A commuter, Klemm pointed out, takes two "rides" a day, five days a week. "That's 10 rides and if that person works for 45 weeks out of the year, that's 450 rides," Klemm said. If 10 people do that, he went on, that is 4,500 rides -- which sounds impressive, but still represents only 10 people riding a bus. "We've got to start working together to solve the problems," Klemm said, noting that pie CTA and the STC could interact governmentally in order to solve mutual service problems. *^Were trying to get back to local control and keep the tax base down," Klemm concluded.

MARCH 4,1981 anyone wishing to have some to take home. Paper, glass, steel cans, used motor oil and aluminum products are all acceptable for recycling. It is hoped that new people bringing in their aluminum cans will bring along with them other recyclables that have ac­ cumulated around the house, such as bundles of newspaper, bundles of magazines and cardboard, and used motor oil from the last time the oil in the family car was changed. Recycling products that accumulate within the home helps the families involved by cutting down on their trash, helps the non-profit groups working on the drives raise money for their various projects, saves landfill space, and most important of all, saves natural resources which would otherwise be lost from uuse. Anyone having questions regarding the recycling program is asked to call the McHenry County Defenders representative at 385-8512.

The cost of the portable stand was estimated at more than $5,000. The matter was referred to com­ mittee. Timothy Firey, representing the Northern Illinois Special Recreation association, asked the council to con­ sider joining the association, which would require a $.02 tax levy. Alderman Pepping voiced the con­ sensus saying, "I feel strongly against a new taxing body without citizen input. As an alderman, I could not unilaterally impose a tax like this." The council did offer, however, to make recreation facilities available to the group, which provides recreational activities to mentally and physically handicapped individuals. The low bid of $6,045 for a pickup truck for Superintendent of Public Works Richard Weber was awarded to Mitchell Buick. The council is investigating a lease- purchase agreement for the purchase of the street sweeper. The sample agreements were referred to Attorney Narusis.

Then there's the economy crunch with the problems it* creates. The President set the mood and he's being followed like the Pied Piper. That is, he's followed by local governments like the City and County. The little people aren't so sure they agree until they find out where the axe will fall. Schools are getting into the act too. They're banding together to tell the powers-that-be, in this case the ICC, that Commonwealth Edison is taking too much school money that would better be spent on education. Schools are also making themselves heard in the state capitol, where they hope to create enough of a stir that something will be done to revise the state aid formula and give elementary schools, the fair treatment they feel has escaped them. And last, but not least, among the angry people this week was the lady who sincerely believes our city fathers should initiate the pooper scooper idea in McHenry. " . It's big in many larger cities and this lady, who is in many ways proud of her adopted city, would like to see McHenry set the pace for other nearby com­ munities by making it mandatory that folks who walk their pets be required to carry scoopers. Now there's something that won't cost the city more than their time to pass an ordinance. And if there are many other residents who feel as strongly as the lady who complained, it might not be a bad move politically.
