The clinic is held at Peterson Park in Mc­ Henry i District and is sponsored by the McHenry Park Valve eyed as fault of gas leak The chlorine gas leak that sent nine people to Northern Illinois Medical Center Sunday afternoon might have been caused by a faulty valve, said Pete Merkel, Director of the City of McHenry Department of Park and Recreation. Gas escaped from a near empty tank at Knox Park pool when park workers attempted to change the tanks containing chlorine gas. Nine victims were transported to NIMC for observation after being exposed to the gas. One park em­ ployee, Tom Egan, a consession stand worker, was hospitalized overnight. Merkel said the incident appears to have been caused by a faulty valve rather than any mishandling on the part of the workers. The workers "have been changing the tanks for two to three years- Merkel said. They know the procedure. Merkel said the tanks will be in­ spected to determine the exact cause.
