My Dear Sir--! will very much appreciate the favor if you will allow tne the use of your columns to deny a statement that has been made >9i bout my stand on the sewer question. , I have been informed that at a recent meeting of .the village board on : the sewer proposition one of the mem- - l>ers made the statement that I was ' Hot now opposed to the location of the disposal tanks on Boone creek. If 'this statement was made it was very Wong, as I am now mSre opposed than ever. At first I was opposed !>ecause of the damage it would do to tay property on the river. Now I am •till more opposed because of *the llamage that would be done to the ; HcHenry Country club by locating ;..f»ext door a neighbor that would be most unpleasant during the heated term, the height of our season. Thanking you for your •*"--r.f'fifT • tun, I am, as ever, V • Very truly yoon» ^ f H. H. King. FILLING STATION West of Tracks Bjr Ground was brolftn tin TttSsdsy of this week for a new gas Ailing station to be erected by M. L. Worts on a strip of land located on the sduth side of Waukegan street, immediately west of the railroad tracks. Work on the new venture is to be rushed with all possible speed in the hope that the station may be opened for business within the course of the next few weeks. The building to be erected will be 24x24 feet and will have a nice, wide entrance so that two machines may pass without crowding one another. According to plans, a cement curbing, sidewalk and roadway is to be constructed in front of the building and later on the station is to be beautified by the addition of lattice work fences on either side, whije shrubbery will also help transform what is now a more or less unsightly spot into a place of beauty. While all of the contemplated trimmings will not come right from the offset, it "Is Mr. Worts' plans to add these improvements as conditions warrant, Arrangements have already been made whereby William Schaefer will have charge of the place when completed and, while the builder has not as yet fully decided, it is not improbable that more than one company's oils will be handled. ELECTRIC LIGHT BILLS GROW Wl sale my fieri grandson of the le's Jones. J McHenry, 111* Phone lS»tf UNABLE Aa Lighting Hours Lengthen During the Winter Month* "This is the season when residential electric lighting bills rise," said an official of the Public Service company. "It happens every year and the simjfle explanation is that lighting hours lengthen. October bills will show an increase over September and those for November VH11 be higher than Octobev. The minimum number of what we call daylight hours come on in December. In January the number lengthens and that process goes on until June, when the maximum is reached. "In June the average use of electric light in residences is 1.56 hours per day. In December it is 6.85 hours, nearly four times that of June. 'The daylight saving time system in general use operates to reduce the time people use electric light in summer, thus serving to increase the difference between summer and winter bills. The fact should be borne in mind at this period and Math it the other fact that there are fewer hours of daylight now than in summer and will be fewer yet until the cycle begins its repetition." A notice to this effect has been sent to customers of the company. Mr. and Mrs. James B.

Runyard, master in chancery, that Mrs. Nellie Harm eland Mrs. Casadinia McGuire, who until recently owned a fine farm at Hickory Corners, are incapable of attending to business affairs, in a lawsuit which has grown out of the three <»ornered trading of the farm for a store at Spring Grove and the Cameron restaurant in Waukegan and which has resulted in conspiracy charges against four prominent men. Doctors M. J. Kaye, Florence Stone, J. E. Walter of Waukegan and H. E. Jamieson, Milburn, testified that they ire mentally unable, in their opinion, to transact ordinary business. The charge of conspiracy stands against Harvey S. Dickson of Gurnee and Antioch, L. J. Slocum, auctioneer, of Hickory Corners, James A. Reeves of Waukegan and J. J. Friend of Spring Grove. Dickson now owns the farm at Hickory Corners and has been con- 1 acting the Cameron restaurant. Recently, however, Atty. E. V. Orvis succeeded in getting an injunction restraining him from disposing of the farm until thf case is settled by the court. The plaintiff, Ray Harmer of Waukegan, says that his mother, Mrs. Nellie Harmer, and her sister, Mrs. McGuire, were unable to transact business at the time they disposed of the farm for a store owned by Friend at Spring Grove. He claims that the farm and equipment were worth $11,000 and that the goods at the store was worth only $1,500, while the store building is not worth more than $2,000, but that the four men split a commission of $1,200 four ways in the transaction. Harmer claims that his mother has been ill for nineteen years and at the present time weighs only fortyfive pounds, and that his mother and sister placed a boy in charge of the store, they being incapable of running it. As a result, he charges, the merchandise was dissipated. A report of the master in chancery is expected soon in the matteiv ' sustained a ankle Sunday, goes to Chicago she will spend the r 'Cleared $100 „ Since last week it has been found, after paying all outstanding bills, that $100 was cleared at the New England supper as served by the Indies' Aid society at the M. E. church one day recently* The reault is most gratifying indeed. No Hunting at Trespassing f: -Mrs.' C. Ay severe sprain Mrs. J. P. this week, when winter.
