And there go all those promises again. To conclude the daily mail, some Illinois Concerned Citizens committee tells us that contrary to popular opinion, the Commerce department data suggests that there may be little difference, on the average, in the salary treatment of men and women. Some people would dispute that. We don't know, but at least we're sure of one thing - none of the boys is sporting one of those beautiful corsages. KAF INCREASE UTILITY INPUT FOR HOSPITAL (Continued from page 1) [ ; Cain on the ownership and operation of ^ the hospital. ™ "You're raising questions about the tax status, ownership and management of the hospital and I don't understand the purpose," Cain said. "The taxpaying public should be informed as to what they're getting into," Wieser said. "I've had a lot of feedback from people about ownership." Cain explained that the hospital was owned by the hospital corporation of about 360 members from the community or service area, managed by a hired staff of administrators and had a not-for-profit status. "Any profit inures to the corporation and not to any one individual," Cain said. Wieser noted the recent increase in real estate taxes and commented that people were interested in what any additional costs would accrue. Aid. Jack Pepping (1st ward) sought assurance from the board president that funds contributed by the city might be indirectly recovered as the surrounding areas develop. Technically, the city cannot recapture funds from the utility project . . ... "We' can- do something toda^ »Vo benefit you," Pepping said. "Maybe you can do something to benefit us." Cain said the feeling of the board was How To Subscribe To The McHenry Plaiodealer Th» McHenry Ploind«ol«r 3812 W.

Pric»« good in McHenry County that the corporation and the city should act in a "partnership." "We are as interested in the welfare of the community as the city is," Cain said. Mayor Stanek said the matter should be put in perspective and noted if General Obligation (GO) bonds were used to fund the $200,000 over 10 years, a tax increase of $.03 per $100 of assessed valuation would result. The mayor also pointed out that the 1969 bond issue of $.08 per $100 would be coming off the tax bills in the next couple of years. Aid. Raymond Smith (3rd ward) asked where the money was going to come from to fund the public benefit contribution. Pepping commented that the public benefit on GO bonds could be levied for and "c6nsidering the level erf reserves this would be the route we have to go." No decision was made concerning over what time frame to fund the project. A motion to increase the public benefit contribution to 25 percent of the co6t passed 7 to 1. Aid. Wieser cast the dissenting vote. In other business, the council voted to adopt suggested revisions in the city ordinance relating to payment of overtime hours for municipal employees. A unanimous vote authorized the police chief to use his discretion in allowing overnight parking on the streets around Meadow lane, in Lakeland Park, while the roadway is under construction. Superintendent of Public Works Richard Weber announced the resignation of Randy Meyer from the Public Works department. Mayor Stanek noted that John Smith had also submitted a letter of resignation from the Zoning Board of Appeals. The council concurred in the appointment of Larry Weber, 3503 W. Vine, McHenry, to the Plan commission to fill the term of Kit Carstens.

Act On Pay Raise, Road Plan VIEWING TIME CAPSULE-Mark Justen, left, chairman of the capsule committee for McHenry's 1982 Fiesta Days, looks over the time capsule with Gregory Reichle, representing American Wilbert Vault Co., Forest Park, center, and Trey Covalt, 1982 Fiesta Days chairman. The vault was donated to the community by Richel and the American Wilbert Vault company in cooperation with the George R. Justen funeral home, celebrating its 100th year in business. The time capsule, to be contained in Pearl street park, appropriately carries out the '82 celebration theme, "Future Perfect: McHenry". Adv. By Kurt Begalka Shaw News Media Staff Under the threat of a "running" taxi meter, the Wonder Lake village board last week granted the superin­ tendent of public works a pay raise and mapped out a road repair plan. On March 11, Public Works Superintendent A1 Zeman asked the board for a $4 per hour wage, with a maximum of 40 hours per month, in­ stead of his $600 annual salary. After debating the issue for a month, the final solution was a compromise. "We have to resolve it tonight," said board President Jim Rachel. "The taxi meter is running." Starting May 1, Zeman will receive $160 rather than $50 per month, but he is fifre^oing the $60' monthly fee he charges the village for storing road equipment on his property. This means a net increase of $60 per month out of the general fund. It was hoped Zeman's wages could be taken out of motor fuel tax revenues, but a law prohibits using this money to pay elected officials. Hired help and all other road work is covered through the motor fuel tax. The board targeted $13,000 for road work in the village this summer, $12,500 of which will be used for ditching and shoulder work, patching and seal- coating. The balance will be spent on labor costs. The following roads definitely will be repaired; work on other areas will proceed as money is available: - Acorn path will be seal-coated from Thompson road to Lake Shore drive; - The southwest corner of Ridge lane and Burton road will be ditched and scarified (road base checked); - Burton road between Westwood and Greenwood drives will be ditched and scarified, - Dorr road and Ridge lane will be scarified. The board agreed a comprehensive, step-by-step plan is needed. Drainage will be emphasized prior to other work, so the pavement will not stay wet and buckle. "The basic thing is to have drainage," Trustee John Sorenson said. "I say spend the money on ditching." Hampered by limited funds, Village Clerk Duane Zeman said the village does not qualify for Illinois Department of Transportation matching funds to fix pot holes because of insufficient population. But she added alternative funding from municipal bonds, grants or a referendum could be explored. Rachel said as many bad areas as financially possible will be patched. If any extra money remains, it probably will be used to improve Woodstock street. Lake Shore drive and-or Coral road. "I don't want mine done," said Duane Zeman with a laugh. "I have natural speed bumps It keeps things quiet."
