment district. Tom Bolger, collector for this assessment, indicated he had received quite a few payments with a minimum of difficulty. "People seem to be well in command of the situation", Looze noted. Alderman Rogers mentioned that he and others had been led to believe there would be bills going out in the middle of January or February before the interest began ac­ cumulating. Looze replied that notices were sent out last fall explaining this situation and that the maximum interest on each assessment was $1.17. Anyone with further questions was asked to call Looze. The Council welcomed Cub Scouts and their leaders from Webelo Den 1, Pack 351, who were in attendance at the meeting. The boys are working on their Citizen awards and came to observe a City Council meeting in action. Election judges for Wards 1,2 and 3 were approved by the Council. Fourth ward judges will be presented for approval at the next meeting. The Council approved an amendment to the noise or­ dinance which allows zoned business areas to use loud speakers, amplifiers or other sound equipment only between the hours of 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday. This ordinance does not apply to any religious place of wor­ ship using these means to signal a service. Ed Datz, chairman of the McHenry Planning com­ mission, reported to the Council on a flood control meeting which he attended last Saturday near Chicago. The program was conducted by the Northeastern Illinois Planning commission (NIPC) and covered various phases of flood damage prevention and storm water control. A report will be compiled and submitted to interested agencies in the near future. In connection with this subject, Alderman Harker mentioned that numerous homes in the Whispering Oaks subdivision were experiencing basement flooding problems as a result of storm water run off caused by large blacktop areas around condominiums built on high plains of land. Harker claimed that Ladd was made aware last Sep­ tember that such a problem could occur. Otto Larsen of Baxter and Woodman met with Ladd and presented his recommendations to handle the situation. However, Ladd felt this would not be a problem and if it did occur, he would take care of it. Harker said he would keep on this matter and report back to the Council. "People are being put to a disadvantage and Ladd has shown less than any desire to do anything about this," Harker said. Supt. Fred Meyer announced that an additional man would be needed to work at the sewer plant. He suggested that new employees at the plant be paid on an hourly basis for the first six months of employment based on $600 a month which is starting pay. Meyer noted that according to law, eventually the plant will be required to have four men in its employ. Jerome Miller of Lakeland Construction intormed Meyer that his company would extend curbs and gutters from Meadow Lane west to Beach road at a special price of $4 a foot or $13,400. At the present time, curbs and gutters are to be installed from Overton's corner, west to Meadow Lane. With this installation, there will be room enough for a five- foot walk and a three-foot tree bank. Without it, there would be a ditch right up to the property line. Pitzen said he would like to see the project completed to Beach. It would save main­ tenance, make a much better job and be a considerable improvement, \ Since no immediate decision was required, the matter will be given to the street committee for recom­ mendations at a future meeting. The city okayed the hauling of fill from the Lakeland Sewer project to a portion of the city park where the new city wells will be located. The city will install a permanent culvert and Kuch and Ingram will be responsible for getting a roadway into the property. Alderman Smith asked that more lights be installed in the city park. Installation was approved last year but nothing further was done. Smith was authorized to check on using the old street lights for this use. He will also determine on how many lights are needed to illuminate the tennis courts in the park for evening use. "City Clerk Earl Walsh requested that aldermen turn in their revenue sharing priority sheets so that they can be tabulated and presented at the next meeting. Along this same line, a letter was read from Mrs. Lillian Anglese, secretary of the Library board. This organization requested that 25 percent of the revenue sharing funds allotted to the city be earmarked for the library. Additonal space is needed there and the funds would be used to enlarge present facilities. Walsh said the matter will be taken under consideration along with other suggestions. Alderman Harker presented a ^letter from the Women's auxiliary of the Jaycees. The ladies wish to purchase a small playground equipment for the city park and wanted to know if city workmen would be allowed to install it. The Parks and Recreation committee will meet with the ladies and check on what sort of equipment they wish to purchase. They will also check to make sure the equipment is safe and can withstand hard use. If so, the city will be happy to accept the playground equipment and have city workmen install it. Meyers informed the board that preliminary plans had been drawn up for Lillian street. It was estimated that it will take 2 years before that project can be completed along with installation of sewers in the area. A letter was read from Hornsby's Family center in which they asked if it would be possible to have its parking lot swept by the city sweeper at least once a year. The store would pay the city for this service. The consensus of opinion was that this could be done at night once a year for business parking lots that wished to pay for the service. However, no private properties will be swept until the city streets are completed. Consideration of a fee for this service was turned over to the Streets and Roads committee for recom­ mendations. Hornsby's also sought ap­ proval from the Council for temporary use of a chain link fenced area 60 feet by 60 feet in the parking lot for installation of a garden center. The area , would be under a tent and in use four months during the spring. After considerable debate, the ^Council agreed to take the matter under consideration and report back at the next meeting. Meyer told the Council he will, be in Springfield next week an& will meet with state officials on the continuation of the Lakeland Park drainage ditch and on highway construction problems in an attempt to work out something before flooding takes place there. He will also meet with the Illinois EPA to see what kind of permit will be needed to allow effluent from the sewer plant to flow into the Fox river. A new Federal Water Pollution amendment went into effect recently which states that a permit is necessary before any effluent can be put into rivers and streams. East Campus Bands Unite To Give Concert The various East campus high school bands will present a concert Tuesday, March 27, at 8 p.m. in East campus gym­ nasium. Featured will be the freshmen and sophomore bands and the stage band. The concert will feature a wide variety of popular and serious music under the direction of W.N. Toalson.

He changed the tires in the neighboring station, then refused to accept payment because the mishap involved Girl Scouts. The act of kindness served as a very real lesson to the youngsters and their leaders, and most appropriately at the conclusion of Girl Scout Week. K.A.F.

Joining them are Mrs. Harcourt, Lynn Tomlinson, and her daughter Hope, played by Alice Wilson, who is sailing to England to be married to Sir Evelyn Oakleigh, played by Gerry Long, who is also on board. Dave Ritthaler, as Billy Crocker, is on shipboard because of his boss, Elisah J. Whitney, Tim Wilt of Wall street. The real fun begins when Billy meets Hope on board. They recall a past encounter and Billy discovers he has fallen in love with her even though he is engaged to Evelyn. He enlists the aid of Moonface and Bonnie, who go to great lengths to cnceal his true identity from crew and passengers. Romantic suspense builds as Reno realizes she has fallen love with Evelyn while Hope decides she would rather have Billy. In the midst of this chaos a deter­ mined Mrs. Harcourt decides the marriage between Hope and Evelyn must take place on board immediately. The situation comes to an hilarious climax when Billy, Reno and Moon interrupt the marital proceedings to in­ troduce a girl from Sir Evelyn's past. The scheme works and the day has been saved for all concerned, except Moonface Martin, who is publicly declared harmless. With period costumes and choreography combined with the music of Mr. Porter, this presentation of "Anything Goes" promises to be a most enjoyable show.

Green Eoooooooooooooooooooooooocoooooooooooooooood Mail Circuit Breaker Grant Claim Forms Senior citizens who earn less than $10,000 a year should begin receiving the forms to apply for their property tax rebates during the month of March, according to State Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr., (R-Crystal Lake). Skinner said he had been informed of this by Willard Ice, acting director of the Revenue department. "The circuit breaker tax relief should not be confused with the Homestead exemp­ tion," cautioned Skinner. Only homeowners are eligible for the $1,500 assessment reduction allowed by the Homestead exemption. Application is made to the Supervisor of Assessments of each county. The circuit breaker tax relief is available to anyone over 65 who receives less than $10,000 income from all sources. "The amount one receives depends on how high one's real estate taxes and income are. For purposes of this legislation, renters and nursing home residents are assumed to be paying one-fourth of their rent for real estate taxes, so they should apply also. "Application is made in two stages. First, a "registration" form must be completed and mailed to the Revenue department. (Copies are available from Skinner's office, Box 308, Crystal Lake.) Then, the department sends out a claim for grant form. The latter is what Mr. Ice says will be mailed starting next month." Skinner urges all who have not yet started the process of applying for the circuit breaker tax rebate to do so in the near future. "The money has been ap­ propriated, but senior citizens have to ask for it in order to get it, he said. ACCIDENT VICTIM IMPROVES Virgil Pollock, injured seriously in a head-on collision in Arizona last week, is im­ proving nicely. He sustained a collapsed lung, fractured ribs and lacerations. Friends may write to him at Mesa Lutheran Hospital, 501 W. 10th Place, Room 302T, Mesa, Ariz., 85201. 16,000 Letters Seek Help For Easter Seal Fund An estimated 16,000 letters will be sent out by mail by Easter Seal? Easter Seals this year are a brilliant blue, faced with either a white Easter Seal or a crippled child or adult being helped at an Easter Seal Therapy center. Mrs. Raymond Guhrke of Harvard, who for the second year heads the campaign for funds, said, "As in the past no goal has been sent but added, "we hope at Easter Seal that everyone will give as much as possible this year." This is necessary due to the fact that alj expenses are higher. Additional speech and physical therapists have been added. Those who serve on the board and the Women's auxiliary are aware that campaign funds do not meet the expenses. In fact, this year an officer of the organization said that less than 20 percent of expenses are brought in by campaign funds. SEW WHAT?
