CITY ACTS ON PROTECTION FOR CROSSING (Continued from page 1) peppingijpioved that Biggs be promotefljr;'&nd paid the salary for that position of $249 a week. It passed unanimously. Stanek explained that he felt Biggs was a very good man but wondered if the city wasn't ready for a broader job category for that position. By the aldermen's remarks, he said it was apparent the answer was no. Alderman Schaedel com­ mented he felt Meyer should be allowed to pick his employees and asked that the mayor relinquish any rights he had in that situation. Stanek responded quietly but firmly to say he has been questioned and maligned and everything he does is suspect. He said to Schaedel, "You have just said you have more confidence in Fred than you have in me. 1 resent the Council's lack of confidence in me," Instead of hiring a per­ manent employee to replace Biggs in the department, the Council approved Meyer's request to continue with the temporary employment of one summer helper as long as he is needed. The annual tax levy or­ dinance for the fiscal year May 1, 1976 to April 30, 1977 was passed in the amount of $2,672,770. This levy tells the tax collector how much money he should collect from real estate property sources to operate the city of McHenry for the current fiscal year, Pep­ ping explained. He said about 34 percent of the city's operating revenue comes from real estate property taxes. When Mrs. Hromec asked if passing the ordinance would raise taxes for city residents. Pepping pointed out that it could not be determined what the percentage rate would be next year. "However, what the city is seeking to raise here in terms of dollars would be equivalent to the same dollars we would be getting in this year's levy," Pepping ex­ plained. The motion to adopt the or­ dinance passed unanimously. Supt. Meyer reported on state road repair construction taking place on Route 120 from the Plaindealer office east to the Lake-McHenry county line. While the state is repairing its four through-traffic lanes from the Plaindealer office to the west side of the 120 bridge, if the city pays $14,600, the state will also repair the parking lanes, curbs and gutters along Elm street adjacent to its through-traffic lanes. The Council passed a resolution to appropriate $16,000 from the Motor Fuel Tax fund to pay for these im­ provements and others that may be found in that project area On a recommendation by License Committee Chairman James Wegener, the number of taxi cab licenses in the city was changed from three to two The committee also recommended that Chuck Fernstrom, who operates yellow Cabs and Lucky Cabs in the city, have all his cabs operate under one name There is also another license in the city for operation of McHenry Cab company. Fernstrom was at the meeting and agreed to the committee's recommendation to operate under one name. He has until Jan. 1, 1977, to comply with the suggestion. Unanimous approval was given to appropriate $15,000 into the Public Benefit fund. Of that amount, $7,500 will be paid to the Lakeland Park Special Assessment account to satisfy the city's commitment to pay that amount toward the project for ten years as public benefit. The balance will be used for other special assessments and public benefits. Sky!'1 MAT H TOO MTCNK FOR fOUNQ TtCMQW It was noted that six or seven years still remain on the annual $7,500 commitment to the Lakeland Park Special Assessment project. Meyer related he had received a request from James Althoff for a building permit to erect an industrial building on the west side of the railroad tracks on Main street, east of the McHenry Oil company building. A problem arose when the city tried to assess a fee for its newly adopted Capital Im­ provement Fund (CIF). The ordinance sets the fee for single family dwellings but states that other fees must be negotiated between the city and the user- owner based on proposed use. It was noted Althoff said he was erecting the building for rental purposes and did not know what it would be used for. After much discussion, it was decided each alderman should study the matter and come back with their suggestion at a meeting set for Thursday night. Sept 2. A three-year lease was ap­ proved for rental of Dr. William Nye's property for city parking on Court street at $300 per month. The annual lease was approved on a 6 to 2 vote with Aldermen Schaedel and Hromec casting negative votes. Attorney Narusis was in­ structed to check into a general noise ordinance for study by the Council. The next regular meeting will be changed because of Labor day. The Council will meet Tuesday, Sept 7, at 8 p.m. SUBMIT LOW BRIDGE BID (Continued from page 1) contribution toward the project was less than the $70,000 originally estimated because the duct work and other materials needed for carrying cables came in at a lower bid. The company's contribution is now estimated at $48,542 17. Rakow assured everyone, "Illinois Bell is going to pay its fair share of the project." Rakow noted there are some undetermined factors in con­ struction. These include the fact that the length of piles to be driven could vary and there are some variables in the road work. However, he felt sure these factors would have very little effect on the cost of the project if they did occur BREAK TIE VOTE TO EXTEND STREET (Continued from page 1) dinances to handle these situations. After the vote was taken and a decision made to connect the two streets. Pepping moved that three-way stop signs be placed at the intersection of Dale, Anne and Sorensen to protect that corner When Supt. of Public Works Fred Meyer was asked his opinion of putting stop signs at that location, he replied. "If the people think there is going to be a lot of speeding there, it would stop that." The motion to erect the signs passed unanimously. TWO DRIVERS CHARGE RED LIGHT VIOLATIONS (Continued from page 1) , The other car involved was driven by Daniel A. Noster of 1408 Woodland Park, Spring Grove. A ticket for failure to stop at scene of an accident was issued to Steven C. Bockman of 5118 Home avenue, McHenry, after he hit a parked vehicle owned by Krieger Letad of 4102 White street, Richmond.

MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) $5- but the ante rose sharply to $50 per person to attend a reception of the National Republican Heritage Groups council. The Republican Roundup meant digging deeper for another $200. One encouraging thought -at those prices there were probably not many fat Republicans. U n f o r t u n a t e l y , n o Democratic delegates this year were from the immediate McHenry vicinity, but their stories probably paralleled the experience of Mrs. Hutchinson. And dipping even further a delegate and guest could attend a cocktail fund raiser for $1,000 greenbacks. It assured the contributor and friend of glimpsing both President Ford and Ronald Reagan. At that price it should have promised a really closeup look and maybe a handshake. No doubt they had something as clever as the Republicans who carried signs reading "Elephants eat peanuts". A Carter sandwich was ad­ vertised as "a little peanut butter and a lot of baloney". That's political humor, 1976 style, folks. We hope you like it because it promises to keep coming our way until Nov. 2. K.A.F.

They were apprehended by city police with the assistance of traps put on the telephone lines by the phone company.

The petition requested an extension of time to abate the problem of high iron levels in its water supply. The legal notice should have stated that the Lakeland Park Water company filed a petition for the variance and not the city of McHenry The erroneous legal notice was submitted for publication by the attorney for the Lakeland Park Water company. City officials emphasize that no such variance has been, or is being, filed by the city They stress that no problem exists with respect to iron levels in the city's water supply.
