FREE BOOK LOAN IN TROUBLE (Continued from ;*ge 1) late January along with the , necessary forms and procedures for compiling student textbook requests." 'With their limited funds the I O E intends to permit only one textbook request per student and will begin actual purchases at the kindergarten level and proceed through as many grade levels as the S3.5 million permits "I've heard different authorities predict different grade levels for those funds to run out" Supt. Hall observed 'Some I O E staff people say those funds will run dry in the second grade, others say the third, others say maybe the dollars would spread to the fifth grade Consensus seems to be that even with the limit of only one book per child per grade that if all parents submit requests, the 3 5 million dollars is not likely to reach to the fourth grade level." Hall said "January. February and March aVe bound to be pretty hectic and rushed for the curriculum people in large districts." Supt Hall noted. He went on to explain that the state-approved textbook list probably would not reach local schools until the first of February Then each school would need to send in­ structions. names of recom­ mended texts currently in use in that school, along with a textbook request form, to parents for action Individual student requests are to be comDiled by the school and then sent to Supt Hall by March 15, 1977. deadline Hall must, in turn, review the compiled requests and then have them in the Springfield office of the 1.0 E by March 31. Approved books will then be ordered by 1.0 E. The books will be shipped directly to the local schools "I only hope too many parents aren't disappointed." Hall said.

RTE. 120 McHENRY 385-4100 CITY CLQSES BOOKS ON CLERK FEE HASSLE (Continued from page 1) Alderman Jack Pepping constitution went into effect, that the practice of the clerk keeping fees was legal," Bolger said. "If notification isn't given of any change in law, then how are these people to know about it0" Bolger then moved that the entire matter be dismissed without further discussion. However, before it could be seconded and voted upon, several other aldermen had their say. "Before we drop the issue I have three questions which I want our attorney to answer." Alderman Jack Pepping said. "Bernie. what obligation do we have to the city to recover the fees? City attorney Bernard Narusis explained. "The best way to answer it is to go back to the City of Freeport case. The clerk in that case had taken fees and he was ordered to pay the city back." Pepping also asked Narusis. "If the city doesn't take action to recover the fees, are we vulnerable to a lawsuit?" The attorney expressed his opinion that r the city would indeed be subject to a lawsuit from any citizen of McHenry. "Does the city have the obligation to recover fees?" Pepping asked. Alderman Edward Datz "I think the thrust of Scott's opinion is that the city is compelled to recover the fees," Narusis said. "We have no option then?" Pepping pressed. "That's correct." Narusis explained that an alternative would be to negotiate an out-of-court set­ tlement with the two' former clerkc , "In this case, a settlement is mandatory because there is no record keeping." Narusis explained. "The Council would have to establish what we're talking about in dollars and cents." "The problem is that you have the attorney general's opinion and he is the chief legal officer for the state of Illinois," the attorney concluded. •"How can we correct something when we didn't know about it?" Bolger asked. "Trying to reclaim a dollar could cost more in legal fees and time than it's worth". "I think our entire city government was remiss over the years in not knowing the law." Alderman Edward Datz said. "Ldon't think there was any intent of fraud." Stanek cautioned that the amount of money involved is substantial, and that if ftje Council voted not to recover the money, a citizen could sue. Alderman Walther Schaedel stated, "We know we have a legal responsibility but what is( the amount of money involved? How much are we looking at?" "To the best "of my knowledge, I'm estimating around $17,000, total," Stanek explained. "That includes fishing and hunting licenses, and death certificates." "We have said just about everything we know," Alderman Smith said. "If we want to be the first, and open up a bad can of worms,... Mayor Joseph Stanek "I think if we are going to try to reclaim these fees, then we should go after people who didn't put their dime in the meters every time in the past when they parked without paying," Smith added. "And we should recover money from • dog owners who haven't bought dog tags for ten years." Smith then seconded Bolger's original motion that the Council dismiss the matter per­ manently. Voting yes were Bolger, Datz. Smith, Schaedel, James Wegener, George Harker, and La Verne Hromec. ^ In casting her vote, Ms. Hromec stated that she didn't want to do anything illegal, but was willing to take a chance and felt that what the Council was doing was correct. In casting the sole negative vote. Pepping stated that, "voting to overlook the fees is contrary to the opinion of our attorney." Thus, the question of city fees is over. Present city clerk, Barbara Gilpin, explained that, "the policy now is that everything goes to the city." If there was an overriding sentiment among the Council members, it's that "what's done is done, and let's look ahead, not behind us. A complete account of other actions taken at Monday's City Council meeting will appear in Friday's Plaindealer. • / .'
