PAGE 20 - PLAINDE ALEE - WEDNESDAY MUSJN AND MEANDERIN' A (Continued from page 1) The Illinois Commerce Comission, which had been petitioned by the railroad for formal abandonment, ruled that the proper price should be $1,003,000. Sills had claimed that since the railroad originally acquired the property through the right of eminent domain, it's only theirs as long as they continue to operate a railroad on it. He feels if they stop using the land to run trains it could revert to the adjoining property owners. Sills says it only takes two men to operate a freight train up his way. In addition to his planned service about three times a week, he said the com­ pany could operate a summertime- only steam passenger train over the line for tourists. Now that the price has been set, the public will watch with interest the future of the proposed railroad. We were unable to reach Mr.Sills, but did talk to a family member who indicated the Geneva Lake Area Joint Transit commission is deep in discussion following the ICC ruling. KAF HOSPITAL GO-AHEAD (Continued from page 1) application. Hospital backers, consultants and tx>ard members came out in strong support of the application and challenged the HSA staff report in a number of areas. The hospital group, led by Corcoran, newly elected board President David Cain, Bishop, and Attorney Jeffrey Ladd convinced the committee that the existing hospital site, on Waukegan road, was not suitable for remodeling and expansion and would, in fact, hinder efforts at financing because it was in a flood plain Architectural consultant, James Cox, explained to the board that remodeling the existing building would take longer and cost nearly as much, $22 million, as building a newer, larger hospital Financial consultants testified thafc^ the project was financially sound and iflr the end, the committee gave its ap­ proval. The group then took the revised plan before the HSA-KLM board of directors and argued further in favor of the Certificate of Need Bishop pointed to the long history of negotiations and discussions with other institutions, Victory Memorial, Con- dell, Woodstock, Harvard, St. Joseph's and Good Shepherd, most of which proved fruitless He noted that negotiations with Sherman hospital always ended in an argument over the location of the facility, which McHenry hospital of­ ficials would not compromise. At that meeting, Mrs. Falconer * eilerated her position that she would not, and did not, vote in favor of the application. Board member Paul Fidier said a . AUGUST 12,1981 tentative agreement had been reached with the McHenry City. Council for the issuance of $25 million in low interest, tax free industrial development bonds. When the vote was counted, the final result was 10 to 7 in favor of McHenry hospital. Shortly thereafter, Sherman hospital sent the McHenry board a proposal whereby McHenry hospital would receive title to the 44-acre Ambutal site and $5 million if: the hospital were built on the site, a minimum 5-year management contract were signed, and 40 percent of the board was made up of Crystal Lake or Sherman people. The McHenry board held a special meeting and held firm on the Bull Valley road site. The board also said that any agreement would have to be signed before Aug. 6 - the day the IH- FPB was slated to meet. No response had been received as of Aug. 3 and the hospital board halted negotiations with Sherman. David Cain said that to hold out hope to the Crystal Lake people of an agreement being reached within the next 48 hours would be "less,* than honest." On Thursday, Aug 6, the hospital officials appeared before the IHFPB where final approval was given. SCHOOL CONSIDERS "SLOPE EASEMENT" FOR K-MART STORE (Continued from page 1) Dr. Richard Farmer, superintendent, said he would like to see an 8-foot chain link fence separating the commercial from the school property. A report on Governor Thompson's budget cuts affecting schools was made known to the board. Although $369 million in state appropriations will be cut, including $138.9 million less for elementary and secondary education, William Landis, business manager, estimated that it would amount to a minimal reduction locally of $3,000 to $5,000. Members viewed a draft of the more specific Statement of Philosophy and General Objectives suggested at a Krevious instructional meeting It is ased on a "perceived need to be accountable to our citizens, but for a program that has been curtailed and reduced. It is proper that we are held accountable, but not for the comprehensive program of our recent past. Both the state and federal governments are refusing to increase educational funding to continue the school programs of the recent past." "Our own citizens have also voted the same decisions twice in the last school year. It seems appropriate that we declare the program we can purchase and will be responsible for providing in the 1981-82 school term." A resolution was passed establishing procedure for accepting and certifying nominating petitions for the election for members of the board. The election will be held Tuesday, Nov 3. The first day for filing is Aug. 17 and the last day, Aug. 24 TGJajZgXizesci. W® The Beverage Center A |i",B,S •' & JIM BEAM 750 ML.

School To Bus Pro Johnsburg School District 12 plans to experiment with the use of propane gas to run buses in the coming year if they receive acceptable proposals to convert four low mileage vehicles for such use, it was decided at a recent meeting. Following a review of the transportation committee's recom­ mendations, the board moved to ad­ vertise for bids. It is believed that with today's high cost of gasoline the school can recover the cost of the conversion in less than one year. Supt. Duane Andreas noted that changes would be needed in the car- buretion systems and fuel containers for the buses with appropriate provisions for safety. The school would also need a propane storage tank at the school for which a safe site is being sought. Andreas said estimates in­ dicated that conversions would range between $1,000 to $1,600 per bus, but the district anticipates considerable savings in transportation costs. The board was reminded that the consolidated elections act will affect the choosing of school board members who will now be elected during the general election Nov. 3. The three-year terms of members Tom Cahill and Jerry Sobiesk are expiring. Terms for new members will be for four years. Petitions, according to the new law, must be filed between Aug. 17 to 24. It is anticipated that the new board mem­ bers will be seated at the reorganization meeting Nov. 10. District 12's lunch program is af­ fected by the reduction in federal subsidies, the board learned. Hot Gas Use lunches at the Ringwood school pre to be eliminated entirely and prices are to be raised by 20 cents at the other schools. Andreas indicated that the new prices will be for second and third graders, 20 cents; for fourth to eighth graders, 85 cents; and for high school, 90 cents. The board agreed to try these prices for a year, and if sufficient students remain in the lunch program to make it self-sustaining, (t will con­ tinue. But the board does not intend to subsidize the program. Also because of the elmination of milk, aid for the cost per carton is to be raised to 15 cents from 9 cents. The board accepted a proposal from a Woodstock contractor to re-roof the old section of Bush school which had developed leaks. The btard also agreed to bid out work recommended by consultants to remedy a flooding situation at Middle school which became apparent during this wet summer. Four rooms had experienced water On the floor. The work wiH include the purchase and installation of a sump pump, digging of swales and some homing, and cleaning out the existing drainage facilities. Andreas recalled that when the school was originally built contractors found springs on the site which required extra drainage. The new principal for Middle school, Kim Perkins, announced that the PTO had raised $300 seed money to set up s store to be run by the students. It will stock and sell pencils, paper, and such supplies to give the students experience in selling, buying and maintaining merchandise in a retail operation. Andreas announced that the district is holding an open house Sunday for the home built by the Building Trades department this past year. It is located in the Dawnwood subdivision near the high school. He noted that the price asked is $82,000 for 1,700 square feet-of living space. The board learned that negotiations with the teacher's association were not settled as yet, but the administration foresaw no particular problems.

Captain Hugh S.
