> VARIETY OF BUSINESS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL (Continued from page 1) than doubled since 1970 but their salaries have not. Based on the first four months of each year mentioned, these statistics were brought out: Phone calls answered in 1970-- 4,808, in 1973-9,034; Leads computer messages in 1971- 2,021, in 1973-4,028; Rescue squad calls handled in 1972-78, in 1973-143. Next to appear before the Council was Mrs. Patricia Burke, who is records clerk for the police department. She stated she had been hired 3M> years ago to completely revamp and reorganize the department's old record system which was inadequate and outdated. Her duties include preparing monthly federal, state, city and F.B.I, reports; processing all city police investigations, accidents, tickets and com­ plaints as well as answering all newspaper inquiries. She commented that her work has increased in volume and is increasing every month. Since she is the only records clerk, when she is absent due tor illness or vacation, the work piles up until her return. Mrs. Burke pointed out that when she started there were seven policeman and now there are sixteen. Crystal Lake has three persons doing the same amount of work she is doing and the county has seven employees hanafing their clerical work. She emphasized that she felt she was justified in asking for a raise in pay since she has only received a $12 a week increase in the past Vk years. Alderman Jerry Rogers, chairman of the Finance committee, commented that there certainly appeared to be a reason for review of the situation and his committee would be glad to meet with the women and listen to their requests. Mayor Joe Stanek in­ structed that committee to ; meet and bring back a report at the next Council session. Under unfinished business. Mayor Stanek was again called upon to cast the deciding vote when a tie occurred on the question of issuing a liquor license to George Tourville and Evo R. Manzardo for the purpose of re-opening the Fox Hole tavern in the Riverside hotel. Alderman George Harker and Jerry Rogers ftffdVed tffcf "MSfense be granted. On roll call vote, Bolger, Harker, Pepping and Rogers voted yes, while Datz, Howard, Hromec and Wegener disap­ proved. Mayor Stanek voted yes and declared the motion carried. This action took place after a lengthly discussion between the Council and Bruno Manzardo, owner of the hotel. Manzardo told the aldermen that he strongly objected to derrogatory remarks made at the last Council meeting which appeared in the newspaper. He L stated he had been owner or part-owner of the hotel for over twenty years and had no more control over the tenants who come in there than anyone has in other businesses. "I have never been convicted of a felony or connected with any gambling," Manzardo emphasized. He felt the aldermen should not judge the hotel or make any remarks until they come in and look the ^ place over. He informed them they were welcome to examine his place anytime. The Fox Hole tavern had been closed voluntarily by Manzardo six years ago and he was told at that time by Former Mayor Donald Doherty that he could obtain a license if he wished to do so at a later date. City Clerk Earl Walsh reported that letters seeking references on the two proposed tavern operators, Tourville and Manzardo, had been returned and all reports were very good. Based on that information, Harker and Rogers present their motion for granting the liquor license. During Council action several weeks ago, approval was given for issuing a Class B liquor license to Dorkie's Beef and Egger. However, in­ vestigation revealed that state and local laws forbid the sale of liquor within 100 feet of a church. This distance is measured from property line to property line. Since the distance between Dorkie's and the Zion Lutheran church is 89 feet, which is the road right-of- way, the Council rescinded its previous action and refused to ^•ant the license. In other business, the following matters were ap­ proved: Established an overtime pay rate of $6.50 for public works employees. Increased meter readers' pay from 25 to 35 cents per meter. Authorized the City Clerk to advertise for bids for a new city dump truck. Transfered taxi license for McHenry Yellow Cab from Al Bruno to Elmer Glosson who is the new owner. Designated First National Bank of McHenry, McHenry State Bank and McHenry Savings and Loan as depositories for city funds provided they meet the required standards. "Issued vouchers against Lakeland Park Special Assessment for payments to Baxter and Woodman for $2,923.14 and Kuch and Ingram for $246,055.17 for work com­ pleted on that project. A letter was read from McHenry Chamber of Com­ merce President Dave Benrud requesting permission to present a fireworks display following the drum corps competition on Sunday, July 15. This would conclude the week- long Marine Festival activities. The letter stated Worldwide of McHenry would handle the display which would take place no later than 10:30 p.m. Alderman Howard moved permission be granted, seconded by Alderman Wegener. On roll call vote, all approved except Rogers. He explained he was not against the Chamber of Commerce, just against all fireworks in general. Permission was granted. Mayor Stanek presented a letter from Raymond L. Smith which stated he wished to resign as a member of the Planning commission. On the motion to . accept his resignation, Bolger, Harker, Howard, Hromec, Pepping and Wegener voted yes while Datz and Rogers voted no. Another citizen appearing before the Council was Mrs. Russell Hopp representing the Women's auxiliary of the Jaycees who presented a proposal for remodeling the swing and fire engine area at the city park. The ladies will meet with the Parks committee to consider the suggestion; Robert W. Layer, Jr., vice- president of the Defenders of the Fox River, told aldermen It aerial photos are being maaBsOf the flood stages of tht river fbfc^uture records. Shorfld the city destre^opies for fmure reference, the>'~~--wfn be available. The entire county is also being photographed for use in flood disaster cases. Wilbert Hecht presented evidence of inequities in his tax assessment bills and the matter was turned over to City At­ torney Narusis for further study and clarification. Supt. of Public Works Fred Meyer announced that clean-up days will be held again this year. The exact dates will be released at a later time. A letter was received from Dr. William A. Nye which stated that the rent on the parking lot in back of the stores on the east side of Green street would be raised from $200 to $350 per month starting July 1. Mayor Stanek authorized the Public Property committee to meet with Dr. Nye on this matter. Mayor Stanek announced that City Treasurer Tom Bolger had sent delinquent notices to persons who have not paid their special assessment bills in the Cooney Heights and Golfview subdivisions. The ten- year time period is now up and if the bills are not paid, legal action will be taken. Aldermen Howard and Wegener of the Third ward presented a list of requested improvements for their ward. Named were blacktop and repair for the following streets: Freund avenue and Church from the firehouse to Grand avenue; Court street from Washington to Pearl; Main street from Green to Front; Waukegan road from Green to Front and Riverside drive from Pearl to the end of the city limits. Also, improve lighting in parking lot in back of Ben Franklin store, install sidewalks along the west and north sides of the city park and clean up the lot at Third and Waukegan road where the old water tower stood and possibly install park benches there.

Further in­ formation will be forthcoming following another meeting this week with Edgar. A report by Alderman Pepping regarding the mosquito abatement problem revealed he is making a thorough and intensive study of the problem.

SCHOOL DISTRICT PLANS REFERENDUM (Continued from page 1) advanced degrees will return to „ the school system sufficient benefits to warrant the assistance given them. Supt. Robert Boos informed the board of a decision by the Board of Review which was received Tuesday. It disallowed the protest of the school district concerning about ten pieces of property for which District 15 felt the assessment was not high enough. With the Review board's decision that the assessment was equitable, the school will now ask for a hearing. The board agreed to contact Thomas F. Bolger, special collector for the city of Henry on the special assessment in Lakeland Park, protestiha the amount asked of the school on District 15 property in that area. The total figure runs 725.07. The first installment of $4,382.46 plus interest at the rate of 6 per cent p^r annum is due Jan. 2, 1974 ancNujie sub­ sequent installments oT~ $4,371.40 plus interest are due each Jan. 2 through 1983. p 4ieferring to a particular part of a form letter sent to all persons involved in the special assessment, board members questioned whether they should not be considered the "public benefit" specified to be paid by the city of McHenry. The total amount of the property assessment for the sewer project amounts to $1,268,430.03, not including the "public benefit" to be paid by the city. The District 15 lawyer said action by the Council is not unconstitutional since it is forbidden only from taxing state and federal property. The second annual main­ tenance tour of the district has been set for May 12, at which time board members will be informed on the needs in the individual buildings. Some of these needs were set forth, to be studied as they take the tour. Don Toole, who heads the summer school program, reported on preliminary plans for 1973 seasofi, which runs from June 13 to July 14. He expressed enthusiasm about the project and the course selections offered local youngsters. "Every emphasis is being given the enrichment and cultural dimensions", he ad­ ded. Free bus service is provided to all who are enrolled. Toole would like at least fifteen students in each course. Thirty-seven different classes will Jae offered, seventeen for elementary and twenty for / Junior high students. Thjs sets a record for the district Plans were announced for graduation, following much the same^Sattern as last year. The tor high school program is set for 7 p.m., followed at 8:30 by the Parkland school graduation. A revised type of registration procedure for parents in the district was announced, ef­ fective for the next school term. Pupil registration forms which heretofore had to be completed each year, are necessary only if changes have taken place since the previous year. Payment of fees will be made by mail or in person. Bids were accepted to supply food items for next year. Purity Baking company was low bidder for sandwich bread, $.37 for a 1»2 pound loaf; ham­ burger and hot dog buns, $.28 per dozen. The bread was up five cents from the previous PAGE 19-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1973 POPS CONCERT ON WEEKEND AT year, and the buns were in­ creased by two cents per dozen. Spinney Run Farms, low bidder, received the contract to deliver white milk at $.0655 per half pint of white and $.0675 per half pint of chocolate. Schoep's Ice Cream company was low bidder to sunoly the district with its ice cream needs for the year. The Inlander company received the nod to furnish mimeo and duplicator paper. It presented the lowest of four bids. Action was taken to reaffirm as the official policies and procedures, the contents of the board of education policy manual as previously ap­ proved, with certain revisions. One of these states that the board assumes financial responsibility for hospital and major medical insurance and a $5,000 term life insurance policy for all full time em­ ployees of the district. Approval was given to the personnel report submitted. This included the resignation of Candace Fossum as third grade teacher at Edgebrook; the transfer of Kathleen Bigger- staff from fifth to fourth grade at Edgebrook and James Blum from Gamma team. Parkland, to Language Arts at Junior high. The report also included the resignations of Christine Kern and Delores Romanus in the bookkeeping central office. Barbara Kress and Elyse Reining were employed to fill these vacancies; Dorothy Bazen was named teacher aide at Junior high and Ralph Justen, custodian at Valley View. In other business, the board passed a resolution to allow an easement for Illinois Bell to place underground cable on Edgebrook school property.
