The money must be on hand before the building is started. They operate on a cash basis here in Hoopeston, t ~ Introduced in 1872 The 50 and 25 cent salaries were introduced when the town was inâ€" corporated in 1872. The first mayor and his council wanted to work for nothing, but found they had to have a salary to make serving their conâ€" stitutents legally.. § Many Improvements It has miles of pavement, owns its own water works and has $15,000 worth of new fire equipment. There are two fine parks, a zoo, a muniâ€" city library and a garbage systemâ€" and they‘re all paid for. The dozen fine churches have it written in their+constitutions that speakeasies shall not be allowed in the city.. And there aren‘t any, citiâ€" zens claim. There is not one ‘outstanding debt or bond facing the mayor and his council. Instead there is $30,000 in the treasury and an additional $25,â€" 000 has been loaned to citizens. Hoopâ€" eston is \solventâ€"with money in the bank. ; "It proves you can obtain efficient men for important offices without the lure of a lot of money," they say. ~.None ever complains that he isn‘t paid enough. In fact the mayor is so Proud of his record he isn‘t even goâ€" ing to cash his pay checks. He says he will have the first one framed and probably he‘ll do the same with the second one, which he receives at the end of his twoâ€"year term. Citizens of Hoopeston point with satisfaction to their mayor and alâ€" dermen, note that good government has actually been realized and conâ€" clude by saying they are getting betâ€" ter government than most places with highâ€"salaried officials. The eight aldermen, who so ably assist "hizzoner," receive 25 cents annually. . Mayor Emory H. Richcreek, a real estate agent by occupation, gets 50 cents a year. Beingâ€" mayor or alterman is conâ€" sidered a civic duty. Municipal ofâ€" ficers take pride in giving as good administrations as possible. â€" They work hard and often for long hours to complete their tasks and satisfy the people who elected them that they are ruling wisely and well. And here‘s what they are paid: Tittleâ€"city ~of ~6000;â€"justâ€"farâ€"enough downâ€"state from Chicago so it can‘t hear the machine guns of gangdom, there aren‘t any problems of official corruption, crime and inefficiency â€" and good government costs only $2.50 a year! | T Mayor and Aldermen Get 25 to 50 Cents a Year; Governâ€" â€" ment Is Good £ HOOPESTON, ILL., IS , Highland Park Locals ST A'IE,S Mm CITY Mr. and Mrs.m Bennett NDanâ€" Frame Their Checks M 0e ocms rnap hmd e on Sn sn im dn m ee n t t Mr. and Mrs, Julins Laegeler of Skokie avenue announce the birth of a son, born at the Highland â€" Park hospital, Saturday, May 23. _ Miss Ruth Radolth of Chicago. was the guest last week of Mrs. Richard Mansell of Clavey road.
