PLAINDEALER PHOTO START NEW COUNTY EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM (Continued from page 1) Starr challenged, "If the water is as pure as engineers say it is, why not dump it into Pistakee lake?." At this point Robert Olson, who represents the McHenry County board on the Northeastern Illinois Plan commission, which is deciding the fate of the wastewater program, said it was too late now to be expressing concern. He told members it was almost certain the NIPC commission would reach a conclusion Wednesday, June 12. In spite of that statement, Member George Hubbard of Crystal Lake urged that the board pass a resolution asking the State's Attorney to take an active interest in the program and seek an injunction to stop any order which would direct the flow of wastewater directly into the river. The board expressed unanimous agreement. The board was informed of the program for processing certain township tax books on a split basis. Brown's Data Processing Service Center, Inc., informed County Treasurer Audrey Walgenbach that it would process bills and books on the initial run for those parcels not involved in the split situation with Cook and-or Lake counties. Some bills will be necessarily delayed because of tax protests in these counties. Additional charges resulting from the split processing will be in the amount of $2,358. Absolution recommended by the Transportation committee was adopted by the entire board. It appropriates $3,750 from the County Bridge fund for a bridge located on Wonder Lake road. Several appointments were announced, including that of Ervin Walters of Hebron to fill the vacancy caused by the death of George W. Lowe. Dr. Edward Wilt was reappointed to a three-year term on the County Board of Health, along with Robert Siegel. Dr. August Rossetti of McHenry was named to a four-year term on the Mental Health board to replace Dr. Wilt. Howard Snyder was appointed to the Manpower Planning council and Richard Swantz to the Personnel committee, McHenry County Vocational center, for a one-year term. Both are from McHenry. McHenry township was listed for an allotment of $2,441.87 by the State Department of Transportation. This is the largest figure for the county, covering 74.67 miles of road. The sales tax for February was announced at $38,515. Dairy princess candidates attended the board meeting and distributed dairy products during a milk break.

In commenting on the future of the Fox, he said there is a possibility that elimination of septic systems "may help to clear up the river". Referring to the additional water coming into the river, and consequent contribution to the local flooding problem, he quoted engineers who said this was "totally insignificant from piping". As for the water retention factor resulting from the anticipation of heavy development in the area of the new plant, Olson could not be sure. However, he pointed to an agreement by Lake county to establish a water retention ordinance stating that those who develop the area must retain water on their own property. Olson repeatedly returned to the fact that no one has suggested a better alternative method than the plan approved by the NIPC commission Wednesday.

TAX FACTS By Clifford T. Fay, Jr., president of the Illinois CPA Society (Last of three articles on how to stretch retirement dollars) Nearly all senior citizens are concerned about the rising costs of maintaining good health. Hospital and medical costs have climbed faster than most other expenses in the last decade. Fortunately, the elderly are at least partially protected against runaway costs by Medicare, a form of hospital and medical insurance worth thousands of dollars to those 65 or older. To help the elderly understand what health benefits are available, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants has gathered the following information. The Medicare program consists of two parts. Part A covers most hospital costs, including a semi-private room, general nursing care, lab tests and the use of hospital equipment such as x-ray machines. The patient has to pay some cost in accordance with a set formula. Unless you have been disabled for more than two years, you must be 65 and eligible for Social Security b e n e f i t s t o q u a l i f y f o r P a r t A . . Part B, covering roughly 80 percent of doctor bills and other medical treatment costs,is open to most persons'65 and over, regardless of whether they are covered by Social Security. But some persons fail to join Part B because of a $6.30 monthly fee (scheduled to go to $6.70 in July 1974) or because they subscribe to some other health maintenance plan. said conditions in Lake county are so bad that something has to be done. "McHenry county can't expect to stop Lake county from improving an impossible situation", he concluded. Part B covers treatment in a hospital, doctor's office or your home and includes part- time nursing care and the rental or purchase of prescribed equipment such as a wheel chair or hospital-type bed. Generally it does not cover routine shots or checkups, or drugs, eyeglasses, hearing aids, etc. It is necessary to sign up for Medicare three months before coverage begins, so if you are nearing 65, it is wise to enroll three months in advance of your birthday so that you will be covered from the earliest possible moment. While the financial resources of most elder citizens are sharply lower than what they were earlier in life, there are a number of offsetting compensations available that let them keep more of what they received. Retirees and their families should take full advantage of these opportunities^ It should be emphasized that the suggestions and reminders offered in these three articles do not describe all the requirements that may be necessary for using the benefits described. In some casts, where procedures are complicated, professional assistance may be advisable. COURTHOUSE SQUARES VMES HAVE CHANGED.
