In neither instance is it necessary for children boarding or leaving buses to cross the street. Maybe , this is assurance enough that the situation is safe, but there are times when the convergence of children, cars and buses in one confined area makes for congestion that is scary. We have talked to Fred Goering, director of Transportation for the McHenry school districts, who obliged us with a brochure focusing on the subject of school bus. safety. It was distributed at a recent convention he attended.

At those stops the bus driver may activate the hazard warning lights. Motorists should use caution but are not required to stop. The local transportation director said there was much discussion on this subject at the convention, but he quoted one member who said, "Every situation is different." •fl.M mcie is uu UOUDI mis is a loading zone, but it is not off the roadway. Mr. Goering explained that some changes have been made, and he looks for more off-road loading and unloading in the future at the primary center.

SIZE needed repairs to the Wonder Lake dam. In the suit, the plaintiffs charged the proposal failed because six proxy votes against formation of the park district were erroneously included. The suit claims the votes were not shown to the presiding officer at the meeting nor were they noted in the minutes -- a violation of association bylaws. 0 The motion to dismiss, filed by Master association attorney Richard-* Flood, called the complaint ft?" sufficient because it: -- "... fails to set forth an actual justifiable controversy. Rather, plaintiffs raise a moot point and seek legal advice on a hypothetical problem. Plaintiffs are complaining about the results of an opinion poll .wljUn xorporati "Even assuming their com _ regarding an erroneous vote count was correct, any member of the corporation or an individual citizen is free to attempt to create a park district pursuant to the statute. The support or non-support of the defendant association does not in­ fringe or enhance that right. -- "... is vague and ambiguous... in that the minutes of the meeting are not attached nor is any excuse offered for not attaching them." WLMPOA President Ed Beard said he wants residents to put the lawsuit behind them. "I once again extend the hand of cooperation," Beard said. The plaintiffs' attorney, David Gervais, was unavailable for com­ ment. Concerning outstanding dues, Beard said, "I'm going to do everything possible to collect them." Although $50,740, or 87 percent, of the dam dues have been collected, Deep Spring Woods, Deep Spr je subdivisions still nave paid. The subdivisions' voting privileges have been suspended.

Property owners are being charged $10 per lot per year, regardless of improvements and $10 for un- subdivided acreage. Beard agreed with them. "It's not an equitable program," he said, "but if you want to be so critical of the $10 dues structure, bring to me a viable, fair alternative. Anyone can sit bade and criticise." Regardless'of the problems, dam repairs are on schedule and should be finished within the next two weeks, Beard said. The coffer dams and sluice gates have been installed, as has one turning fixture. The east gate is completely finished. The contractors, Illinois Hydraulic Construction Co., are waiting for concrete on the west side to set. The cost of repairing the entire dam stimated at $500,000. That includes 1,600 needed to install coffer dams and replace the sluice gates, $29,014 for the engineering survey and an estimated $400,000 required to install gabbions -- wire cages designed to protect the embankment.
