PAGE 8 - PLAINDEALEH-KRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1974 COUNCIL REJECTS CCPA AGAIN (Continued from page 1) police department and community relations. His remarks brought snickers from policemen in the audience. Regarding a remark made by Crawford in a Public Pulse letter in last Friday's Plaindealer, Bolger said the Police department has come a long way in recent years and - Passion and defiance sel­ dom solve a problem. none of the older or experienced, policemen seem 'to offer the complaint that the City Council has handcuffed the administration. "I do not think the City Council is handcuffing the police," Bolger said. "As a matter of fact, I would like to make a motion that we give Police Chief Espey a vote of confidence so he can go out and do his job," Bolger said. The motion passed unanimously. When Alderman Ed Datz of< the Finance committee argued that "we have been meeting with them (the policemen) constantly", Crawford.

He contended that the men haven't heard one word from Rogers, Datz or Pepping on the matter of meeting with them regarding their medical plan. Crawford also pointed out that there is back pay due some men. He said one officer has bade pay coming for over one year and he himself has four months back pay coming. Alderman Jerome Rogers, chairman of the Finance committee, admitted there are many areas of confusion at the time- due to some policy changes but the matter will be straightened out shortly. After listening to this discussion, Wolf asked the Councilmen, "You see now who the victims of these misunderstandings are?" Alderman Laverne Hromec was the only one who spoke in defense of the CCPA. She felt the organization could be of service to the city and not be an enemy. "Could we not rethink this?", she asked. "I have been listening to what has been taking place here tonight and from the tone of conversation, we do heed a mediator." She noted that the Police commission was established to hire, fire and discipline. The Council then added the idea they should work on grievance problems, she said. "How can a commission such as this also be the mediator? It just goes against their original function. This is the third time they have requested recognition.

Mrs. Hromec apologized to the Council for their reaction and said she did not mean her remarks to be "crowd pleasers". Wolf brought up the remark made by Alderman James Wegener at a previous meeting to the effect that if the policemen didn't like it, they should leave. Wegener was not present at this meeting. Wolf said that when police approach a municipal government with suggestions and they are met with such remarks, "that tells me he cannot solve the problem and I would say he should follow his own advice." When Mayor Stanek asked the Council if they wanted to change their position, his question was met with silence. Stanek said, "I think the issue here is local autonomy. I believe the Council wants to maintain this and I feel it is a function they are properly charged with", he emphasized. His remarks were met with a smattering of applause from the audience. "I think there is a little hypocricy here," Wolf commented as he and the police marched out of the Council chambers. Just prior to adjournment, Mrs. Fallon and Mrs. Himpelmann addressed the Council and said they were present as members of a group called "Support Your Local Police Officers". They did not approve of any encroachment on local autonomy but did sympathize with the plight of the police officers. However, the women felt the officers were going about it the wrong way and the solution they were seeking would cause more problems than they would alleviate. Mrs. Fallon warned that some unions have a tendency to get a foot in the door and "autonomy is taken away from local citizens and you eventually get a federal police force." Alderman Donald Howard park operations. It seems cars are parting around the Pearl street park after closing hours. Beer cans are thrown from the cars and broken bottles are found in the area, even in the sand box used by small children. Residents are also complaining about the loud and abusive language being used by individuals in and around the park after 10 p.m., which is the closing hour. City Attorney Narusis said that several violations are involved here. Beer is not allowed in the park, beer of liquor is not allowed in motor vehicles, the closing hour should be enforced and a disorderly conduct charge should be filed against those disturbing the peace. It was the consensus that the Police department should be instructed to increase and intensify patrols in and around the park area not only at night but also during daytime hows. Where violations are found, complaints should be signed to correct the situation. Alderman Pepping reported on the mosquito abatement program. The mosquitoes seem to be "getting a good hold on us this year" and Pepping explained why. In order for the spraying program to be effective, "it can't be raining and it has to be over 60 degrees". It's a waste of money to spray under any other conditions, according to Pepping. He assured the Council that the program is being kept under close supervision and when the right climate conditions occur, the mosquitoes will be attacked instead of vice versa. Alderman Lavern Hromec notified the Council that the hearing on the Lakeland Park Water company has been changed from June 19 to Aug. 21. She was told this was done because Ladd's attorney is in the hospital. However, an agreement has been made between the EPA, Attorney General's office and' the attorney representing Lakeland Park residents on the standards they want Ladd to meet. They are asking - for immediate phosphate ejection, questioned several rules and ^ iron removal within twelve to ordinances concerning city^sixteen months, a qualified Come in and browse, you'll get ideas for furnishing your bath and discover many charming gifts. 3012 W.

Those individuals filing the suit would agree to waive any fines to Ladd. Mrs. Hromec explained that should the city buy the system under these conditions, these improvements would be binding upon the city and the city would not be allowed to have a special assessment against these improvements because they are a part of the agreement. The Council approved the recommendation of the McHenry Zoning Board of Appeals that the variation requested by A1 Horn, Jr., for R-4 multiple dwelling for property on Logan street between Ponca and South street in Cooney Heights, be granted. A recommendation of the Zoning Board regarding a petition concerning the Alliance Bible church and McHenry AMC-Jeep, Inc. was postponed until July 15. Since the Zoning board was going to recommend denial of the petition, attorney for the petitioner, Roland Herrmann, informed City Attorney Bernard Narusis that he would like to appear before the Council. He is now on vacation and requested the July 15 date. The Council agreed to hear him at that meeting date. Authorization was given to Alderman Jack Pepping, chairman of the Park committee, to secure a professional planning firm to present a plan for development of property known as Peterson Park north of the city. A topography map will also be obtained which will include soil borings of the p?rk area. The entire cost is not to exceed $2,800, according to Council instructions. Approval was given to transfer the liquor license of Old Bridge tavern from Carl Thon to Chris Wijas, who has purchased the tavern. In other action, the Council: Voted to donate $100 to the Chamber of Commerce to help defray Marine Festival expenses; Approved a National Safe Boating week display at the corner of Green and Elm pending approval of the owner of the property at that location; Agreed to relieve Alderman Hromec of her appointment as chairman of the Public Property committee as per her request and named Ed Datz as the new chairman; Authorized closing part of Green street and Riverside drive for Sidewalk Days on July, 13 in connection with Marine Festival week; Approved the request of the Lions club for a Candy day Saturday, Oct. 12; Authorized payment of $18,980.52 for development of the new water well; Approved pay raises for Lt.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Veterans and their families are asking thousands of questions concerning the benefits their Government provides for them through the Veterans Administration. Below are some representative queries. Additional information may be obtained at any VA office. Q - Do Veterans administration hospitals and clinics treat reservists injured while reporting to, or returning from military training? r A - Yes, provided injuries and illnesses occur during travel time as specified in the reservists' military orders. Both active duty training and inactive duty training are considered active duty for this, purpose. Q - My GI Bill entitlement expired last year, and I am paying for a course at a local college. I need tutorial assistance, and wonder if the Veterans administration will pay for it? A - Sorry, no. The agency is not authorized to provide tutorial assistance after expiration of GI Bill benefits. Q - I'm a veteran who sold a home purchased with a GI home loan from the Veterans administration. Can VA restore my loan entitlement? A - Only if the property was disposed of for compelling reasons such as job transfer, destruction by fire, condemnation proceedings, etc. Before VA can restore entitlement, however, the loan must have been repaid in full, and the agency released from liability for the loan. A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches. -Proverbs 22:1.
