But regardless of the causes, the result remains the same - a dseperate situstion that will affect, at some time, a major portion of the population. The answers, then, are more im­ portant than the reasons. And one of them might very well lie in some legislstion that would eliminate benefits for non-resident aliens who, one way or another, have managed to weasel their way into the Social Security system.

The hearing concerned the petition of Lester C. Laufer for annexation and zoning of a four-acre parcel (ap­ proximate) located a half-mile south of Bull Valley and Route SI on ths east side of ths highway. - • The developer, Laufer, Is leaking appropriate toning for the con­ struction of s medical-profeesionaI office buildlAg snd clinic, with medicel servicee to be performed on the site. The petition also requests s height vsristion to allow the con­ struction of a 37-foot, two-and-a-half story structure. The major difference of opinion concerns the interpretation of the B-l zoning classification of ths city. Ths hospital contends that ths more restrictive B-l zoning will allow ths type of clinic snd services soucht by the petitioner. On the other hand, the petitioner does not went to impsde future use of the property becsuseof s technical interpretation of the or­ dinance. The hospital, represented by At­ torney Jeffrey Ladd, objected to the original request for B-J commercial zoning, fearing that the services of­ fered by the medical "clinics" could negstively sffect the finsncisl feasibility study for the relocstion of McHenry hospital. At the previous hesring, held April 23, the petitioners had agreed to amend their petition to requeet a more restrictive B-l commercisl classification, which was sgreesble to the hospitsl At the outset of the hesring, the petitioner's sttorney, Frank Grsdishar, ssid he hed had a real estate sppraiser examine the per- 'Confession' In" Murder Suspect McHsnry County shsrifTs uves ao not nave nign nopss clearing up a year-old murdsr 1 akemoor with the recent fess ion" of a known hoodlum.

"We sre asking at this time to re- amend the petition to its original form and reinstate our origins! request for B-3 zoning," Grsdishar said. "To do otherwise, to smend to B-l, would be to down-zone the property and diminish its value." Attorney Ladd ssid, "I had been instructed by my client, McHenry hospital, to come today and indicate to the Zoning board that they were with­ drawing their objection, baaed on the petition as it had been amended." Ladd continued to say the move on the port of the petitioner csms as a "total surprise" snd objected to the B- 3 zoning request "We would ssk that the procedings be continued to such time that we can hsve witnesses to svsluats this testimony snd subsequently be sbls to testify on behslf of the hospital," Ladd said "Furthermore, I would ssk that this board issue s subpoene for Mr. laufer and ask that he bring any and all documents relating to the pur­ chase, sale and development of this property...including sny documents relative to planning, engineering, traffic, marketing, soils ana development of the subject property." The hospital sttorney reiterated statements made by Gradtshar at ths Isst hearing that the petitioner had "absolutely no intention of trying to compete with the revenue producing sspects of the hospital." "I assume today that ths amend­ ment beck to B-3 Is for the sole pur- poae of being allowed to operate a medical clinic, which is allowed under B-3 and therefore would compriee the very facility that he (Gradiehar) said, last week or two wesks ago, they had no intention of pursuing, i.e. radiology, slat and pathology labs as well ss outpetiont servicee," Ladd stated. Lsdd said ths continuation of the hearing was necessary so that ths objsctors could cross sxsmlns ths petitioner, in view of the "tremendous significance on the hospital feasibility study." --- Gradishar countered Ladd's SO) Wildlife Calendar 'Shading" Your Homo Pag• 14 FREE TV Guide In Today's Edition Begin Beach Sampling On Weekly Basis Rage 17 "SERVING THE CHAiN O LAKES VOLUME 106 NUMBER 87 FRIDAY, MAY 21 McHenry State Bank Drastic Reduction In Home Mortgage Rates McHenry State bank announced Tudkley that during the month of June, interest rates on home mor­ tgages will be drastically reduced.
