Grafton Twp.
by View ToOi ' "^
The June 9 Grafton Township meeting was a short one. It was called to order at 8 by Supervisor Howard Rnth, with ail the mem¬ bers present. The minutes were read and approved, and the treas¬ urer reported more money on hand for the Town Fund than last year at thiee time. After the auditing and paying of ti»e bills was completed, the meting was adjourned.
Following the meeting, some people remained to discuss some issues. One topic was "agitation and annexation." A remark waa made that peopte from Chicago come to a plkce like the Vista in Crystal Lake to get away from city living. "Yet, these people are here for six months and they are agitating to be annexed to the town so that they can have the benefits of cemented roads, side¬ walks, buildings—everything that Chicago has. Many of these people fall to see that with this cemented living along comes the "heartache," such as vandalism, and crime." No one said anything about adequate police pro*ir tion aad fire-»w>6t8ct9S JBJtfemtt^; Ihir tt» city fire dev»rteie»T^for . thi! wtmrnVmupfAt* wbkb will eome with annexation.
Another topic discussed was the fact that certain candidat«f*\ho h»v« been running for offidWHive promised new sewer and water systems if elected. Some thought that roads should be the first to be considered. No one said the swer and water MUST be put in before  the roads.

Major Damgae From Storm
A total of four inches ol rain was recorded in Huntley as a result of last Thui'sday morning's storm. The storm lasted less than two hours, however, durinp that time it caused major property damage throughout the area. A road was washed out at the Ben Hansford farm property north¬ west of town. Houses which had never experienced water before or at least not in i-ecent history found leaks and flooded base¬ ments.
Perhaps hardest hit was the Church Street sujodivision area. At approximately io minutes af¬ ter six the Farmside received a call from Mrs. Elmer Urbach who reported that a basement window had been forced out by the rush¬ ing surface water and three inches Continued on Page Three

lllBellTelephone Announces New Calling Area
A new, widely-expanded toll- free calling plan originally sched¬ uled to -hegin TJWy 13 for tele¬ phone customers in^^ntley has been postponed untir^jngust, Don Legner,   local   lllinoia' Bell  T«ie-
tiiiemeiinii
Now scheduled to begin August 13, the new serviee.-will enable Huntley residents ^|pknake toll- free calls to a largt number of nearby towns, including Elgin and Woodstock.
Legner said some of the work needed to put the Extended Area .Service into operation was delay¬ ed by the recent strike of heavy equipment operators. Thus the company has been forced to de¬ lay the effective date by about a month. But the work is now going ahead, and should be completed in time to meet the August 13 date,  according to  Legner.
Under the new plan, customers will be able to call anywhere in their enlarged toll-free calling area, as often as they like, for a single monthly charge, Legner said. In addition to Elgin and Woodstock, the expanded area will include Algonquin, Crystal Lake, East Dundee, West Dun- d|fce, Carpentersville, Hampshire, Plato Center, Union, and mtmy other communities. In efltct, Legner said, where Huntley |Aione users now have about 700 other customers in their toll-free area, after the change Ihe number will increase to nearly 42,000.
At the same time, new tele¬ phone rates will apply. For ex¬ ample, one-party local residential .service, now $3.66, will be $6.10 One-party business service, now $6.76,  will  increase  to  $|12.
The changes will not affect cus¬ tomers who have subscribed to the Community Service (Unlimi¬ ted 25) introduced last year. This optional offering permits tele¬ phone users to place unlimited calls toll-free to any one of more than 200,00 telephones within about  a  25-mile radius.
"It may be, though," Legner s^d, "that some Community Ser¬ vice customers will be able to save money by converting back to local service when the extended Area goes into effect. Although lUbe new flate rate, calling «rea is ¦mailer than that ||N- Commanlliy Service, «ome cuatvutors mmy Itjod they're making mqa^ of tlwir ' ealli; witlfii the nbir «rta, an4 ^ not t«qu&e  Comtkttinitjr Servij^."
