Weekly Review Of Candidates For Primaries April 12 Since his election in 1984 Alford has come to be one of the best known of the county office holders, due to certain of his activities in office. During his first campaign he promised the voters that he would abolish the obnoxious Lake County Marriage Mill and this he did imâ€" mediately, â€"regardless of the fact that by this act he deprived himself of a prolific source of personal revâ€" enue. â€" . He has been working ardently in the interests of taxâ€"payers ever since his induction into office. Lateâ€" ly he is receiving a great deal of tax publicity by reason of his action in releasing certain of the tax books to four small townships after Feb. 1. These townships were in dire fiâ€" nancial straits and Alford mainâ€" tained that he had a perfect legal right to relinquish the books to these collectors. On the face of the matter it was apparent that no parâ€" tisanship was involved as the colleeâ€" tors of the townships concerned inâ€" cluded Republicans as well as Demâ€" ocrats, But County Supervisors maintained that the law fixes the date of Feb. 1 as the deadline for the collection books to be turned over to the County Treasurer, so that the excess revenue from the taxes collected should be paid into the county treasury.. Mr. Alford, on the other hand, points out the fact that allâ€"excess revenue evenâ€" tually reverts to the county coffers in any case, no collector being alâ€" lowed more than $1,500 fee as proâ€" vided by law. 5 Alford was born in Lake county in May 1898, of parents who came to the county in the 60‘s.

Shore Theatre Group Presents Program at Woman‘s Club One of the most interesting proâ€" grams ever to be done in Highland Park will be presented by the Shore Theatre Group on Friday evening, April 1 at the H. P. Womens club. It ranges from music to drama to comedy to poetryâ€"the four phases of the theatre. John Leon Drew, a versatile young actor of the New York stage, disâ€" plays to magnificent advantage his undeniable talent for acting. From the halfâ€"crazed middle aged farmer of the first oneâ€"act play, he takes over the e*nlczeriufion of the beautifully "costumed, but â€"longâ€" nosed,~Cyranno de Bergerac. From this comic recitation he goes into the role of a young boy, and from there into the hauntingly sad and eynical character of Mio from Maxâ€" well Anderson‘s poetic. "Winterset."
