McHenry Shores Mrs. Rose Lillegard 385-8500 Village Board Accepts Animal Control, Services The regular Board of Trustee neeting, held July 11, showed >ills being approved in the ;eneral fund for $1,236.18 and he MFT Fund$447.73. Points of greatest interest were the icceptance of the "Cooperative \nimal Control Services"^ with McHenry County Health Department. If accepted by the :ounty, resid^xtes)f the village will need to only] secure one animal tag rathdj- than one from the village and one from the county rabies officer. Tags would be available at the village clerk's office during normal business hours. It was also approved to authorize the Police Chief to purchase a holding pen for stray animals until they could be picked up either by the county or the owner. Most of the meeting was devoted to the road situation. Road* Commissioner Sam Zeimet brought the board up to date and then turned the floor over to Clerk Lillegard and Trustee Moyer who explained their trip to Morris. This meeting, in Morris, was for the purpose of securing the necessary forms and data to seek federal assistance inasmuch as McHenry County was declared part of the Flood Disaster Area by President Nixon. On July 11 the Federal Inspectors were in the village to appraise the damages to the roads, beach and debris along the right-of-ways. It was explained to the Board that they have the option of either accepting the dollar value as placed on the damages by they Federal inspectors as an outright grant or going througn\ a much lengthier procedure \ that could very well take us into J next summer with no road work f being done. No decision was' made as to which route to take ' at this time. Clerk Lillegard informed the Board that all Federal funds must be spent only after bids are let. This procedure could very well be too late for this year's repairs. Specifications for the proposed work must first be written and then advertisement for bids be published. By all means, the committee and the board is shooting for repairs prior to Sept. In the interval, it was approved to have Mr. Blake grade out the gravel areas so as to make the roads passable. Mr. Blake is a resident of the village, who like many of us, took the time to offer a temporary solution to get us over this difficult period. Trustee Schweikert placed an official thanks to Sam Zeimet, Sandra Moyer and Rose Lillegard in the minutes for their devoted time and efforts on this project. In order to prepare for the road grader, it was necessary to trim trees and to Pinkonsly, Jr., Jim Reese and Earl Buck who worked Saturday morning in the 90 degree temperatures we are grateful. If we had more help the job would have taken less time and the grader could have worked sooner. CREEK DREDGING The senior citizens are at it once again. All the debris at the site of the creek dredging is being sawed and stacked by our once again faithful help. Robert Steck, is the saw man and his helpers include Mr. Barnett, Mr. Pinkonsly, Sr., Mr. Jacek, Mr. Crouch. When I think that Mr. Jacek is seventy-seven years old it puts me to shame. Their concern for the job at hand is overwhelming. All of the work at the creek site is under the supervision of Road Commissioner Sam Zeimet. This complete project started about four weeks ago when it was brought to the attention of Clerk Lillegard who then undertook the project of contacting the right people to get the job done. A chipper was hired for all of the debris and when completed at the creek site, the trees on the right-of- ways will be taken care of Also all branches will be picked up this time only. After the clean up, anyone found depositing debris anywhere within the village limits will be turned over to the police departmenf. It takes complete effort from everyone to keep an area cleaned. SOCIAL CLUB Plans for the dinner-dance are shaping up to a point where the committee will be able to make definite announcement as to where and how much. By this time all residents should have received the flyer for the family picnic and corn roast. If you have not received yours yet, call the village clerk and she will be able to tell you who to contact. The November bazaar is shaping up This is the second fund raising function of the social club. All monies derived from the'bazaar are put right back into social functions for the village residents. If you have an item that you think we would be able to make for re­ sale, you are asked to please bring it to the village hall by Aug l, the latest^ All sample items will be returned to the owners. Of course, if you would like to make an extra item or so when you start your Christmas projects and donate them we will accept them gratefully. A bare 100 years ago, only 75 libraries in U.S. could boast of more than 300 books. ' New License Option Given State Motorists Illinois motorists will have the option of applying for reassignment of passenger car license plate numbers for 1975 for the first time through 262 participating banks; Secretary of State Michael J. Howlett has announced. Banks will not process new special number requests. "Reassignment service will begin when owners receive their pre-print license application^," Howlett said. "Mailing to passenger car owners who were reassigned numbers last year will stairt July 15. All p^e-print forms throughout the state are scheduled to be sent out no later than Aug. 30." Participating banks will accept the required pre-print application for reassignment, issue a receipt to verify the transaction and forward the application to Springfield. The plates will be mailed when available. In addition to the banks, the three motor vehicle facilities in Chicago and the Secretary of State's motor vehicle division in the Centennial building, Springfield, will handle the earlier reassignment request.
