Roads Nest Year--Wisconsin Patrol S|en Receive $145 Per Month ; { [Harvard Herald] Smpioyment of twenty patrolmen on &ta*t£ aid roads in McHenry county after April 1 of the coming spring was tentatively agreed upon by McHenry county supervisors, in anntial l session at Woodstock-on Monday of I this week. It was the major subject : of discussjpn at the meeting and su- 'pervisors touched on the theme from every possible angle. The road lSw of Wisconsin, which Illinoisans have studied and many inspected at first hands, seems to meet approbation and the idea is to adhere to it so far as it dovetails into the Illinois highway law. % Patrolmen i# Wisconsin receive a salary of $145 per month, the same to include the services of man, team and wagon as the occasion may warrant and this seemed like ah attractive proposition to McHenry county supervisors, tHb no salary stipend was llntion Stock this lor.

Ward asked an appropriation of $100 for the Harvard poultry show, which will be held next week, -the Harvard supervisor saying _ it has been a board custom for many informd years to vote such a sum as a stimulation to the poultry industry. Where exhibits are made in' more than one city, ait equitable distribution of the fund has been made and where only one city assumes the burden of the work, the entire sum has been voted. Roll call disclosed but three votes in opposition and two of the number later said they did not understand the situation, nor were they conversant with the precedent of other years. State's Attorney Lumley asked the board for a small appropriation to cover minor expenses incurred 'from week to week, which ^as granted in voting him $200.

Now science has stepped in and us, who have never had a doubting thought on the matter before, that the lotus blooms at Grass Lake, where the beds attract thousands of visitors annually, are not lotus flowers at all, but ^re simply the American species of the lotus, called the^yellow water lily or "Water Chinr quapin." The commonly accepted theory-- and one -that has been spread abroad --is that there are only three places in the world where this lotus flower could be found--in Egypt, in Japan and at GrassLake.

The sum of $325.92 was expended for repairs on the Johnscn bridge in Dunham near the Boone county line, the latter county* defraying a portion of the cost, which totaled $708.81.

JMr. and Mrs. Knapp have proven their efficiency at the county home and it is common talk among supervisors and many conversant with the affair* therein that a more obliging and efficient management of the county home has never been conducted than under Mr. and Mrs. Knapp. The vast sum of $1,273,651.15 was handled by W. S. McConnell, county treasurer, during the past yearf adcording to the annual report he presented. McHenry county paid Illinois as its quota of taxes the sum of $120,- 740.92; a total of $100,282.20 was paid out on warrants issued by the board of supervisors; jurors serving in the circuit eourt received for their services la^ year the sum of $3,013.30. And there is still in the treasury and to the credit of McHenry county the sum of $31,547.97, which shows that the county has an attractive wonting balance to its credit.
