Total road fund revenues in fiscal 1984 were 29.9 percent ($315 million) over the same period last year. Revenues from federal sources increased 40.5 percent, totaling $621 million for the fiscal year.

Thompson told analysts from New York bond rating services that Illinois' fiscal promises have been kept and that the state is in good financial shape coming out of the recession. "I came to New York today to tell bond market experts and the rating services that the promises made to them a year ago have been kept. The temporary tax increase was just that, temporary. The one-time obligations of recession have been paid off, and short- term borrowing of a year ago has been paid off," the governor said. "Illinois is looking pretty good coming out of recession. There are still some weak spots in our economy, but basically our revenues are up, our spending is down, and we've been able to give decent increases to social programs and education. Moody's currently lists Illinois bonds with a Triple A rating, the highest possible. Standard and Poor's ranks State bonds as a Double A rating. n McHenry _ « Nn.r IH7". laindealer McHenry Herald (USPS 335 200) Established 1875 38) 2 West Elm Street Phone815 385 0170 McHenry Illinois 60050 Published Every Wednesday & Friday Of McHenry.

New small business aid discussed The small business incubator- rapidly growing in popularity as a launching aid for small businesses-will be the subject of a conference Aug. 28-30 at the Midland Hotel, 172 W. Adams St., Chicago. "Incubator facilities alleviate the financial and administrative difficulties that small businesses encounter during their first few years," said Michael T. Woelffer, director of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs (DCCA), which is co- sponsoring the conference with the U.S. Small Business Ad­ ministration (SBA). "Among benefits they offer are cooperative facilities, less expensive office space, training, and support sessions," con­ tinued Woelffer. "The suc­ cessful incubator strengthens the economy by increasing employment." Approximately one-third of all small businesses fail during the first few years. An incubator increases the chance of survival by 50 percent. Each incubator differs according to the needs and resources available to the particular community in which it is located. Hie conference will cover: -What is a small business incubator? -Case studies of incubator' development and management -Financing of incubators. -Success stories by smalt; business in incubators. -Public policy initiatives. Registration for the con.- , ference will be held between 6 ' and 8 p.m. Aug. 28, and 7 and 9„ a.m. Aug. 29. the opening* session will begin at 8:30 a.m. ' Aug. 29. ; •£ For further information,^ j contact Nancy Smith of SBA ait* (312) 353-4480 or Chuck Kirchner;' of the Illinois Department o(' Commerce and Community"' Affairs at (217) 785-6132. 1984 TOPAZ CS, 4 DOOR Frofit Wheel Drive. 2300 HSC Engine Maintenance-Free Battery Power Brakes 4-Wheel Indep Suspension Deluxe Seat Belts.
