Everything from marijuana to heroin to cocaine to speed were being sold by the offenders, according to Tyrrell. "At the present time, we have approximately three quarters of a million dollars, in our possession which we confiscated from different sources during the past year," the Sheriff explained. Two years ago, his department burned about one and one-half million dollars of narcotics which had been confiscated by various means in the county. Assisting the sheriff's department in the apprehension of offenders from McHenry were Lt. Robert Kranz, Sgt. Gregory Burg, Sgt. Gregory Bliznick and Sgt. Daniel Kinnerk of the McHenry Police department.

SENIOR CITIZENS FREE HEARING TESTS SET FOR WEDS I S PM R.0. STENSLAND & ASSOCIATES RENTAL ON ZENITH * MAICO HEARING AIDS 3937 W Main St McHenry 815-385-7661 WEDNESDAY ONLY 1 S P M ASK COUNCIL VOTE MAY 6 ON BUYING WATER SYSTEM (Continued from page 1) and our negotiations," he said. "Hold it! Hold it," Mrs. Hromec interjected excitedly. "When did I say that?" Bolger replied disgustedly, "If you don't know I'm not going to tell you." Mrs. Hromec replied, "My personal opinion is that I want the city of McHenry to buy it but I can't ignore the opinion of the people who call me and say they don't want the city to buy it." Alderman Jerome Rogers, also of the Fourth Ward, had been trying to get a word in edgewise for 45 minutes and finally succeeded. He said that for approximately three years the purchase of the system has been discussed. "I have yet to hear one person say they do not want the city to purchase the system," he emphasized. "If there is a ground swell against the purchase by the city, they are keeping it pretty much under the leaves," Rogers said. He admitted that although he talks to a lot of people, it is possible Mrs. Hromec hears more than he does. Rogers stressed that at the meeting held between the Lakeland Park Property Owners' association and Mr. Lindstrom of the EPA recently, the last thing Lindstrom said at the close of the meeting was that the best way to get good water was to let the city buy it - the best providers of water are municipalities. Bolger then informed the Council that he would present t h e c o m m i t t e e ' s recommendation that the city purchase the water system during the May 6 meeting and that the aldermen should be prepared to vote at that time. Resolutions were adopted by the Council in recognition of the many years of fine service by Carl N. Weber, Leo J. Winkel and Dr. Peter H. Griesbach on the local Board of Health. Weber and Winkel agreed to terminate their terms of office in order to permit the appointment of members of the medical profession as - members of the Board of Health. Dr. Griesbach, who served ably as chairman of that board, is moving from the state and an appointment was made to fill his vacancy. The Council* approved the nominations of Mayor Stanek to the Board of Health as follows: Dr. August M. Rossetti, physician, 5905 W. Grove avenue, as chairman of the board; Dr. Howard S. Fike, veterinarian, S. Route 31 and Dr. James McMahon, dentist, 3616 W. Elm street, all of McHenry as board members. Stanek felt Fike's appointment would be beneficial since there are health problems in the city in relation to animals. Dr. McMahon has been very active in the clean streams program and its related problems. Stanek related that John H. Oakford, Jr., who has been a member and secretary of the Police commission board since its inception in 1968, had resigned from that position. A resolution was presented in appreciation of his many years of dedicated service to the city. To fill the vacancy on the Police commission board, the Mayor nominated James J. Blum of 4618 W. Shore drive, McHenry. Blum has a B.A. from Notre Dame university and an M.A. from DePaul university. He has taught at McHenry Junior high, Parkland Junior high and is presently an English department coordinator at West campus. The Council unanimously agreed to accept his nomination. In other reappointments, John Shay was approved as director of Civil Defense; the law firm of Narusis and Harrison Math Study Group Presents Plan Narusis as legal counsel for the city; Fred J. Meyer as superintendent of Public V orks; Mrs. John D. (Liz) Nolan and Clint Claypool to three-year terms on the Zoning Board of Appeals; Patricia Sands and James A. Fouse to -«live-year terms on the McHenry Plan commission and Arnold J. Rauen as member and chairman of the Police Pension board. The following aldermen were appointed by the Mayor to committees within the City Council for the 1974-75 fiscal year: Finance - Chairman Rogers, Pepping and Datz; Streets - Chairman Harker, Bolger and Hromec; Public Utilities - Chairman Bolger, Harker and Rogers; Parks - Chairman Pepping, Datz and Rogers; Purchasing Chairman Wegener, Harker and Howard; Public Property - Chairman Hromec, Datz an Howard; Band - Chairma Howard, Harker and Rogers License and Fees - Chairman Wegener, Bolger and Pepping; Zoning and Building (advisory) - Chairman Datz, Hromec and Howard and Labor Relations (advisory) - Chairman Pepping, Wegener and Hromec. Arnold J. Rauen, chairman of the Police Pension board, addressed the Council and presented his annual report and levy request. Rauen serves on the board along with Ronald Vacula, secretary of the Pension board since its inception in 1968. Rauen thanked Vacula and the two members of the police department, Police Chief Espey and Lt. Kranz, who were elected to serve the past year. He announced that the two police representatives chosen to serve this coming year are Officer James Molnar and Officer Kenneth Kunzer. Rauen announced that Police Pension funds have been invested in the McHenry State bank, McHenry Savings and Loan and Liberty Savings. As of Sept. 1, 1974, there will be $106,000 rollover available for investment, according to Rauen. The goal of the pension fund At their curriculum meeting of the month, the Harrison school board of education heard a presentation from the mathematics study committee composed of Mary McGraw, Marlys Newcome, Peggy Waelchli and James Golden. The committee showed the need for a program that could provide for all children by setting up three programs , one for students who are able to grasp only the basic mathematical concepts and skills; two, for students capable of a normal pace; and three, those students who have high interest and capabilities. This part of the meeting concluded with an examination by guests and board members of a large amount of materials used to help slower, average and faster students. Peggy Waelchli and Jack Darby presented educational reasons for a proposed addition of all-weather surface to the east of the school. Supt. Robert Bright pointed out how this area, as well as some proposed alternates to parking, would improve both safety and the educational program. Bright also stated that for very little extra, the addition of the all- weather surface could provide two tennis courts for summer enjoyment by all of the community. It is expected that the Sports Boosters might want to defray this cost. The board asked Bright, in cooperation with the physical education department, to bring the costs and a master plan for site use to the May 14 meeting for final consideration. In other action the board received a report from the Evaluation committee who has the responsibility for monitoring the progress made on the school plan filed in Springfield, accepted for consideration a proposed job specification for its superintendent, reviewed correspondence received from a number of sources and agreed to start their meeting of May 14 one-half hour earlier, at 7:30 p.m. Two Hurt As Car Overturns James W. Stewart and his brother, Steven R. Stewart, both of 705 Normandy drive, Spring Grove, were injured when the car they were riding in overturned on Hill road, near ̂ Solon road, Monday afternoon." They were taken to McHenry hospital by the Richmond Rescue squad for treatment of injuries. James Stewart who was driving the auto, said he was driving east on Hill road. When he saw chuck holes ahead, he applied his brakes but they locked and he lost control of the car. The auto pulled to the left, traveled into a ditch, flipped over twice while crossing the railroad tracks and came to rest on its top. The driver stated he was aware the auto had bad brakes and was on his way to a service station when the accident occurred. is to achieve an interest income of $10,000 per year. Eventually, this could make the fund self- sustaining and there would be no need for a yearly tax levy. At the present time, sixteen men are funded. It is highly possible that an additional five men may be added to the police department in the near future. For that reason, Rauen said, the investment system now in effect will continue until the additional men are funded in the Pension fund. It was also noted that the assessed evaluation of the city of McHenry is $34,936,134. Rauen pointed out that the percentage formula levy of $.08 has never changed for the Police Pension fund over the years. The Council accepted Rauen's report and expressed its thanks for the excellent job he has done. Chairman Pepping of the Park committee presented plans for summer work to be completed by June 30. Three park benches are to be installed at the city beach on Riverside drive. At the Pearl street park, a fence will be installed on the east side of the tennis courts, a summer employee will be hired to administer equipment, supervise programs, provide limited instruction and maintain the area. The committee also plans to broaden the scope of the summer program to include more activities for city children. At the Center street park, a basketball court will be constructed, a new chain link fence will be installed on the north boundary and a new sandbox will be constructed to replace the one damaged in sewer construction. In Whispering Oaks park, park benches will be installed along the walk and in the fishing area. The area torn up by the sewer project will be seeded and restored. The feasibility of constructing bicycle paths along Boone creek will be discussed at the May 7 meeting of the Park committee. The committee will investigate the cost of having the Petersen park property professionally planned and report back at a future meeting.

He requested authorization from the Council to obtain estimates on the costs of the program. He was instructed to do so and report back at a future meeting. Harker reported that he and Frect Meyer had discussed widening Crystal Lake road from Hanley to the southern city limits boundary. Funds are available through a Federal Urban Aid System of Funds if the city could come up with an eligible project. Widening of Crystal Lake road is categorized as an eligible project, Meyer informed the Council. He was authorized to pursue the matter and make application for the funds. > Aldermen Harker and Bolger of the Streets and Sidewalk committee indicated they had met with representatives of McHenry Savings and Loan and Gladstones, Inc., regarding acquisition of an easement or a workable agreement for ingress and egress from the Edgar property parking area. After lengthy discussion, no agreement was reached but it was suggested that possibly an informal meeting should be held between the City Council and interested parties in order to keep the lines of communication open. Harker was appointed to arrange an early meeting date for an informal meeting on the matter.
