League hopes that by bringing together a variety of public and special interest groups in an open and critical examination of the pervading issue of land use, that such a forum will develop a consensus of views that will lead to sound public policy on future land use and that both public and private rights can be adequately represented and protected. "The proper use of the ad­ mittedly limited resource of land, hopefully balancing both public and private rights, may well be the most important public policy question facing residents of this area for the next decade and perhaps beyond," declared Jean Plews, coordinator of the league's project. "We are hopeful this public forum will significantly help shape future decisions on l&nd use since League will compile and make available the comments and substance of the public forum meetings," Mrs. Plews stated. The public forum meetings are scheduled for April 7, 10 and 16, in Woodstock, Crystal Lake and McHenry, respec­ tively. Details as to times and places will be announced at a later date.
