Johnsburg will receive 3 7 percent more in tax assessments than it did just twelve months ago These figures are still just estimates, with final figures to follow But they do illustrate what is happening to McHenry High School District No 156 with the creation of a new high school in Johnsburg McHenrv Elementarv School township, rather than placing just one and imposing it for the entire county For the taxpayer, the higher the multiplier, the higher taxes are going to be Last year, the county was burdened with a negative multir'ier. which, while lowering taxes, badly hurt the schools, which receive a large share of the tax money Hogge finally noted that school districts can no longer be supported by single family dwellings and apartment complexes. "You just can t exist on single family homes," he stated to the business managers. "You need to either encourage new industry into the county to help pick up the tab. or preserve the farmland from being taken over by developers. Hogge then explained how vacant farmland provides an extremely high tax base, and also, "i have yet to see a vacant acre of farmland provide the schools with students to teach and pay for The meeting with the business managers was the first of its kind in the county, and all expressed pleasure w ith the manner in which it was handled lllliniliii"""ll"ir" ̂ INCOME TAX By: PATRICK J.

Close toMome Presenting a Presentable Bathroom If there's one room in the house that could qualify for Federal disaster aid money before breakfast, it's the bath­ room. You can't hide it from your friends; they won't re­ member your new living room furniture after finding hair strands around your bathtub drain. Don't Put It Off--Cleaning this room, as with all others, is a matter of initiative. The best time is righ$> after every- ?h showering. You one is through can clean the steaming glass, and mirror with sweep of a cloth. tile, the Special clean-up problems require innovative responses. Grout, which forms around faucets and tubs, can be rooted out by using a toothbrush dipped in bleach. Pencil eras­ ers are good for more than paper; you can use them to remove rust spots from for­ mica and ceramic tile. Rubber bath mats should be scrubbed with a damp steel wool pad and washed in a washing ma­ chine on a delicate cycie. oid you ever try boiling a shower head clean in a pan of vine­ gar? Chalk it up as a new way of handling a gritty problem.

Use a liquid or granular boWl cleaner and wipe clean with a nylon bowl brush. ~ Small Touches--If you wash your hair in the shower, place a piece of steel wool over the drain. Afterwards, it's just a simple matter of collecting the strands and disposing of them. Keep a wash towel close at hand to clean the soap dish before the guests arrive. And you might think about re­ placing the smudged drink­ ing cup with disposable paper cups. Decor -- Transfer some plants into the bathroom; they'll add a lift, and thrive in the moister atmosphere. Buy towels that match the color of your wallpaper or paint. Your guests will be so impressed that they won't want to use the towels for fear of getting them dirty. Water Quality Helps--Hard water can form streaks or spotting on glass shower doors. It can also cause a white ceramic bathtub to turn gray. The Lindsay Division of Eco- dyne Corporation reminds you that you don't have to use harsh, abrasive cleaners to get sinks, showers, and tubs clean when you wash with soft wa­ ter. All you do Is rinse and wipe clean with a sponge. Musket History The musket of the Revolution barely covered 100 yards.
