Georgette Braun INowa Service ** Eight of 21 school districts in McHenry County are seeking increases on the Feb. 26 election ballot. Dundee 300 is one of three Kane .yvwi; school districts posing referenda questions to voters. Seven of the 21 McHenry County districts art elementary districts: Fox River Grove, , JJnion, Hawthorn, Riley, Cary, (Crystal Lake and Marengo. ~<Two, Harvard and Dundee, are combined elementary and high school unit districts. Following are statistics from a survey of superintendents. All are asking for increases education fund tax rate from 49 cents per $100 valuation to $1.18 Harvard also is asking for increase for the the rations, building and fund rate. Dundee is requesting a 50-cent from |4 to $4.50; Fox Grove, 52 cents, from 47 to $2.99; Riley, 60 cents, feom $2,259 to $2,859; Cary, 75 ^(£ents, from $2.33 to $3.08; Crystal Lake, 79 cents, from |2.481 to $3,271; Harvard, 79 . cents, from $3.32 to $4.11; ^J^awthorn, 90 cents, from $2,259 Nfko $2,859; Marengo, 93 cents, "from $2.34 to $3.27; and Union, 11.18, from $2,308 to $3,488. -Increases to taxpayers# referenda are approved range from $65, based on a home in Dundee with a market value of •v $50,000, to $155 for the same- priced home in Union. the 30-cent Based on market values of $50,000, $70,000 and $90,000, respectively, approximate in­ creases for district taxpayers if referenda are approved and homestead exemptions claimed, would be: Dundee, $65, $99, $132; Fox River Grove, $68, $102, $137; Riley, $78, $108, $158; Cary, $98, $148, $198; Crystal Lake, $103, $156, $209; Harvard, $103, $156, $209; Hawthorn, $118, $178, $238; Marengo, $122, $184, $246; Union, $155, $233, $312. -Percentage of increase, when rates of elementary and high districts are combined, would rank Union and Marengo High highest with 30.4 percent, to a rate of $5,059 (Crystal Lake schools would have the highest rate); Marengo and Marengo High, 25.4 percent, to $4,776; Hawthorn and Marengo High at 23.4 percent to $4,744; Harvard, 23.8 percent to $4.11; Crystal Lake and Crystal Lake High, 16.4 percent to $5,605; Cary and Crystal Lake High, 16.2 percent to $5,416; Riley and Marengo High, 15.7 percent, to $4,444; Dundee, 12.5 percent, to $4.50; Fox River Grove and Crystal Lake High, 10.8 percent, to $5,324. - These rates are based on 1983 figures. -Fox River Grove expects the referendum to generate an additional $100,000; Union, $153,000; Hawthorn, $135,000; Riley, $120,000; Cary, $750,000; Crystal Lake, $2.1 million; Harvard, $597,000; Marengo, $300,000; and Dundee, $2 million. -Approximate assessed valuation of Union is $13 million, enrollment is 146 students, cost per pupil $3,030; Hawthorn, $15.1 million, 130 students, $2,568 cost; Riley, $21 million, 250 $100.6 million, 1,603 students, *$2,550 cost; Crystal Lake, $268.9 million, 4,306 students, $2,591 cost; Dundee, $385 million, 10,400 students, $2,852 cost. -Fox River Grove's last referendum was in 1975.. It passed by a 3-to-2 margin; Union, successful in 1976 on third attempt; Hawthorn, November 1984 referendum failed 3-to-l, last successful, 1971; Riley, passed in 1973; Cary last successful in 1973, in 1979 two referenda failed; Crystal Lake, failed by 2-to-l in 1979; Harvard, successful in 1978 with a 22 percent margin; Marengo, November 1984, failed; Dundee, failed in 1969. -Fox River Grove is in debt about $241,000. The district has eliminated 11 positions in the past six years. Curriculum cuts, increasing class sizes and possible consolidation with Cary are alternatives if the referendum fails. Union is iii debt about $180,000. Staff and programs have been reduced. Certified staff could be cut and sports and extra­ curricular activities cut if the referendum fails. Hawthorn is spending $33,000 more than it takes in. Total debt staff students; $2,371; Fox River--is about $200,000. Four Grove, $20.4 million, 309 positions have been cut. students, $2,37? cost; Marengo, $32.8 million, 460 students, $2,708 cost; Harvard, $78 million, 1,796 students, $2,366 cost; Cary, Riley has cut five staff positions. In order to balance the budget, $108,000 could be saved by cutting teacher and aide positions, music, band, sporty and custodial services. Cary expects to borrow $406,000 from working cash this school year. More than $300,000 in cuts have been made this year, including a 22 percent reduction in staff. Crystal Lake expects to have borrowed $2.2 million from the working cash fund by the end of the school year. Nearly $1.2 million in cuts have been made the past three years. Future cuts could include staff and program cuts, including some reading programs, and elimination of extra-curricular activities. There could be a shift from permanent boundaries to busing children to schools where there is room in classes with in­ creased sizes. Harvard could be deficit- spending about $900,000 by the end of the 1985-86 school year, with the working cash fund having been depleted this year. Last year two teaching positions were cut. About $110,000 in staff and programs already have been cut for next year. More staff, curriculum and extra­ curricular programs could be cut. Marengo is deficit-spending by $196,000. About $45,000 in cuts have been made this year. Washington School, one of two in the district, will be closed if the referendum fails. Otherwise, evaluation of keeping the school open will be conducted annually. Some programs will be eliminated, as will a few positions. Extra-curricular activities will be eliminated. Dundee has an accumulated debt of more than $6 million. -Superintendents cite a leveling off, or especially in the case of rural districts, a decrease in assessed valuation. A history of reductions and failure of the state to fund schools appropriately is another culprit. And escalating utility costs have drained budgets.

BUS RIDERSHIP service and the line connecting Crystal Lake and Spring Hill Mall showed big gains over 1963 -14.5 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, Cubbage said. Hie line connecting Wood­ stock and McHenry via Wonder Lake reported only a slight gain of 0.3 percent for the year. In 1983, 53,814 passengers rode the 807 line - compared to 54,003 in 1984, according to SBD figures. Ridership on the line, running from Crystal Lake to Harvard Old account brings back Lincoln tragedy President Abraham Lincoln is Illinois' most famous resident and, in keeping with tradition, Illinoisans celebrated his bir­ thday yesterday. State and county offices were closed and school children en- Joyed a break from classes, if not from the weather. Wonder Lake resident A1 Singh had in his possession a negative of the Saturday, April 14 edition of the "New York Herald," which carried the news of our 16th president's assassination the previous day at Ford's Theater. As a former newspaper pressman, Singh came across the edition while at work. Although he was born in Kentucky, Illinois regards Lincoln as their favorite son for. his vigorous political activity, which was characteristic of the 19th Century. Lively political campaigns were waged between Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas, who defeated Lincoln for 'a Senate seat, but who Lincoln defeated for the presidency in 1860. Lincoln served as president during the stormy Civil War years and defeated Gen. George McClellan to return to the seat in jm* Gen. Robert E. Lee surren­ dered on April 9,1865. Five days later, Lincoln was dead. 1984 to 49,384 riders. A series of service cutbacks under the former Regional Transportation Authority In 1962 severely reduced suburban bus service. Since the SBD was created in the 1984 RTA reorganization, the service has gradually been restored. "It's important to reallae, however, that the SBD now operates a system that's only 80 percent the size of the suburban -- (from page 1) bus system in 1980, but, at the same time, our ridership is only Spercent less than in that year/' SBD Chairman Florence Boone Boone, the mayor of Glencoe, attributed the increases to "carefully planned service improvements, not huge ex­ pansions." In December of last year, total SBD ridership climbed 10 percent, marking the 11th month in 1964 that the number climbed by 10 percent. "As passengers come to realize mat the SBD provides consistent, reliable service, ridership has grown steadily," Boone said. "This has been a very encouraging year." However, Boone cautioned that ridership increases of 1984 are uQlikely to continue at the same rate in 1985. "We are serving an ieaesii- tlally stable market, and, of course, we will be comparing this year's figures with 1984's very good numbers," she said. T H E N E T V Li).
