Township Officials Clarence Regner Named To Third Year At State Officer DID YOU KNOW? By -- Clarence Regner, highway C o m m i s s i o n e r , w a s unanimously elected to a third term as first vice-president in, the road commissioner's division at the sixty-seventh annual convention for township officials held in Springfield. There are 1,420 road com­ missioners, one for each township. Also attending from McHenry township were Albert Adams, town clerk, and Sibre Whiting, assessor. Adams, attended the Town Clerks divisional meetings, which lasted two days and were instructional and informative in regard to election procedures, new laws, town­ ship budgets, etc. Adams, with his eight years' experience as town clerk, was involved in discussions and answered many questions that were brought up by new town clerks regarding the duties of the office. One important issue to all township officials, especially road commissioners, is to override the governor's veto on Senate Bill 1750. Bill 1750 provides for a long range reasonable program for con­ struction of township and road district bridges throughout Illinois. There are 12,000 township bridges in Illinois, only 4,382 are rated for legal load, other bridges are not useable or in poor condition. In assessor's division, the two township bills, H.B. 3485 and H.B. 3486 were introduced and passed by the legislature, with strong backing from the Illinois Township Officials. Local of­ ficials feel the governor changed these bills with an amendatory veto that now gives dictatorial power over the assessors to the Department of Local Government affairs. This department of state-appointed employees decided what qualifications elected assessors must have or directs the way the department feels it should be run or vacate that office. Officials attending contend the present schooling for assessors is up to state standards, and- more advanced than the department of local govern­ ment affairs can offer. These two House bills authorize the town board to set higher salaries for assessors, if trained, schooled, certified for assessing. Several hundred township officials left the Forum Thirty and arrived at the capitol to get support to override the governor's amendatory veto on Assessor's 3485 and 3486 and lobby for support of Bill 1750.

Anderson Saving A River Energy vs. environment; growth vs. quality of life. These are issues which the country and the Congress must continually face. Rarely are the choices so starkly pre­ sented as in the recent de­ bate in the House Rules Com­ mittee over the New River Bill. We were considering legislation to make the New River in North Carolina part of the Wild and Scenic Rivers System, thus preventing the construction of a dam and hy­ droelectric project. My col­ leagues on the committee and I had to decide whether the need for electric power out­ weighed the adverse effects on the environment and the river. The New River is, paradox­ ically, one of the oldest rivers in the world, ranking near the ancient Nile. For eons it has served as an east-west pathway across the ^.^ppslaohlana,. and the New River area is rich with arch- eological sites, relics of the generations of native Americans who lived and trav­ eled along its banks. It also contains a valuable var­ iety of fish - out of the 68 species in the river, 11 are thought to be rare and endan­ gered. Because the river ex­ isted before the glaciers, and because of its geographi­ cal position, it has a unique mixture of northern and southern vegetation growing on its banks. A free-flowing and beautiful stream, the New River meanders from North Carolina into West Virginia, falling into deep gorges and cutting back on Itself. The project that would threaten this river has been proposed by the Appalachian Power Company, part of Amer­ ican Electric Power, the largest private utility in the United States. On June 14, 1974, the Federal Power Commission granted Appalach­ ian Power a 50 year license for their proposed New River project. There would be two dams, forming lakes totalling 38,000 acres. The water stored in the upper reservoir would be released to generate up to 1,600 mega watts during periods of peak demand. This method of generating elec­ tricity specifically for use in peak periods would use up four killowatts of power to produce threee, so that more energy is available when de­ mand is high. Needed Power? The heart of the question was the actual need for the dam system is designed to produce. Historically, the demand for electricity has grown at a rate near 7 per cent a year. With the Arab oil embargo, however, and higher energy costs, consum­ ers have become more careful and electrical usage has been growing at a slower rate. The American Electric Power system, the sponsor of the New River project, has act­ ually been able to sell surplus electricity to otKtf systems. While a sufficient supply of power is unquestionably necessary for economic growth, many wondered whether this specific project was truly needed to provide that energy. Political opposition to the dam was intensified by the fact that it would affect the New River in North Caro­ lina, while the power provid­ ed would be used not there, but in other states. In ad­ dition, conservationists have pointed out that by making electricity nore expensive during peak demand periods, electric utilities would be able to spread out demand throughout the day, rather than building new plants to take care of the load.

Hundreds would lose their homes, where some families have lived since the 18th century. More than 40,000 acres of fertile lands would be flooded, and many people in these counties would face further financial strain. Because of all these reasons, I Joined the majori­ ty in the Rules Committee, which voted 10-6 in favor of the bill. Certainly America must have power if our econ­ omy is to continue to prosper, but in 1976 Congress realizes, along with many citizens, that some things in our environmental heritage are too valuable to lose. The New River is one of them. PAGE 17 • PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. DECEMBER 3, 1976 Cash in your cans. fo r the comfor t o f SprjHg i n your home, a l l w in te r long . .
