PAGE IK - PLAIN DEALER - FRIDAY. OCTOBER 26. 1979 COUNCIL J.OOKS AT TAX DEBT (Continued from page 1) the Shamrock Beef and Cattle farm was owned by a trust. If the decision is in favor of ihe City, the responsibility for continuing the litigation will ! ill on the other objectors. The Council also approved a "stock ordinance" -- one that can be used more than once - which would require a property owner's 50 percent par­ ticipation in sidewalk recon­ struction projects. In the event that a property owner does not "volunteer" to participate and pay 50 percent of the cost, the City could complete the project anyway and then bill the property owner for 100 percent of the cost. The Council must pass an ordinance which includes the location, specifications and cost of the work to be done and notice must be mailed to the property owner. The properly owner then has 30 days from the mailing date of the notice to either send in the money for half of the project, or, suffer the- con­ sequences. The consequence is paying 100 percent of the cost of the project. The City tax collector wotfd be authorized to report the non-payer to the county enforcement agency and the cost of the project would be added to the property owner's tax bill. Narusis said the ordinance is an "incentive" to participate in the sidewalk rebuilding program and would also "short circuit the cumbersome procedure of a special assessment."

Henry, and stole an out­ board motor. Robert Froehlig, 1205 W. Rolling Lane road, McHenry, called the Sheriff's police when he found that someone had pried open the door to the lower compartment of his boat and had stolen a combination AM- FM radio and tape player. In a similar incident, Nick Norleck of La Grange reported that someone had broken into his boat at 614 Bald Knob road, McHenry, and had stolen an AM-FM stereo unit and a power hailer from the boat's lower compartment. . Leonard Wronski, of 714 Emerald court, McHenry, found that 15 to 20 stereo tapes had been stolen from his car. Someone forced open the rear door of J&R Food Mart in Wonder Lake and got away with $115, six cartons of cigarettes and three cases of beer. TREE BANK PAVING DEBATE CONTINUES (Continued from page 1) Harker said. "I've always bent over backwards to show some leniency where any church projects are concerned and I would hope that some leniency would be shown here." Harker also said he could probably be accused of being biased as he is also a member of the church. Harker added that he thought the church would be willing to compromise and pave half of the tree bank and, with a turn of the chair to face the five ob­ jectors in the audience, said he hoped they would be willing to compromise too. One of the objectors, Thomas Pender, said the issue was that the residents had been told one thing and then the church turned around and did another. "The whole thing was twisted around." Mayor Stanek disagreed and said that the real issue was what to do about the problem. Stanek said that the com­ promise proposal would look better than just gravel -- which would soon be rutted. Another objector, Ken Bruce, said he was "just against the paving." Bruce said he would not mind if the tree bank remained gravel or if parking were permitted there on Sundays. "I just don't want to see any paving," Bruce said. Alderman Harker made thev motion to pave half of the tree bank and seed the rest up to the sidewalk on John street. At the outset of the meeting, Alderman Schooley objected to raising the issue because neither Aldermen Wieser nor Adams was present and further objected to the vote because he was not sure the meeting was legal. By law, according to City Attorney Bernard Narusis, notice must be 'given' at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting. The problem that arose lies in the interpretation of the word 'given'. City Clerk Barb Gilpin said the notices were mailed last Friday. Alderman Schooley said he did not see his notice until 5 p.m. Tuesday night while other aldermen said their notices arrived on Monday. C Narusis also referred to "Roberts' Rules of Order", which governs the Council meetings, and it said the notices must be mailed. The problem here is that the Rules of Order do not apply where there is a conflict between the Rules and the City ordinances. "It's a strict matter of in­ terpretation." Narusis said. "I can't tell you whether this meeting is legal or not." Mayor Stanek said that he called the meeting last week and the notices were mailed last Friday and as far as he was concerned the meeting was legal. Stanek then called for the vote. The vote was 5 to 1 and the motion to pave half and seed half of the tree bank carried. Aldermen Nolan, Harker, Datz, Meurer and Mayor Stanek voted in favor; Alderman Pepping voted against; and Alderman Schooley passed saying that he felt the meeting was illegal. Aldermen Adams and Wieser were absent. URGE CAUTION AT HALLOWEEN (Continued from page 1) children, and accompanying parents, to be aware of traffic patterns.

WHAT'S II LIKE TO NAVE A CHIMNEY FINEf_ It's no fun. If it doesn't burn the house down, it will probably wreck your chimney and scare you half to death. Here's how it happens. Begin with one dirty chimney-let's say a fireplace not cleaned for a couple of years. The soot ling the chimney flue is saturated with flammable stuff called creosote: It doesn't take much to ignite creosote-anewspaper fire sen­ ding flarmes up to the damper is enough. Ortce kindled, creosote burns with joyous abandon. In a matter of seconds the fire spreads up through the flue creating a draft that only helps things along. At this point your average chimney ding the occupants of the house running for cover. If you run. you'll be treated to a real fire works show. As the creosote fire builds and inten­ sifies, the heat melts the mortar and it actually drips into the flue, only to be caught up in the tremendous up-draft, and these little fire balls shoot out the chimney and onto the roof. If you're lucky, the chimney will fall apart destroying one end of the building-if you're not, this miniature volcano can bring the whole house down. However, if you stand your ground, a chimney fire can be controlled. Throw rock salt on the floor of the fireplace, cover the fire begins to roar and howl, sen-^ opening with a wet blanket, call the fire department, and hope for the best. But it could be pointed out that having your chimney cleaned is a lot easier on the ner­ ves than the rock salt and wet blanket method. '* Chimney Sw*ep Service •15-943-4927 i
