The incident was reported at about 9:05 p.m. Monday, and the McHenry Fire department was summoned to the scehe. !• The police report indicated that the owner,.Jerry Brizzi, 319 Glenwood, McHenry, was driving home when a fire developed in the engine com­ partment of his car. The cause of the fire has not been determined, and no estimate of damage was made. INTERSECTION CRASH INJURES THREE PERSONS (Continued from page 1) the other vehicle involved in the crash, driven by Duane G. Sch- jnitt of 5917 Spring Grove road, McHenry, sustained more than |100 damage. Neither driver was hurt. Cedergren told police he was westbound on Elm street in the right lane.

For the average of the county's 135,000 people, this is over $34 for each man, woman and child. "That is a lot of money to be coming !from every individual. It is ; especially a lot of money when nothing worthwhile in addition is being provided," Skinner commented. When asked if this projection is reliable, he responded that, "RTA has had three years to provide its own figures. It has railed to do so even though asked. The basic data is from the secretary of state, the director of Revenue and from {state statutes. If anyone can come up with more reliable ^data." Skinner said, "I will be among the first to want to see t^em." '•Skinner continued by com­ menting that the petition asked for < 1) the complete removal of McHenry county from the FJTA; (2) The elimination of aay and all gasoline taxes for itTA within the county; (3) The removal of the equivalent tax for every licensed motor vehicle in the county; (4) The removal of the equivalent portion of the state sales tax fgom McHenry county residents; and (5) in the alternative, that 95 percent of tfce revenues so generated be Even some state legislators, he said, seem not to realize what it is costing their districts. On the average, this amounts to more than $2 million from each legislative district of the entire state. "And that," he stressed, "does not include the 5 percent gasoline tax which will be applied only in the six-county RTA area." Skinner, Sr., said that some petitions are still out and should be sent in as soon as con­ venient. Anyone wishing petitions should send a self- addressed stamped envelope. Cal Skinner, Sr., 67 E.

To animal lovers this is a sad commentary on the state of humane treatment, for he admits that the case in question concerns a breeder who has conditions that are "not the best by far, but not the worst". We have admiration for the Crystal Lake lady who is persisting in her efforts to strive for change. These are the kind of people who are ac­ complishing much in all areas of progress. Grandpop could tell stories of horse owners being arrested for leaving their animals tied at the curb for hours at a time while they imbibed inside the saloon. It happened right here in McHenry, with testimony to that fact appearing in old issues of the Plaindealer. Maybe we have made some progress after all! KAF County Agencies To Benefit From League Funding The Mental Health Resource League for McHenry County recently completed its first funding period for the year and granted funds to two McHenry county agencies. The league donated funds to the Special Education District of McHenry County (SEDOM) to purchase a van for its Alternate Education program for high school students. Also granted to SEDOM were funds which enabled their students to participate in the state Special Olympics which'were held July 14 and 15. The Northern Illinois Special Recreation association (NISRA) received funds from the Resource league to help provide transportation for handicapped children who are attending Everylife Day camp this summer at Veterans' Acres park in Crystal Lake. The Mental Health Resource League for McHenry County is a non-profit organization which supports and financially aids mental health related agencies in McHenry county. Ap­ plications are now being ac­ cepted for the league's fall funding period which ends Oct. 1. Agencies interested in LET S GET TOGETHER AND TALK ABOUT LOW-COST AUTO INSURANCE.

A new "Problem Resolution Office" is now available for Chicago area residents with Federal tax problems which have not been resolved through normal channels. IRS director for Northern Illinois, Charles F. Miriani, noted that the service is in­ tended for taxpayers whose tax difficulties fit into certain categories. "We have set up this service for taxpayers who have made a number of contacts with the Service in an attempt to resolve their particular problem but have been unsuccessful in doing so. Of interest to us is the situation whereby repeated contacts have been made with the Service and the taxpayer still has a problem," he noted. Miriani indicated that the taxpayer should continue to conduct business with IRS and resolve their problems through normal channels. However, in those instances where their problems are not resolved after following normal procedures they should contact the Problem Resolution Office. The Problem Resolution office is located on the 18th floor, 230 South Dearborn street, Chicago. Taxpayers may write the office in care of P.O. Box 1132, Chicago, 60690.
