Personal Property Tax? in Illinois are destined to be Personal property taxes when is a query that tax collectors would abolished, but have answered. Because the new state conbe happy to stitution did not go into effect soon enough personal taxes are being included in the tax bill schedproperty uled to arrive a few weeks hence. Governor Ogilvie is confident the tax will be found lacking in its legal status, recommending that taxpayers protest the tax when so is they the bill. A county treasurer could put that part pay of the tax in escrow to be repaid should the high court agree to its rating. Another action, taken by a Peoria attorney, has gone to court with a "class action" protest.

that would mean that Peoria County personal property taxpayers would have to make the protest individually. That action, if not adopted throughout the state would relieve the taxpayer from making his protest. Personal property tax has long been in ill repute and in Cook, County little or no effort was made to collect it. Illinois voters in a referendum abolished the tax as of 1976. The legislature voted to strike the personal property from the tax bill, but that action was taken during the life of the old constitution and so, ineffective.

That is still to be decided in court. In the meantime, tax collections are needed by the various local governments, for already the tax bills are a month late and not expected to be ready until August' 1. The Peoria class protest idea appears to be one worthy of adoption, and less bothersome than the Governor's advice for individual protests.

a warning to travelers to Mexico not to drink tap water, because of an outbreak of typhoid fever. Though Mexico is enticing by its interesting people, its historic background, the breathless beauty of scenery, the water is not safe for the traveler from the States. Even when there is no typhoid outbreak, it is not safe, for those unaccustomed to its use suffer various and unpleasant upsets. The visitor, however, who has been duly warned about the water, will benefit by rich experiences; a trip by car can take one into the hinterlands, most rewarding. Voice Of The People SEEKS SOLUTIONS Streator I am very concerned about the problem with our young people and the park systems.

I feel that the article in Wednesday's paper was not enlightened with the complete facts. I do not think the young people are trying to defy the city ordinances or violate any laws, all I think they want is freedom to assemble and have fun. I realize that some of the young people make matters hard for others, but I also think that if the commissioners would take time out and confer with them, then I'm sure some form of agreement could be reached. The young people we are talking about are not all out radicals or extremists. They are people who will also help to mold our society; people whose ideas are needed to keep Streator together.

I would to see our Honorable Mayor and Commissioners draw up a proposal that would solve the problem rather than talking about what they are not going to tolerate. I affirmatively believe it was not the intention of the young people to take over the Marilla Park last Sunday. It would appear to me everyone, young and old, can benefit from getting together on a Sunday afternoon. I think it should also be understood that not all of the people who go to Spring Lake stand in the street and curse people, who go by. It should also be clarified that Spring Lake is not being destroyed.

The young people are very helpful in keeping it cleaned up. Why don't we, as citizens, try, and instead work of with our degrading young people.

Y. NEW YORK (AP) New York State bolds its Democratic primary election June 20 with front-running Sen. George McGovern striving to add 237 delegates to his already imposing preconvention list. He is scheduled to begin campaigning here today. New York's convention delegation will number 278 with 248 elected in the presidential- primary and the remaining 30 chosen by the Democratic, state committee after the primary, McGovern is competing for 237 of the elective, delegates.

His opposition in almost all the state's 39 congressional districts are uncommitted slates or those nominally for Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, who has dropped out of active primary competition. MoGovern's principal rival nationally, Sen. Hubert H.

Humphrey, of Minnesota, has not fielded any delegates slates in New York. However, he is hopeful of picking up support from uncommitted or -Muskie delegates. Humphrey is said to be undecided on whether to campaign in New York. Already on the scene are 114 youthful McGovern volunteers, among them Kathleen Kennedy, 20-year-old daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy.

She campaigned for the South Dakota senator Wednesday on the streets of Brooklyn and the Bronx. Conservative estimates give McGovern a minimum of 188 New York delegates, including 33 who are unopposed. Less than 20 per cent of the state's 3.6 million registered Democrats are expected to turn out for the primary. Also in the field are 48 delegate aspirants backing Rep. Shirley Chisolm, Brooklyn's black congresswoman, and 12 favoring Sen.
