ASK REVENUE SHARING FUNDS TO CLEAN CREEK (Continued from page 1) channel with fast flowing water. Miller said that a settling area for future sediment discharges should be cut in. He added that his firm would also loan the city a "cat" which the city em­ ployees would have to operate. Mayor Standi announced that he was establishing a fund for the maintenance of Boone creek with his initial donation of $500. He said this could be a taxfree donation for all interested, and the fun would be used to clean up and keep free the creek bed. Stanek said he planned to advance the dredging proposal as a possible use of revenue sharing funds at the Wed­ nesday (Feb. 18) hearing covering the proposed uses of the federal money. Ronald Meuer, alderman from Ward IV (Lakeland Park), expressed con­ cern with the leg of the creek running through that subdivision. He said that on two occasions following 2Vinch rains last August, the creek or ditch came within a foot of overflowing. Alderman Mike Weiser suggested that a general cleaning up in the creek area would help, and Meuer conceded that it was needed. Proceeding the Council meeting on dredging was a meeting by a Council committee to open and review bids for the purchase of a new street sweeper. After considering all bids the com­ mittee, headed by Meuer, recom­ mended that the city buy a unit from the Elgin Sweeper Co. which was described as a demonstrator, but would have new brushes and carry Mull one year warranty such as given with a new vehicle. The price would be ap­ proximately $58,000 including an air conditioned cab and the allowance for the used sweeper. The Council will probably act on the recommendation at the next regular meeting.

The verdict at first was that what remained, might be able to be saved. But the weeks and months passed, and one day workmen arrived to complete the dismantling process. It almost seemed as though the delay in the total destruction was aimed at giving those of us who really care, a chance to get used to the idea. The gentleman who visited us is now taking bets that one or two of the other old buildings of historic significance may await the same fate because of their state of disrepair. If left long enough, the attraction will become too great for young meddlers with no knowledge of the history they are destroying. He asked if there is not some city regulation concerning eyesores. We didn't know, but presume something is on the books. However, this is only important if it can provide a means of saving something that is important to the community. Everything old isn't good and shouldn't be saved. But McHenry has little reason to worry that too much will be retained - we have few enough historic buildings as it is. Ride through the residential streets of almost any city in the county and you will find ample treasures of another time. Ride through McHenry and you realize how important it is to save what little we have that is a connecting link with our pioneer days. That's what history is all about!
