APPROVE LAND OPTION FOR NEW CITY PARK (Continued from page 1) introduced the ordinance and said the need for the ordinance was prompted by recent police action. He felt the people of McHenry have the right to believe service will be provided on a 24-hour basis and "in that interest, I propose the ordinance." , Attorney Narusis informed the Council that there is no such right of government employees to strike and municipalities may prohibit it. Aldermen voted to donate $1,500 to the McHenry Area Rescue squad to help complete the new building and to p u r c h a s e a d d i t i o n a l equipment. Alderman Ed Datz reported on the progress of the rescue squad building. The men anticipate finishing, the building this month and plan to operate from there by tne first of May. ' * * At the present time, the squad has spent about $14,000 in actual funds. Approximately $15,000 was committed for the building. Their fund drive netted them slightly overv $20,000. However, they have also acquired a new ambulance which costs about $13,000. A down payment of $5,000 was made from fund drive monies. "I estimate that building to be worth about $55,000," Datz said. "This has been made possible by the capable volunteer labor they have had and the donations of materials and money", he pointed out. The rescue squad men have also indicated they would be willing to take over the operation of the aluminum boat purchased by the city last year for use of rescue operations on the river. The rescue squad would purchase a small trailer for $125 to transport the boat to an emergency site and a motor for about $250 to power the craft. Since they have room in their new building, the boat could be stored there. "Approximately $1,000 would guarantee them the finishing costs of the building and the additional funds could be used to acquire the motor and trailer," Datz explained. The Council commended the rescue squad for outstanding work and unanimously agreed to make the $1,500 donation. In an attempt to alleviate traffic congestion at the corner of Elm and Green street, the Street and Sidewalk committee, along with Fred Meyer, studied the situation and presented its proposal. The committee suggested removing the two parking meters on the west side of Green between the bank's drive-in lot and the corner of Elm. The remainder of the meters on the west side of Green between the bank parking lot and Pearl street would be bagged in an attempt to allow a lane for cars entering the bank windows. No-left-turn signs will be erected on Green street which will prevent turns up into the teller windows from that direction. Alderman Harker of the Street and Sidewalk committee told the Council that the State of Illinois Highway department insisted that something be done to alleviate traffic congestion at the corner caused by the back up from drive-in windows at the bank. They suggested making Green street a one-way street between Elm and Pearl streets. Changing the control bo^ at that intersection to handle this plan would cost about $15,000 which the city would have to pay. The state said the city could / use its plan on a trial basis"for 4 months. If it did not work, the state would insist that its plan be put into effect. The Council decided to give the Street and Sidewalk committee's proposal a trial, especially in view of the economy factor involved between the committee's plan and that of the state. Alderman Jerome Rogers, chairman of the Finance committee, told aldermen his committee is meeting and making tremendous progress. '.'We have a complete overhaul of wages and working conditions for all city employees and it is our intention to meet with each department and each group of employees prior to presenting our recommendations to the full Council", Rogers stated. He also announced that the Sewer and Water committee had met with Don Gerstad regarding the Lakeland Park Water system and they had come to an agreement. A report on the matter was presented to the Council during executive session Monday night but no action was announced. A member of the Lakeland Park Property Owners' association addressed the Council and said most of the residents in Lakeland Park do not want to see the city nurrhase their water system. They would rather have Ladd Enterprises (owner of the water company) be forced to operate the system properly as it should be run. They want Ladd to be made responsible for bringing the system up to standard the same. as other public utilities are required to do. Some felt if the city bought the system, Ladd would be "taken off the hdok". Residents felt that Ladd now wants to sell the water system because a complaint has been filed with the Pollution Control board against him. Bill Sullivan of Lakeland Park approached the Council and requested the city's help in renovating the Little League field at the Lakeland Park Community center. A group of former Little League players have gotten together and are promoting the project of repairing the field which has not been used for five years. They would supply the labor if the city would supply materials such as sand, dirt and fencing. Three teams have already been formed for boys from 8 to 12 years old. The matter was turned over to the Parks and Recreation committee, which will work with Fred Meyer to assist the youths on this project. Alderman Don Howard, chairman of the Fees and License committee, presented an updated list of building permit fees. No changes were made in new residential construction, new garages or siding fees. However, fees were increased for commercial or industrial new building construction and a change was made for pool permits - abovg ground fee is $10 and below ground, $25. Previously it was $25 for all pools. The new fees will become effective when recodification of city ordinances is completed at a later date. Supt. Meyer announced that Dick Weber of the Sanitary Sewer department had taken the Illinois Environmental Protection association test and passed the lengthy examination. "He is now a qualified Class 4 operator which is very commendable since he has only been with the department for a year and a half," Meyer said. Bids were opened on a street roller for the Public Works department. The bid was awarded to McAllister Equipment company of DesPlaines for $2,190. This was the only bid. The Council approved the ELEANOR FOLEY, LONG TIME AREA EDUCATOR DIES (Continued from page 1) school systems, died unexpectedly Wednesday, April 3, at her home, 3616 W. Freund, McHenry.

When company employees went to the parking lot of the business place they observed Randall leave an auto, then go to one of the trucks where he removed the gas cap and apparently intended to syphon gasoline from it. When spotted, Randall left on foot but was found shortly thereafter. Owner of the auto was determined to be Roger Rairie, who was at the scene. He reported he had come to the business place alone to seek employment and had left his keys in the auto but they were missing. The keys were found in Randall's possession. The latter contradicted Rairie's story and said they had come to the scene together. Rairie was charged with disorderly conduct for making a false police report. recommendations of the McHenry Zoning Board of Appeals to grant a change in c l a s s i f i c a t i o n s f r o m Residential R-3 to Business B-l for the Burrafato property at 4805 W.
