ROOF TOP RESTAURANT PLANNED (Continued from page 1) but does not regulate rates. Woodstock licenses scavenger operations and establishes the maximum rates." i According to Pepping, ad­ vantages of the proposed or­ dinance would be to insure quality service, insure adequate insurance protection and fix rates. He listed features of the ordinance as: "License scavengers, no limit con­ cerning the number of licenses issued; city can revoke license if regulations are violated; Vehicles shall be closed box; each vehicle shall be insured for $100,000-$300,000 liability; minimum service ~ curbside pollection once each week. Optional back door pickup at rates specified; maximum fee - - $3.75 for four 32-gallon con­ tainers each week (residential service) and license fee - $25 per year for each vehicle." ; A comparison of rates bet­ ween McHenry, Woodstock, Crystal Lake, FoxjPLake, Wauconda, Mundelein, Libertyville and Barrington indicated that only one com­ munity pays lower rates than IVfcHenry. Woodstock is lower and that is because they are able to dump their refuse locally. McHenry must go to Wauconda. An analysis of revenues and costs of McHenry Disposal since 1969 indicated that rates had increased 50 percent, wages 52 percent and dumping costs, 33.3 percent. It was also noted that wages are scheduled to rise 18 percent in the next two years and that the cost of a disposal truck has increased from $19,500 in 1969 to $31,600 at the present time. Bill DeVries of McHenry Disposal indicated to Pepping that he felt he would be able to hold the line for some time with the $3.75 rate. Aldermen were given copies of the proposed ordinance and instructed to study it and present any suggestions. Action on the matter was deferred until the Jan. 7 meeting. An Electrical ordinance which will go into effect Feb. 1, 1974, was adopted by the Council. However, the or­ dinance as proposed by the Electrical commission failed on the first vote and passed only after a revision was made in regard to one requirement. The commission felt that for maximum safety in single family homes, thin wall should be required instead of romex. Many aldermen felt this would be too costly and would discourage construction of new homes by young married people. Many also indicated that it hadn't been proven to their satisfaction that the safety factor was very different between the two systems. The revised proposal stated that electrical service for commercial, industrial, multi- family and single family residences shall be in rigid or in thin wall. All interior wiring Ishould be in BX, thin wall, EMT "or 3-wire grounded romex. - Mayor Stanek read a letter of resignation from Clarence Niesen, who has been a ^member of the McHenry Zoning Board of Appeals for many years. Due to other commitments, he asked to be excused from the post. The Council agreed to accept "with regret" his resignation. The Council agreed to pay $1,000 to the Chamber of Commerce toward the costs of holiday decorations throughout the city. This procedure has been followed for several years. Superintendent of Public Works Fred Meyer reported that the Illinois Environment Protection agency (IEPA) has instructed the city to proceed with plans to install phosphate removal equipment at the sanitary treatment plant by Dec. 31, 1973. The city is prepared to go ahead with this project as a grant had been awarded earlier to install this equipment. Completion of the project had been held up pending final instructions from the IEPA. Alderman Howard reported that his committee had studied the request of Convenient Food Store for a Class F liquor license which would allow the selling of packaged beer and wine. Since the city ordinance states that four Class F licenses be allowed and all have been issued, the request was denied at this time. The city advertised for bids on gasoline for the coming year. Only one bid was received, from Hester Oil, which currently supplies the city. The Council accepted the bid which will furnish regular gasoline at 36.4 and premium at 39.4 per gallon. It was noted that any increase in the wholesale price of gasoline during the year would be passed on to the city. Meyer noted that he was to meet with State Highway men concerning the posting of certain intersections as to "no right turn" after stopping for a red traffic light. Effective Jan. 1, 1974, a right turn will be permitted after stopping at a red light. Meyer is to meet with the state to see if certain in- SKIR0ULE PICK - A SPECIAL! RTX440 • 40 H.P.

Larry Booster of 1409 N. Chapel Hill, McHenry, reported that his home had been burglarized sometime last Wednesday. Entry was gained by forcing open the front door. Taken from the premises were a portable color television set and a wrist watch. Drawers had also been ransacked but it appeared nothing else was taken. A black and white television set, a 35 mm camera and a wristwatch were stolen from the summer home of John Bauer at 2009 Woodlawn Park, McHenry. The theft occurred sometime since Dec. 9. A neighbor who had been watching the house of vacationing Adrian Armit at 2005 Woodlawn Park, McHenry, discovered the home had been entered through a basement door. Missing was a 21-inch console color television set. The burglary was discovered Saturday morning.

The Council approvement payment of principal and in­ terest to Home State Bank of Crystal Lake for traffic control signal bonds at $5,125.63 and for storm sewer bonds at $6,744.45. The next meeting of the City Council will be held Thursday, Dec. 27, at 8 p.m. The meeting date was changed because if the regular schedule had been followed, the meeting would take place on New Year's Eve.

They want the giver to be sure the recipient wants a pet and can care for it, and the organization doesn't stop, there. It tries to fit the animal's disposition to the person who will be receiving it. It's a good idea for a different kind of gift, but don't enter into it without some thought and preparation. The Plaindealer Christmas dinner last week was one of the best -- and all of them are good. A foot of snow may keep folks away from work, but it will never keep them from a sumptuous feast and non-shop talk. Next is our office party, which also rivals just about any other of its kind we have heard about. This year it comes on the heels of a third publication of the newspaper - a first in our history. Although readers very likely won't be reading our next issue until after the holiday, it is going to press at an early hour. If you've been taking a close look at a map of the United States recently, very likely you've found a number of names to remind you of the upcoming holiday. Children and Family Services, 224 W. Judd street, Woodstock. Maybe this will be another miracle of the Christmas season. For instance, you may have seen Christmas, Fla.; Santa Claus, Ind.; Bethlehem, Pa., Md„ Conn., Ky., N. H., Ga., Ind. and N.H.: Holy City, Calif.; Herod, 111.; Nazareth, Pa.; Palestine, Texas, plus St. Mary and St. Joseph in about every state.
