Spring Grove Horee Shows June 19-20 Late Model sportsman stock car defending champion Duke Norton, Wonder Lake, feels like he has hit a real slump. He hasn't cracked the winners circle this season yet in weekly racing at the Kenosha County Speedway in Wilmot. His very first night out he lost an engine that was being counted on to carry him through most of the season. He bounced right back with some good time trial runs and some close finishes and now ranks fifth in point standings. Duke has his car set for a smoother track and high speed runing but the early season rains have sometimes left deep ruts in the Wilmot clayit track that have not made Duke's performance the best. Recent dry and hot weather should make things just right for Duke to get back into the win column soon. Super modifieds, led by Champion Dick Colburn are also in action there each Saturday night. The Spring Grove Horse Fair's annual June horse shows will be held Saturday and Sunday, June 19 and 20, beginning at 8:30 a.rfi. Hor­ semen and non-horsemen alike will enjoy two days of acitivities which include not only the horse show, but food, refreshments, grandma's favorite game, games and other fun filled events. The Horse Fair grounds are located immediately behind the g^rade school in Spring Grove. For the horseman, four high point trophies and a trophy and five ribbons will be awarded for classes ranging from hor­ semanship to speed events. For all is the excitement of a truly fine horse show and a wide vareity of entertaining events. Proceeds from this, and the August 21 and 22 shows, will be used to complete the purchase of land for a community park and recreational area' Further information is available by calling either Mrs. Paul Quillman or 815 675-2431.

He and other legislators are sponsoring new tax proposals that they feel will provide fairer property taxes in Illinois. "All the information and testimony given our committee points to a serious breakdown of the Illinois property tax system It is intolerable to have people living in substantially the same type of home in a neighboring township, or even within the same township, receiving the same govern­ mental and school services, but paying such widely differing taxes," Skinner said. "In dollar terms, the dif­ ference in total tax bills, in­ cluding taxes for all local government services and schools, between two taxpayers receiving the same services is even more dramatic. Several hundred dollars can separate the low assessed home from the high assessed property," Skinner said. "We're not pointing the finger at any particular in­ dividual or agency What we are facing is a general collapse of all assessment practices on the township, county and state levels. Our proposals are designed to improve assessing practices at all levels." Skinner said "It is important that these changes in the law are made now, so that we can insure fair administration of the property tax." Skinner said On the state level, one proposal removes all property tax functions from the Department of Local Govern­ ment Affairs and places them in a newly created State Property Tax commission The commission would be com­ posed of thiye members, ap­ pointed by the Governor and approved by the Senate to fill six-year, overlapping terms The substantial degree of independence provided the Tax commission hopefully would lead to fairer equalization of property values than has been the case for the past thirty years In most Illinois counties an appointed supervisor of assessments is responsible for achieving equal assessment of property on the county level Many supervisors of assessments, the committee learned, are influenced in their duties by various pressures, political and otherwise The committee's legislation directly ties performance of the supervisor of assessments to his retention of office A supervisor who does his job as the law requires will receive job security The supervisor who does not assess fairly will PACE 7 • PIAINOKAIJ-R WEDNESDAY. JUNE W, Ifft townships they do no assessing: the supervisor of assessments performs that job The committee bill will provide for minimum assesstag districts and require township assessors to actually assess property in s fsir manner or be removed from of­ fice Since township assessors will be elected next April. Skinner believes the bill must pass this month Tm sure taxpayers in McHenry county wsnt fair property taxes If to, they should contact their own state Senator and three state Representatives and ask them to support House Bills 30tl, :W30. and 3S31." Skinner ssid. find it more difficult to retain his office Reform of the township assessor office is the third key plank in the committee s program Initial assessment of property in Illinois is made by the township assessor in township counties Although, 1,407 townships can elect assessors, not all do so In other cases they elect an individual to office, but in well over 200 r« I HOME COOKED FOOD IN AN UNUSUAL NEW RESTAURANT t LOADS Of ANTIQUES 1001 Lunch & Supper Daily 11 to 8 Closed Monday THE BACK ROOM IN THE liilllsssi IAaAAI ncnwiy VopvT nvTvt 3939 W.
