PAGE21 - PLAINDF»!r r. FKiD/VY. JUNEM, 1978 Coil Springs Officer McHenry Man Promoted Klgiloy company, Elgin, has named Donald J. Musielak to the newly created post of vice- president, Coil Springs division. The move, one of four executive appointments, was announced by Donald W MacLeod, president. A 16-year employee of Elgiloy, Musielak joined the company as a master spring maker and subsequently rose to manufacturing supervisor and product manager before receiving his most recent promotion. As vice-president, Coil Springs division, he has overall responsibility for all DONALD MUSIELAK manufacturing, marketing and purchasing operations. According to MacLeod, the four appointments are a reflection of the company's steady growth. Another, he said, was a $2.5-million plant and equipment expansion program completed last year. Elgiloy now occupies some 72,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space. Musielak is a member of the Spring Manufacturers in­ stitute. He and his family live in McHenry. , Drop Ambulance Service Mr. and Mrs. William H. True of Medical Transportation Systems announced this week that after more than twenty- five years in business, they are discontinuing their ambulance service, effective July 1. The Trues gave the high cost of doing business in today's economy and a shortage of certified trained personnel as reasons for discontinuing the service. Only Oxygen and Medi-car service will be available after July 1. The Trues have served the local public for about thirteen years. No Delayed Pay-Outs In New Retainage Program Contractors working under Illinois Capital Development board contracts are no longer handicapped by delayed pay­ outs or costly withholding of funds after the completion of the project, members of the Plumbing and Heating Con­ tractors association of Lake and McHenry counties and representatives of area banks were told at the recent association meeting at the Holiday Inn, Mundelein. Speaking to the contractors and bankers was Ray O'Brien, of Libertyville, northern regional manager, of the Capital Development board, the state's primary con­ struction agency. O'Brien concentrated on the retainage program adopted by CDB in which the funds withheld by the state to insure satisfactory completion of the contract are placed in escrow or a trust account in the bank of the contractor's choice with accrued interest being earned by the contractor. In the past, the funds would be retained by the contracting agency until the job was completed and accepted with no interest return to the con­ tractor. O'Brien, who stated that the CDB wants mo>e contractors bidding on state projects to provide competition, pointed out that draws during 4he construction period are made as expeditiously as possible with the checks reaching the contractor in two to three weeks after submission of the invoice for the completed work. Normally the retainage is 10 percent of the periodic payout up to completion of 50 percent of the work covered by the individual contract.

" W e ' r e c e n t r a l i z i n g customer accounts in Crystal Lake, Marengo, McHenry, Woodstock and Union into one office," Jozwiak said. "The added flexibility of a cen­ tralized operation will benefit all our customers. It's also a more efficient operation for us, which helps keep down the cost of providing telephone ser­ vice." The Woodstock office, 227 W. Judd. will be centrally located for all area customers.

Post Office Opens Job Register Postmaster Leroy Smith has announced that clerk-carrier exams will be given in the very near future and urged that all those interested apply to take the job-related tests that can lead to postal service em­ ployment. "We have not opened our register since May, 1975, and an examination of it has led us to believe that it is out of date, and that many of the names on the register are people who have moved or for some reason are no longer available to take ftostal jobs." Postmaster Smith said. "I do not want to give the impression we will be hiring great numbers of people in the coming months," the post­ master said. "I anticipate approximately five vacancies will occur in the next two years that will be filled by hiring people from our up-dated job register We need qualified people who will be willing to accept employment, and we want to offer people in the local community the chance to compete for these openings by signing up for and taking the exams." The postmaster said the postal service established the policy two years ago of ex­ tending eligibility indefiniiely for those on the job register because little hiring was being done. "On Oct. 8,1978 those who have been on the job register for more than two years will lose their eligibility. They will have to reapply to compete for a standing on the new register," he said. Postmaster Smith explained that those wishing to take the exam could apply by asking for an application at any post of­ fice, or submitting the form delivered to each home. Ap­ plications must be submitted to the McHenry post office bet­ ween July 5, and July 11. Home Resale Market Remains High Byrnes Brothers Charter Member Of New Service Neither the current shrinkage of mortgage credit nor the corresponding boost in interest rates has shown any sign of dampening the existing (resale) home market, ac­ cording to the National Association of Realtors. In its monthly existing home sales report, the association's Department of Economics and Research reports April sales of 3,880,000 single-family homes on a seasonally adjusted an­ nualized basis. This was a 3 percent gain over the March pace and 16 percent over April 1977. The annualized figure also is slightly higher than the 3.8 million record sales expected for 1978 by the National association. Although sales in the South fell just short of the record March volume, the reports say, each of the other three regions showed an increase over the strong perfprmance registered the previous month. Sales in the South declined 2 percent to 1,600,000 units on an annualized basis, but in the Northeast, sales rose 4 percent to 520,000; in the North Central, up 12 percent to 1,000,000; and in the West, up 2 percent to 660,000. Sales prices in all regions of the nation moved upward, the report says, particularly sharply*in the South and West. "Single-family home prices made their biggest surge of the year in April", said Kenneth J. Kerin, realtor research director, "as the median (Mice of an existing home in April rose $1,700 from the previous month to $48,200. "Nationally, the median sales price is 14.8 percent ahead of the same month a year ago. This is one of the sharpest 12-month jumps in the history of this statistical series," Kerin added. Both the South and West posted increases of $2,100, Kerin said, while the increase in the Northeast was $800 and in the North Central region, $400. One result of the escalation in home prices, the report says, has been the need to revise price classes used in the sample data collection. Principally, this involves lumping together percentages in all sales categories less than $20,000 into one and adding classes for price ranges in excess of $90,000. The category of $20,000 or less accounts for 5.6 percent of all transactions. In April, 1975, only 2.8 percent of resales were at $90,000 or above, the report reveals. Just three years later, 10 percent of sales were priced at $90,000 or more. In the West 20 percent of homes sold in April were at prices of $90,000 or higher.
