Fred Meyer said the company told him water pressure would be about 36 pounds coming into the park and that's why a one-inch line was going to be installed, he said he would check on the situation and report back to the Council.

Stanek read a letter from the University of Illinois citing the excellent cooperation of West Dundee and McHenry residents with students from the university's Medical center, School of Public Health. The university is conducting a study of 1,000 residents from each community relating to the effects of barium in the water and how it effects the ) blood pressure and gener£Tsh€alth of users. West Dundee has natural barium in its water supply and McHenry has none. Mayor Stanek announced that Gov. Daniel Walker had appointed John Flood, an of­ ficial in the Combined Counties Police association (CCPA), to the Illinois Law Enforcement Commission (ILEC). Flood appeared before the McHenry City Council a couple of years ago urging the Council to allow city policemen to join the CCPA union of which he was an office. His presentation, -remarks and attitude toward aldermen at those meetings were offensive to some city officials. > Therefore, the Council agreed to send a resolution to Gov. Walker and local representatives opposing the appointment of Flood to the ILEC. The motion passed with Mrs. :Hromec casting the only no vote. The Illinois Association of Police Chiefs is sending a similar resolution expressing its disapproval of the ap­ pointment.

The letter was presented as part of the Legislative and Public Affairs committee report with the recom­ mendation of ,that committee, headed by Thore Emricson, to support the action proposed by the Clinton County District board A Clinton county official revealed he had lost two sons at an unguarded crossing last Feb 7, and the ClintOh County board adopted a proposal to seek legislation requiring all railroad crossings to be guarded by warning signals After discussion, McHenry County board members agreed Emricson should bring the matter before the Urban Counties council which he'll attend this week. Asked about the cost for an installation of the type advocated. Jamn Rakow, highway department superintendent, estimated $30,000 to $40,000 per in­ stallation. with the cost shared if the Illinois Commerce commission believes its study shows the need for the protective devices A "rule of thumb" might be $6.000 $8,000 cost for the local government, with the state assuming perhaps 70 percent of the cost, and the railroad paying for 10 percent and agreeing to maintain it Making a guess, Rakow estimated twenty railroad crossings unguarded in McHenry county In the resolution it proposes. Clinton county officials pointed out the large number of daily school bus crossings of railroads Their estimate: 2 million yearly, excluding Cook county "Life itself is our most precious possession upon which no monetary value can be placed," states the resolution, a point which McHenry County board members undoubtedly wrestled with as they discussed Measure Falls Allowing Sale Of County Armory Begin Evaluation Of All Swimming Beaches this proposal which carries a large monetary expenditure to implement it Harold Freese. Crystal 1-ake area board member, asked Rakow if stop signs could be erected at hazardous crossings (such as on Hillside road, he said) Rakow said he doubted if this would be legal The McHenry County board deferred another resolution which the Legislative and Public Affairs committee supported an ordiance authorizing Commonwealth Edison company to construct, operate and maintain ejeetric power transmission systems in the roads and highways in the county. The length of the time proposed in the ordinance (50 years) and the desire to en­ courage (or require) the company to eliminate the clutter of poles and w ires when changes are made or when a subdivision is developed prompted the decision to defer action It mmnji-;0»>- U iO«mt>rini»n It Ii»<;»» -V A measure allowing the sale of the Woodstock National Guard armory was soundly defeated in the Illinois Senate Tuesday, receiving only 17 of the 30 votes necessary for passage, state Sen. Jack Schaffer, R-Cary, reported The measure, sponsored by a southern Illinois senator, transferred control of the ar­ mories in Woodstock and Monmouth to the Department of General Services for the purpose of selling both. "Unfortunately, no one at the Woodstock armory was aware of this measure and the National Guard did not notify either me or my House collegues," Schaffer com­ mented. "Closure of the Woodstock armory would have forced a number of guard members to drive to Waukegan, Rockford or Chicago for guard meetings, when they were promised by recruiters they would have their meetings in McHenry county. "The National Guard com­ mand has an obiligation to discuss its plans relating to the closure of armories with the people affected and with those people's elected represen­ tatives. "I hope Major General Patton heeds his message," General Patton is the head of the Illinois National Guard.

City Clerk Terry Wilde was given approval to replace Darlene Meyer, a clerk in her office. She is leaving city employment this month. A request from the McHenry County Board of Health seeking a donation toward the county animal shelter was not acted upon by the Council. It felt figures given in a letter from Dr. D.V. Johnson, director of the Division of Veterinary Health, did not "jive" and needed further study. Alderman Hromec reported the teen rock concert held at the Pearl street park last Thursday was a huge success. The park was "jammed with kids and it was an orderly, fabulous turnout," she an­ nounced. She asked if it would be possible to hold a similar concert later this summer. Since none of the aldermen expressed objection to her suggestion, Mayor Stanek instructed her to make prangement^ for another concert in August. Two tag days were approved jptember.

Our The McHenry County Department of Health has started its evaluation program of swimming beaches within the county. First samples were collected May 17 and 18. The first June samplings which resulted in two con­ secutive unsatisfactory ratings included McHenry Shores and West Shore Beach, McCullom Lake. The department will be collecting samples Monday and Tuesday of each week throughout the swimming season from nearly every beach in the county. Analysis can be completed by Wed­ nesday afternoon so that citizens of McHenry county can be made aware of the condition of the waters of the beaches prior to the weekend. The criteria used by the McHenry County Department of Health to determine if the waters in a beach are satisfactory or unsatisfactory for swimming are those set up by the Illinois Department of Public Health. Those standards are 1,000 total coliform organisms in 100 milliliters of water. Any time a sample was more than 1,000 coliform or 100 fecal coliform per 100 milliliters of water, that swimming area is considereed unsatisfactory. However, the standards recognize the variability present in natural swimming areas and specify that before a beach is posted these standards must be ex­ ceeded by two consecutive samples. Also, the standards specify that any time two consecutive samples exceed LOOK what wo're doing NOW!
