SIGN VANDALISM PROBLEM OF CONCERN (Continued From Page 1) within a period of five years, the proceedings be vacated. Considerable time was given to a discussion of grant reviews. Of particular interest was proposed funding asked by the Northeastern Plan com­ mission from the National Park Service for restoration and preservation of the old McHenry county courthouse. This building is now a registered national landmark. The entire board expressed opposition to this restoration project for a structure that is now a privately owned en­ terprise. Application for a $294,000 grant was made for restoration that included modernization of the buildings, heating and cooling system, drainage and paving im­ provements and landscaping. Members were informed that at the September meeting of the McHenry County Regional Planning commission, Walter Dean, chairman of the County board, and Earl Schultz, planning commissioner, had made a motion that the grant be held in abeyance. The board granted approval for the McHenry County Regional Planning commission to retain one staff person half- time, working specifically on the Lake and McHenry Council of Goverments assignment. Zoning Committee members, Freese and Collins, had previously appeared before Finance and Salaries com­ mittee regarding a resolution for a planning grant for LAMCOG. Committee mem­ bers were assured at that time that no additional employees would be needed to obtain this grant and that Nunda township would be making a $2,000 contribution. The entire board was in agreement to seek this grant. LAMCOG pertains to a particular flood plain problem between I^Iunda and Wauconda townships and Algonquin township. It was formed to study the feasibility of correcting problems with cesspools, water plains, etc. Before the vote, Marx Jones reminded members that if the resolution to obtain the grant should not be passed the county would be giving up $7,000 because only $5,000 is required for the staff person and the sfte grants calls for $12,000. * Confusion caused by a per­ sonnel handbook adopted last yeaYjuras discussed at length in connection with a system of wage increases in a discussion of the tentative budget. In­ creases according to the particular position held as opposed to proficiency rating raises were discussed. To a question concerning whether or not it is mandated that increases be a particular amount, Chairman Klemm of the Finance and Salaries committee said this was not so, but there are "suggested in­ creases". After almost two hours, action on amendments to the handbook was tabled and the matter sent back to committee for further study. A Finance and Salaries committee report was ap­ proved, containing a portion pertaining to the relatively new enactment of the Homestead Exemption and the enactment of the Circuit Breaker tax relief over which there is confusion by some senior citizens. Board member Willis Simms of McHenry asked that realtors notify both buyer and seller of these tax breaks to clarify the financial responsibility when property sales are negotiated. Richard Klemm, chairman of the committee, told members that 5,837 senior citizens had asked for the Homestead benefits last year, and there were 4,882 renewals. To a question as to why reports must be filed by Sept. 1, it was explained that this is the law, and must be followed. At this point Cal Skinner, Sr., interrupted to offer this opiniofiT'Tm glad the Finance committee and the Board of Review will follow the letter of the law regarding taxing. So far this hasn't been the policy of the county or state". Jerome Olsen of McHenry was reappointed to serve on the McHenry county Public Building commission until September of 1980. On a motion of Thomas Huemann of McHenry to accept two reappointments, Klemm said he was disappointed that no applications had been received. He was particularly concerned with the lack of interest as it pertained to the Zoning Board of Appeals. Klemm hastened to say that he felt the work of Horace Wagner of Wonder Lake had been outstanding. However, he was reluctant to make his reappointment without in­ terviewing other applicants. The Rev. Jones noted at this point that some members of the Zoning and Planning com­ mittee, which recommended the reappointment, believe continuity of board members is an advantage. Member Phyllis Walters moved to refer the matter back to committee on appointments until notice is given in the media concerning openings for the position. Charles "Chuck" Weingart of McHenry, chairman of the Health and Agriculture com­ mittee, explained that the county offer of $75,000 to pur­ chase kennels near Woodstock for an animal control center had been refused. A considerable amount has been received by municipalities throughout the county for this purpose, and it is now believed a new building will need to be constructed. The County board is awaiting directions from Springfield concerning the need to change the Civil Defense ordinance. This becomes necessary with the Sept. 22 signing of a new bill by Goverhor Walker, abolishing the Illinois Civil Defense agency and creating the State Emergency Services and Disaster agency. With this 33- page law, the Illinois Civil Defense agency act of 1951 was repealed. The new act broadens the definition of Emergency Preparedness and includes Natural Disaster respon­ sibilities. It also allows the chairman of the County board to declare emergencies within POSTPONE DEPUTIES' HEARING (Continued From Page 1) persons involved in a distur­ bance at the Johnsburg Saufen und Spiel Sept. 14. SOLUTIONS TO BUS PROBLEM (Continued From Page 1) Mueller, Sieracki, Kaun & Company were present to explain the 1974-75 annual audit and improvements that could be made. Members questioned the wisdom of continuing to operate on a cash basis or adopt an accrual basis. David Cain stressed that the final annual audit should be undertaken by 'the latter method. The requests of Judith Smith, first grade at Hilltop, and Cheryl Toalson, Art at Junior high for leaves of absence were accepted. Katherine Baseley was em­ ployed as a playground aide at Edgebrook. The resignation of Lou Weingart from this position was accepted. Gary Schaefer was named full time driver in the Transportation depart­ ment. « Approval was given to participation by the district in several special reimbursable programs for the fiscal year 1975-76. These include Title I and Title II, ESEA, Vocational, Gifted and Bilingual Bicultural. All of these programs are planned for in the current 1975- 76 budget. Also winning an okay from members was the recom­ mendation to file an application for funding in several NDEA program. They are Title III, equipment and material for Metric Education; equipment and material for Bilingual Education; and equipment and material for Career Education. A reminder was given of the meeting of the Illinois Association of School Boards to be held Nov. 22. Delegate from the local board is Lester Smith, and Dorothy Vick is alternate. The low bid of Buss Ford SaleSi McHenry, was approved to furnish a 1976 Ford Torino at a net cost of $2,700 and trade-in. Action was taken to schedule the Nov. 18 meeting at Parkland school, Ringwood road, rather than the central administration office. his own jurisdiction for a period of seven days, charging him with the responsibility for the health, safety and welfare of all county residents. A resolution was passed that the sum of $99,423.66 be tran­ sferred to the General fund from the Revenue Sharing account for the purpose of Public Safety Maintenance and Operational fund. The low bid of Crystal Lake Dodge in the amount of $14,400 to furnish four police special cars for the Sheriff's depart­ ment was accepted. The board took action to set the time of the election of County board members to the Tuesday after the first Monday in November of each year in which these members are elected. In the past, the election date was the first Tuesday in April. Sheriff Arthur Tyrrell in­ structed Capt. Robert Crabtree and Lt. Det. George Hendle of his department to conduct an investigation into the matter. After reviewing their report, Tyrrell contacted MacArthur and asked that the Merit commission conduct its own investigation. Approximately twenty-three witnesses including police officers and civilian witnesses were scheduled to testify before the commission. Originally MacArthur stated that the public had a right to know the facts. "We are talk­ ing about the integrity of the department and honor of the shield," he said. However, he gave no official reason for the postponement and no indication as to when the shearings might be held. Nine charges were placed against Peter Hellios of Won­ der Lake as a result of the disturbance. Five other per­ sons were also arrested on charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Hellios complained to Assistant State's Attorney Richard Kelly that he had been mistreated in the incident and was going to file civil law suits against the Sheriff's depart­ ment and individual officers. Kelly said he conferred with Chief Deputy Henry Nulle of the Sheriff's department after conducting a short in­ vestigation and suggested dropping the charges against Hellios in return for Hellios withdrawing civil suits against the department and offers.

After it was announced all the charges had been dropped against Hellios. Tyrrell said at a press conference, that Assistant State's Attorney Kelly was considering running for McHenry County state's attorney on the Democratic ticket next year. Tyrrell stated Kelly had asked for his support in this venture. Tyrrell is a Democrat, as is Peter Hellios, who was ap­ pointed supervisor of the Secretary of State's driver license examining station in Woodstock. Tyrrell objected to this line of action when it appeared politics were beginning to enter the picture. "I am a Democrat also," Tyrrell said. "I do not want to stir things up but if they think they are going to put my men in the trick bo*, they are badly mistaken," he stated. He felt it was improper to drop the charges against Hellios and not the other five persons arrested in the riot. At this point. Kelly called the Grand jury into a special session and asked that Tyrrell have all witnesses to the in­ cident ready to appear before the Grand jury and testify as to what happened while Hellios was being arrested. However, Kelly noted that on the day of that session, only seven McHenry county deputies appeared at the DEBATERS IN COMPETITION (Continued From Page 1) Besides these events, the -.forensic and debate teams at hearing and all took the Fitth amendment.

Price: Is it worth the difference. The P.O.E. price for a Saab 99 LE two-door, manual, with steel-belted radial tires and all other standard equipment is $4,698. The price of a Mercedes-Benz 280 sedan is $8,420. 6. The test drive is the test. To find out what you really like, test drive both a Mercedes and a Saab.
