PAGE 16- PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 19,1975 AWARD BIDS FOR CITY WELL (Continued From Page 1) all legal documents are draf ted properly. The Council agreed to be a joint sponsor again this year with the Junior Chamber of Commerce in presenting the city's annual Halloween party at East campus. Approval was given to donate $210 toward the Halloween party. This is the same amount given last year. The dates and times of various committee meetings were announced. On Sept 29, the Finance committee meets at *6:30 p.m.. the Sewer and Water committee at 7 p.m. and the full City Council at 8 p.m. The Street and Sidewalk committee has also scheduled a meeting Oct. 6 at 7 p.m. It was mentioned that Nor­ thern Illinois Utilities. Inc.. of Wonder Lake, the firm which operates the Lakeland Park Water company, had requested a meeting with the Sewer and Water committee. This matter was set for presentation at the Sept 2b committee meeting. MUSIN' AND AAEANDERIN (Continued Ffom Page 1) A slogan for stationery, "Bringing the Past into the Present to Prepare for the Future" was enthusiastically received. New members will be welcome at the next meeting planned Sept. 23, at 7 p.m. at the city hall. Without police protec­ tion there would be com­ paratively little civiliza­ tion. . APPROVE TAX LEVY, NEW SCHOOL BUDGET . (Continued From Page 1) her address nor place of em­ ployment is known. Mrs. Gertrude Casey, who was present at the meeting, asked what the cost was to the board to "eliminate Miss Paprocki from her job." Green answered that he couldn't recall accurately because he did not have his records with him. Mrs. Casey pursued the matter further by asking in what general category the fees would be included. Green th^p invited her to come to hid office, where he could check the records. Mrs. Alvarv intervened to comment that she felt these questions should not be asked at the meeting. Mrs. Casey" responded by saying every taxpayer has a right to know the costs. Mr. Swantz replied that costs to date were about $7,000. Later, he said he would like to change that figure to an amount probably between $7,000 and $7,500. This does not include any payment to Miss Paprocki. Ratification of the 1975-76 professional contract was accomplished. With the ex­ ception of David Benrud, ap­ proval was given to changes in the contract between the board and the McHenry Community High School Teachers association. Benrud explained that he was opposed to only one provision regarding inclement weather leave. The change read: "Teachers not able to report for work because of inclement weather shall not be charged with loss of pay, but may have it deducted from their sick leave if unable BANK N0TE$ BY DONALD DALEY PRESIDENT FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY $ ORIGIN OF THE DOLLAR SIGN $ Several plausible the­ ories exist but qualified re­ search validates that the dollar sign emanates from or is a modification of the Old Mexican sign used to designate the Spanish Dol- lar("pieces of eight") or "pesos" as the Mexicans called it. This Mexican sign was a capital "P"and a small"s" positioned up­ ward and to the right thus- ly P8 . (From: History of Mathematical Notations by Dr. Florian Cajori). Over a long transition period the way of writing this Mexican peso sign bec­ ame corrupted to a $ sy­ mbol we recognize and use today. It did not stem from a combination of writing "U" and "S" nor from the Herculean pillars design on the Spanish dollar. This genealogy accomod­ ates the fact that the Spanish dollar or "peso" was the most universally accepted and used coin money throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, the Unites States included, in fact it was legal tender in our country until 1857. Curiously, the dollar sign is NOT an official design­ ation of United States cur­ rency. While the sign is used on documents, fee st­ amps and other government obligations, it has appeared only twice on our currency and then never on denom­ inations issued for gen­ eral circulation. Whether you are interested in saving money. . .or bor­ rowing, you'11 find FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY most accommodating! You will also receive fast, per­ sonal service...with a smile! FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY, 3814 W. Elm St. Telephone 385-5400., to arrive prior to 10:30 a.m." Benrud said he felt this provision could too easily be used as an excuse for not at­ tending classes. Changes were as follows: Salary schedule changes ref lected a total dollar increase in teachers' salaries not to exceed last year's expenditures by 7.8 percent. New starting salary is $9,550. maximum salary (MA + 30. 15 years experience) is $18,909. ...Provision for Workman's Compensation coverage for the protection of certified em- ' plovees „whether performing paid or voluntary services, ...The addition of three sick days. Such days can be added to the accumulated maximum allowed to each teacher; ...Provision for one year leave of absence without pay subject to the approval of the administration and board of education. No more than two leaves per year allowed; ...Inclement weather leave. Teachers not able to report for work because of inclement weather shall not be charged with loss of pay, but may have it deducted from their sick leave if unable to arrive prior to 10:30 a.m.; ...Professional travel mileage reimbursement in­ creased from 13 cents to 15 cents per mile; ...Modifications in the required inter-campus departmental meetings requiring published minutes and attendance records; ...Increase in college credit reimbursement from $25 to $35 per semester hour not to exceed the actual tuition cost; ...7.8 percent increase in summer school teaching salaries. Resulting salaries range from $6.35 per hour to $7.30 per hour. A motion passed, recognizing the frontage roads immediately in front and behind the West campus building as fire lanes, with a no-parking restriction. This action authorizes the city of McHenry to include the areas in any ordinances designed to control vehicle parking in such locations. An area behind East campus also is under consideration and a discussion will be held with the city concerning designation of a smaller area because of the heavy usage of the small parking lot. Alexander "Lumber Co., was awarded the contract to furnish lumber for the new building trades house. The lowest bid submitted did not meet specifications. The Alexander Lumber bid was $12,166.79. The excavation bid of John Sivertsen, lower of two received, was accepted for $625. The Sivertsen bid of $9,320 was also accepted to furnish concrete. Vocis, Inc., of Chicago was low bidder to furnish a three- unit air conditioning system at West campus, replacing the present one-unit system which has not served the school well. Cost of the new unit is $126,650. The roof repair and tuck- pointing contract at East campus went to Complete Building Maintenance in the amount of $65,000. A combination bid of H.E. Buch for repairing water heater and a new water sof- McHenry Area Accident Scene McHenry Area Rescue squad members assist Frank J. Marschall after his car struck another auto at the intersection of Rt. 120 and Ringwood road.'The second vehicle involved is at extreme left of photo. The accident occurred at 11 o'clock STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYliORP Monday morning. Frank J. Marschall of 2410 McArthur drive, McHenry, was taken to McHenry hospital by the local rescue squad for treatment of injuries suffered when his car struck another auto Monday morning. Marschall told deputies he had just left his home about a half mile from the accident scene to go shopping and ap­ parently fell asleep. The second driver, Leonard H. Lindblom, 7618 South drive. Wonder Lake, said he was stopped facing south on Ringwood road, waiting for cross traffic on Rt. 120. when his auto was struck in back. A witness verified Lind- blom's story. An Irish Setter dog in the Marschall'car appeared not to be hurt but was taken to the Animal Control center. Michael H.Clark of 6526 62nd avenue, Kenosha, Wis., was ticketed for improper starting if a parked vehicle after a collision Tuesday afternoon on McCullom Lake road, just west of Ringwood road. Kurt H. Lauer of 1600 N. Ramble road, McHenry, told deputies he was east-bound on McCullom Lake road and as he passed an auto which had been stopped alongside the road, it pulled out in front of him and impact occurred. Clark said his car developed engine trouble and stopped partially on the roadway. He made repairs on the car and as he started up, impact took place with the Lauer auto. Consider Resolutions Select New Location For Annual Farm Bureau Meet More than 500 McHenry County Farm Bureau family members are expected to at­ tend the annual meeting this Saturday night, scheduled for a new location to accommodate the large crowd. The dinner meeting, set for 7:30 p.m. will be held at Building D on the McHenry county fairgrounds. An­ nouncement of the names of directors elected and action on resolution proposals will be among major highlights. John Martin, elected president by the board following the annual meeting a year ago, will preside. In his report, Martin is expected to call attention to several areas that demand Farm Bureau attention even as he praises members for their success in establishing an all-time high membership of 3,964 members. tener, considered at previous meeting, was the low; however a bid of Tom Huemann was lower to provide only the new water softener. The board, in its second consideration of the matter, decided to award the water heater work to Buch and the softener to Huemann. The board acted to approve partial payment of some ser­ vices provided by the ar­ chitectural firm of Anderson, Rehder, Yandre, Inc. The total cost amounts to $7,889.90 for East campus, and $6,577, West campus. A motion was adopted, to be sent to the state, adopting a Full Funding resolution. Action resulted from Governor Walker's decision to make education budget cuts. The board agreed to the student handbooks for East and West campuses. Only two changes were made from last year, these technical points in the areas of student smoking at East campus and the district's Drug Abuse policy. Both were explained in detail at previous meetings. Supt. Richard Swantz reported that letters had been sent to Payton^ Chevrolet, Mitchell Buick and Torkelson Lincoln Mercury in recognition of their assistance to the Driver Education program. The resignation of Ward Duel, chairman of the Long Range Planning committee, was accepted. The superinle'ident an­ nounced that notif cation had been received from Dr. Joseph Cronin, state superintendent, extending full recognition to McHenry high school for the 1974-75 school year. Swantz noted that the local district received the highest possible rating. He also commented that Dr. Cronin will be in this vicinity this Fall and has ex­ pressed interest in visiting the white house on Waukegan road now being used for an Alter­ native school. Ms. Terry Finken was em­ ployed as assistant basketball coach and Sue Grosser as assistant volleyball coach for girls. The resignation of Ray Mathis as assistant wrestling coach was accepted, and the board acted to employ Brian Wilson for the vacated position. Following an executive session, the board voted ad­ ministrative salaries with a total dollar increase not to exceed 9.9 per cent. The recommendation had been made for 10'2 per cent. Martin says the biggest cause of inflation continues to be pressures on the economy caused by the refusal of federal and state governments to reduce spending without in­ creasing taxes to pay for those added costs. The policy resolutions committee is looking into the possibility of presenting a resolution for consideration on the waste disposal dilemma confronting McHenry county citizens. Board members elected in respective township elections include Bill Olbrich, Dunham; John Raabe, Riley; David Gardner, Richmond; Charles Beard, Greenwood--all new members; and Don Luerrsen, Alden, Ralph Drafall, Grafton; Clarence Adams, Nunda; and Henry Boi, Seneca, reelected directors.1 Persons not attending the dinner are welcome to come for the annual meeting business session scheduled for 8:15 p.m. Following the business meeting, a dance is planned. Board directors who are retiring include Jim Book, Dunham; Richard Burke, Riley; Richard Arseneau, Richmond; and Ron Hansen, Greenwood.
