Both Dale E. Pytko of 412 W. Broadway in McHenry, and Judith K. Wolter of 4808 Gregory in McHenry, were injured Saturday morning when the cars they were driving collided at the corner of Green and Broad. Pytko was ticketed in the crash, which injured three passengers, David Pytko, 2, and Rachel E. and Rebecca A. Wolter, ages 3 and 6. Pytko told police he was talking to his son while driving west on Broad street and did not see the stop sign, running into the side of the Wolter auto, which was northbound on Green street. • Bernard F. Maerz of 1509 N. River road in McHenry was ticketed for leaving the scene of a vehicle-damage accident, after allegedly colliding with a car driven by Judy Goodson, 2309 Lincoln road, McHenry, Friday afternoon on Riverside drive. Maerz told police he started backing out of a parking space, observed Ms. Goodson's car in his way, and stopped im­ mediately until the other driver moved the vehicle. Finally, Robert Zujewski of McHenry was slightly injured Saturday when a car he was riding in collided with another vehicle at the corner of Elm and Church streets. Neither of the two drivers, Daniel J. Schneider, 1513 Sunnyside Beach, McHenry and Christopher J. Bennett, 415 Stratford Court, McHenry, were injured, and no tickets were issued. Zujewski was a passenger in the Bennett auto. Bennett told police he was eastbound on Rt. 120 with a blue flashing light operating, his headlights on, and his horn blowing, enroute to the fire station to answer a fire call. He added that traffic in both lanes was blocked, so he went into the westbound lane, proceeding east, when the Schneider auto turned left and contact was made.

The County board adopted a resolution in 1960 approving the present numbering system. Many areas of the county have used the system devised by Tammeus with the post office, utility firms and some fire districts adopting it. Tammeus said county fire departments are preparing a proposal requiring use of the uniform numbering system through the adoption of an ordinance. An ordinance would require post offices to use the uniform numbering system outside municipalities. Maps with the numbering system have been available and frequently used since many parts of rural areas build and number with the County Map company system.
