Regular School Board Meeting
The regular mectinp of the Hunt¬ ley Board of Education was held last Monday evening in the board¬ room of the high school. Trustees Bein. Thrun, Mackeben, Grau, Bas¬ tian, Presdent Jirik and School Superentendent Marks were present Trustee Stading, absent. Following the reading of the minutes and other routine business, the board entered into a discussion of using disposable utensils in the cafeteria. The cafeteria has been experiencing troubles in washing dishes to serve the students eating lunch. The board is investigating the possibili¬ ty of purchasing these items.
Mr. Marks presented two new • WVf# which required resolution by We board. The first enabled the board to legally assess tax payers for Junior College tuitions. Huntley is not in a Junior College district and therefore must pay out-of-dis- trict tuition fees for residents who wish to attend! school under the JuniorlCoUege Act. The law recent¬ ly passed by the General Assembly enables school districts to assess for this obligation.
A motion was made by Mrs. Thrun, seconded by Dr. Grau to levy for the Junior-College fund at the present level. The jnotion. garried 6 yea's no nays.       ''***'¦•
It was reported that there is a constant deficiency in the trans¬ portation fund. This fund at the present time is levied at 8 cents per $100 assessed valuation. It is con¬ sidered by the State of Illinois not contributing to the districts percent¬ age to the transportation fund. The state will withdraw aid if the dis¬ trict is below the minimum levy. Legally the board could go to 12 cents without going to the voters on a referendum.
A motion was made by Mr. Bein. seconded by Mr. Bastian to raise the levy to 10 cents per $100 evalu¬ ation. The motion carried 6 yea's, no nays.
The school has been having diffi¬ culty obtaining bus drivers, both for many route.s which pay 16c per mile to tho driver and for driving spectators to the games which pay a minimum of $5 or 16c per mile, which ever is greater. On last Fri¬ day night's bus, it was reported by a student that over 80 students were crowded into a bus with a capacity of 66. The board stated that it did not wish to have an overload¬ ed bus and instructed Mr. Marks to attempt to find a second bus driver on a full time basis. If he was un¬ able to do this, only one spectator bus would be sent to the games with a capacity of 66 students. The bus would be offered to the high school students first, then if space remain¬ ed, would be offered to Junior high students. Mr. Marks, as of the writ¬ ing of this article, has not been able to obtain a second bus driver, there¬ fore only one spectator bus will be going to the next out-of-town foot¬ ball ganje.
Students pay 10c for his transpor¬ tation. The board also discu.ssed raising tho fee to 25c to defray the expense. No action however, was taken on this suggestion.
Suntley school is aHjIying for state aid for the summer school program. The state of Illinois has granted $4382.89 for this purpose. Mr. Dan Kern at the school esti¬ mated that the amount of state aid should be $4352. The board compli¬ mented Mr. Kern on estimating this amount.

Supervisors Cut Budget
The Department of Health lost its reqnest for a third sanltariam and hlii car euid his desk. These three items were removed from the McHenry Coimty 1970 budget by the supervisors on Tuesday, Sept. 11. This amounted to $12,000.
A raise of $10 for John Quay, head of the Planning Commission was turned dowii. He receives $70 a day or $14,000 a year. The raise would have given him $16,000 for his part-time job, an increase of 15%. Some of the supervisors thought that a 15% raise was too much and it was voted out of the budget.
The chairman of the Board of Supervisors, Wlllert Russel, will receive $12,000 starting January 1 for all of his duties. This includes attending all meetings and being head of the Liquor Commission. He now receives $S,000 for the Liquor Commission and a per diem for each meeting he attends.

Huntley was defeated by Genoa last Friday evening- by a score (rf .34 to 7. According to Coach Mc¬ Donald, one of the reasons the boys loss was that they did not play.
