Based on a salary schedule with nine steps from $4.95 to $8.10, the average increase was 3.6 percent. This means some steps received.a greater increase and some received less.

Ms. Nagle said the state's at­ torney's office was asked by Waste Management in June to review the application before the, Oak Brook- based firm submitted it to the county last Thursday. When the request was complied with, Ms. Nagle said that she and State's Attorney Theodore Floro were presented with a petition that included a list of the litigation the firm has been involved in during the past five years, as required by county ordinance. But when the firm officially filed its application petition for approval of its proposed 118-afcre sanitary landfill site at the southeast corner of the intersection of Route 176 and McCue Road in southeast Seneca Township, the list of litigation was not included. , The controversial lawsuit list was expected to be received by the county sometime last Thursday and it would complete Waste Management's application petition. The petition was ruled incomplete Monday until the list of litigation was included. If the county receives the lawsuit list, it marks the start of a 120-day deadline period for the county board. A county ordinance gives the board 120 days from the application County Youth Orchestra Placement Auditions Set The McHenry County Youth .Or­ chestra will hold placement auditions for new players and for­ mer members Saturday, Sept. 10, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Central Grade School, Crystal Lake.

Audition appointm suggested and may calling (815) •e made by 1459-39361 approval is automatic. "We just made sure that in­ formation was applied to every question in the application," Ms. Nagle said of the action taken when Waste Management filed its petition last Thursday; "We accepted the petition as it was, anticipating that the list that was shown to us in June would be included. "We were shocked it wasn't in­ cluded," Ms. Nagle added.
