Mortel is an insurance agent with the Stoffel and Reihan- sperger. Inc. agency, which formerly handled much of the city's insurance. Gault, in opening his letter, said he couldn't have responded to Mortell's statement's unless he was asked to do so "As we discussed," the mayor read, "the local in­ surance agents and newspaper feel fit to keep this controversy alive and all it is doing is hurting the city of McHenry "I feel that any response on my part is 'playing their game' and in effect keeping a wound open that should be allowed to heal." Gault charged that Mortell "twisted 'and misrepresented the facts in order for the local agents to save face at the ex pense of yourself (Stanek) and the City Council." Gault took exception to statements made by Mortell concerning premiums "I find Mr Mortell's reasoning absurd." Gault added, stating that Mortell failed to mention twenty-one improvements of the McHenry insurance policy that Gallagher had added Gault discussed Mortell's statement that the Gallagher firm was professional and that the local agents could have exhibited the same professionalism "If this is the case." he asked, "why then was the city being sued for discrimination and there was no public liability insurance" ' ' "Personally." he continued, "if I were you or the Council members. I would be furious It is obvious to me that Mr Mortell attempted to save face for the local agents by degrading the effectiveness and the ability Of the City Council to take action on a program that was 'chaotic ' Gault asked that the mayor, "for the good of the city," not allow the local agents to in­ timidate the Council members "The agents obviously have only their own interest in mind and they are seriously hurting the city of McHenry," he charged "This situation has gained far too much publicity and will encourage more claims from the public." Gault predicted "This will cause the city's insurance premiums to rise in the future through expertise rating " Alderman Bill Bolger ended discussion on the matter by asking if Gault and Mortell should meet and discuss the ^ S T O R E I MIS HUSINf SS IS C O N S U M E R P R E F E R R E D STOCK NO CAK TORKELSON mercury SALE PRICE 7*6 NEW BOBCAT WAGON, .4 cyt. eng auto tram., AM-FM. tact, air *5125 •4045 78-115 DEMO BOBCAT 3 IR, auto trans radio, rustprooted *3710 H num.n •4135 •5500 •4875 ' IXfcfJNWI!, 78-212 NEW BOBCAT 3 DOOR, wto.tram.radio,Mux trim *4065 78 325 NEW BOBCAT 3 DOOR,... std. tram., radio, p.i. 3905 7.303 NEW ZEPHYR 4 DOOR, 6 cyl eng auto p.s. whitewall tires ut%. torn., rwtprwted.

In other action, the Council voted to increase the capacity of the Lakeland Park pumping station at a cost of $40,000 to service the new McHenry Lakes estates. This course of action was chosen over a $180,000 construction of a new force main to carry the sub­ division's waste to the city's sewer system. City engineer Hal Sundin of Baxter & Woodman said the increase would raise the capacity to 10.800 from its present 5,000 It currently serves 4.000 The proposed force main would connect McHenry Lakes Estates to the cross-town trunk sewer from the Estates pumping station However, it was felt that cost was prohibitive at this time until other land in the area develops and requests city sewer The Council then voted to approve the final plat of McHenry Lakes Estates on the condition that an agreement could be reached with the developers concerning the cost of modifying the pumping station The specific cost of the project cannot be determined until bids are put out and the project begins because of in­ flation The Council agreed not to ask for payment until at least one year after the final plat was approved The cost of the project will be added to the performance bond required of the developer In eight weeks, the Council will notify the developer con­ cerning the depth of the sewer line at the east end of the development The sewer depth depends on whether or not the Falcon development across Route 31 from McHenry Lakes Estates is required to have or wishes to have city sewer McHenry Lakes Estates is located southwest of the corner of McCullom Lake road and Route 31 and contains 125 acres of residential, commercial and industrial land At the ^beginning of the meeting.

At 1 a.m., Richmond police reported to Sheriff's police that they had stopped an auto for a speeding violation and had taken the offender to the Rich­ mond police department to post bond One of the passengers in the auto reportedly became boisterous and was asked to leave the building. Moments later, Officer Baker received a call that the subject had entered a Richmond squad car and stolen a section of the radar unit from the rear window The same person was seen fleeing down Broadway.

"The governement must cut out programs that aren't cost effective." he said, "just like any business cuts out something that is losing money." He asked that labor and management work together to increase the nations produc­ tivity, which has been in­ creasing at a rate far less than that of Japan or West Ger­ many. "We must retain more of our earnings," he said Percy said that deregulation was necessary to allow the free market to lower inflation. "There are presently 43 regulatory agencies," he said and indicated that the number needs to be reduced. Percy cited the case of the airlines and how deregulation brought about lower fares and higher profits for the airlines. And to keep more earnings in the country, ways must be found Percy said, to replace the money currently being spent for foreign energy. The first question entertained by Percy dealt with the Mike Royko's reporting of the Paul Marcy scandal on the Cook County Zoning board of Ap­ peals, of which Percy's op­ ponent Seith is chairman.
