"They concern prevention of soil erosion, control of storm drainage , and the use of existing waste disposal systems." McHenry hospital's board of directors has approved the Master plan for traffic circulation, natural resources, waste disposal, and building construction, as part of its preliminary environmental assessment.

COUNCIL AGREES TO PLANS FOR SPACE STANDARDS (Continued from page 1) and seek relief from such standards With the consent of the Council, Mayor Stanek authorized the Zoning and Building committee to "expeditiously pursue the matter." As he promised at the special meeting held Aug. 14, Mayor Stanek appointed three aldermen to the Police committee. Pepping was appointed chairman and Datz and Bolger will serve as members of the committee. Alderman Rogers moved that the previous ordinance which gave power to the Police commission to act as a grievance board be rescinded and that the Labor Relations committee of the Council be authorized to hear the grievances of all city employees. The motion passed unanimously. In other business, City Attorney Narusis informed aldermen that the sale of the Schreiner property to the McHenry City Library had been approved by the court. The Schreiner property is located on Main street, directly west of the library. Alderman Wegener, chairman of the Purchasing committee, recommended that specified equipment for marked patrol cars be approved. Approximate cost of the equipment is $2,972 and it can be transferred to new squad cars when they are purchased. Councilmen approved the recommendation. Wegener also reported that the License and Fees committee received a request from Charlotte Gehrke for a Class A liquor license. It was the recommendation of the License committee that the request be denied. There are no Class A licenses open at the present time and the committee felt there were enough in the city now. In other committee reports, Alderman Rogers of the Finance committee, presented a group insurance program for all city employees from the Prudential company. The committee has been working on the insurance program for several months and felt this was an excellent plan. The Council agreed to adopt the insurance program effective Sept. 1. Mayor Stanek urged aldermen to attend a public informational meeting Tuesday, Aug. 27 concerning the Fox Chain-of-Lakes and the Fox river. Permission was granted to COLLEGE BOARD * STUDIES DEFEAT OF REFERENDUM (Continued from page 1) could plan for six or seven years ahead," Ryan said. "We need money for long range planning but the voters evidently do not have trust in us and that's why the referendum was defeated," he remarked. Several board members indicated that "we did not do an outstanding public relation's job explaining our position." Trustee Gerald Smith of Woodstock interjected, "As long as you have opened a can of worms, I am going to have my say too " "It wasn't some old people's group in Whispering Oaks that defeated this referendum. It was every community in McHenry county," he emphasized "We have not gotten across that this school belongs to McHenry county. It's Crystal Lake this and Crystal Lake that I have been saying it a long time, we are going to have to start thinking, acting and talking as if this school is county-wide," Smith said. "It was not inflation. It was not depression that defeated this referendum. The people are not satisfied with our management of their money," he said. "Everybody likes the college, the faculty and they think the world of the administration. They think we, the board, have problems," Smith declared. According to Smith, people feel the college is too identified with one city and "we are going to have to do something about it." Chairmen of advisory committees should not always be from Crystal Lake and college program should not be established with the thought of providing employees for Crystal Lake industries, he noted. Dr. Davis interrupted and said advisory committees are structured with geographical locations in mind and chairmen of committees were chosen by county-wide representatives of individual advisory boards. Chairman of the board, Barbara Pautz, remarked that it has never been her intent that the advisory committees would represent only Crystal Lake. Smith advised that his remarks were made only to be helpful, not offensive. "I have respect for everyone on this board," he assured members. the McHenry Hornets Junior Football league to hold a tag day Sept. 28. Mayor Stanek set the date for a special meeting of the City Council for Thursday evening, Sept. 5, at 7:30 p.m. for the purpose of recodification ordinances. The next regular meeting of the Council is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 2. Since this is Labor day, the meeting will be held Tuesday, Sept. 3, at 8 p.m. "I wasn't trying to antagonize anyone." Smith suggested that another referendum not be held until the board can sit down and get its problems straightened out. He felt the proposal would suffer another defeat if held within 90 days. "Read the statements in the paper and see what people think of the referendum," Smith said He also referred to comments made by Ms. Pautz, Dr. Ryan, Lutter and Dr. Davis in a county newspaper. Here again, Smith pointed out, only people from Crystal I>ake were asked to comment and not the entire board "That's because they were here when the press was here," Davis remarked. Robert Weidner, trustee from Harvard, said he heard the same comments as Smith regarding too much identity with Crystal Lake. He felt there was nothing wrong with the qudtes in the paper but felt some explanation should have been made that these three board members happened to be present at the time. Smith mentioned that a similar situation occurred in the past with Marian Central Catholic high school at Woodstock At first, everyone considered it a Woodstock school. Now, fifteen years later, it is accepted as being county-wide. "Part of our problem is that we are only two years old," Smith commented. "We are babes in the woods." Lutter said people should be aware thatat 7 cents, "we have the lowest tax rate in the state of Illinois for a junior college". "We are, basically, one-half of the tax rate of our adjoining junior colleges," he emphasized. It was noted that MCC now is tied for having the third highest tuition in the state. Also, as recommended by the state and the Illinois Junior College board, a reasonable tax levy for this year is 12V2 cents. MCC has 7 cents, Davis stated. It was reported that 52 percent of county high school graduates who attended college went to MCC. To help increase income, the board authorized Dr. Davis to contact area radio stations and local newspapers in an attempt ORNAMENTAL IRON Railings-Columns Custom Fata*ieating Welding & Structural Frozen Pipe Thawing STEEL SALES ADAMS BROS.

WE CHANGED THE CALENDAR Don't worry though, there'll still be 12 months in the year. And we haven't changed Chnstmas or New Year's. We have, however, changed Fall and Spring - semesters, that is: MCC has adoped an "early semester1' calendar; that means Fall credit classes will begin on Monday, August 26th - about two weeks earlier than usual, and will end on December 19th - prior to Christmas Now that we've done it, join us and be part of history in the making: LATE REGISTRATION WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AUGUST 30th Registration hours are from 9 am to 9 pm, Monday through Thursday, and from 9 am to 4pm Friday For further information or assistance, call a counselor at (815) 459-6800 r to encourage enrollment in various programs in the college. Lutter also suggested that an advisory committee be selected that would be "thoroughly democratic and thoroughly county-wide;; to help the college with its problems. Davis said this would be done and presented for board approval at a future meeting In business relating to sewer progress at the new campus, * Smith reported that he had obtained checks in the amount of $50.(KM) from land owners along with the right of easements through their property for life. Another $50,000 is expected from the city of Crystal Lake. With these contributions, the college will be able to proceed on sewer construction and remain within the amount budgeted for the project. The budgeted amount was $84,000 and actual costs amounted to $182,000. "Three property owners donated $50,000 in cash with no strings tied to it," Smith reported "These are wonderful people and it shows how much the people in the county think of the college." Smith concluded Lutter commented that I)r Davis, Attorney William Carroll and Smith, who worked on the sewer easement problem, did a wonderful job "I told you it would be Christmas in May if you got these funds and easements," Lutter remarked "You all did a lot of work and spent a lot of time on this project." While discussion was taking place on the financial position of various funds. Dr. Ryan questioned the necessity of purchasing tax anticipation warrants. He was informed that because of the late arrival of tax money, it is necessary to obtain operating funds. Attorney Carroll said the problem occurs because the assessor turns his books in late. It depends on the individual assessor in each individual township. Ryan commented that "everybody blames everybody else. "We have to borrow funds and pay $8,000 interest because our tax funds are not received in time. Let them solve their own problems." Ryan stated. He felt a letter should be sent to somebody on the county level PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDA. GUST 28. 1074 stating that the college district needs its money by Sept. 15. The letter should indicate after having been defeated in a tax referendum, the trustees are unhappy that an additional sum of money must be spent for interest on tax anticipation warrants and the college would appreciate a little cooperation from them. The board approved a two- year agreement with I I T. to lease the premises as an interim campus at a cost of $144,000 per year This is an increase of $2,000 a month over last year However, I.I T. officials presented figures to Dr Davis and Nate Pohl who negotiated the agreement, indicating it costs them $185,000 a year to maintain the Crystal Lake property and they are charging the college $144,(XX). This amounts to less than $3 a foot including utilities, Dr Davis informed the board They are getting no return on their capital, he said Lutter.pointedout that people have been criticizing these premises but it is impossible to rent for any less than $3 a foot. Other locations were sought but nothing could be found for less than twice that amount, Davis noted. "People will continue to talk but they don't know what they are talking about when it comes to renting for less than that," Lutter said. John Garrett reported that all concrete footings had been completed on the main campus building. Footings were also completed on the Science building to date. The contractor reported that some progress had been made with his structural steel contractor. Of the nine weeks lost due to the cement drivers' strike, six weeks have been picked up, Garrett said. If the steel is obtained, there is a good chance that one building may be up and enclosed before the severe winter weather sets in, Garrett concluded. In other business, approximately forty-five chargebacks were approved for payment and six were denied. Bids were approved for the purchase of photography equipment at a cost of $5,051.32.

Thomas R. Michelsen of 817 N. Center street, McHenry, was east-bound on Bull Valley when he crested a hill and noticed a car blocking his lane of traffic. He was unable to go around the auto because of west-bound traffic so he stopped and was hit from behind by an auto driven by Janice C. Blank of 3512 Shepherd Hill lane, McHenry.

L Dial direct By dialing the number yourself, instead of calling the Long Distance Operator, you can save significantly on station-to-station Long Distance calls. A 3-minute call to Miami during the day, for example, costs just $1.25 when dialed direct. If placed through an Operator, it could cost you $1.55 (station-to-station). Or even $2.65 (person-to- person). 2. Call after 5 weekdays. Long Distance rates drop considerably at 5 p.m. on weekdays. The same 3-minute direct-dialed call to Miami that cost you $1.25 during the day costs just 70C when placed after five. After 11 p.m., it costs even less. 3. Call on weekends. If you do your Long Distance dialing on Saturday, or Sunday up until 5 p.m., you get the lowest rate of all for a 3-minute call. Under the weekend rate, a station-to-station call to Miami costs just 65<t when dialed direct. And overtime minutes are just 20 cents each so you could talk for even 10 minutes for just $2.05. It's surprising how much you can save on Long Distance if you just know the ropes. So we've put together a folder you'll want to keep right next to your phone.
