John Street declared highway FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oct. 4, 1934) The City Council Oct. 1 voted to make John Street an arterial highway in order to take ad­ vantage of gas tax money coming to the city. The highway will start at Route U.S. 12 and run in an easterly direction through the golf course and subdivision to the eastern city limits. The cleaning and painting of the interior of the standpipe was thoroughly discussed and it was decided to let the job as per contract price of $78. Work of surveying the location for Route 176 from Burton's Bridge to connect with U.S. 12 at Terra Cotta Ave. in Crystal Lake, is underway.

Crystal Lake Ave. Crystal Lake, IL 60014 (815)459-3500 Hartland when the new infimary was dedicated in an impressive program last Sunday. A progress report of a survey taken recently by Staton and Rockwell, planning consultants, revealed that family residences cover the greatest land use in the city, while vacant land available for building is second, streets and alleys, third; and water, fourth. The problem of the greatest interest to McHenry residents, according to the survey, is that of additional parking. A great number also asked for a large department store and many for more night shopping.

For people who bought electric heat pumps, cold weather can be bad news indeed. Because heat pumps lose capacity as the outside temperature drops. At some point, usually right around freezing, they need help from a fc^kup heating system. Usually, it's electric resistance ~ heating, so you end up heating your home with one of the costliest heating systems just when the weather gets really cold. In contrast, gas furnaces and boilers have no trouble coping efficiently with severe winters. Whatever the outside temperature, the new high efficiency models can continue to squeeze up to 95% of the available heat out of every cubic foot of gas. So you're getting maximum efficiency to minimize heating costs in bitter cold weather. Another argument for a gas furnace or boiler is the cost of natural gas itself. Today, it's the least expensive fuel available in this area, and current forecasts indicate it will continue to maintain a strong competitive advantage for years to come. If you're thinking about adding to or replacing your home heating system, we strongly suggest you go with natural gas. It's the only way to be sure you won't be having second thoughts when winter comes to Illinois. NORTHERN ILLINOIS GAS ' One ol the NICOR basic enetgv companies
