S. Parks. I have not had time to check up on the whole article, but from glancing over it I would say that there is just about as much truth in this article as one will generally find in any article originating from such a source. I would like to say a few words in regard to the fire department and fire equipment. The balance of the article will be aSnwered later. One thing is certain, A^S. Parks and the rest of the leaders of his "obstruction league" want money spent for a fire department just as much as they wanted it spent for sewerage, water works impru. ement; community high school, street improvement or any other improvement that was ever proposed that would be a benefit to the community. I can prove by reliable business men, whose word I- do not think it would be wise or healthy for him to contra- | diet, that A. S. Parks made the state- Chicago j ment in public that if the village sister, Mrs, C. H. Duker, left Sunday made them like it. board attempted to buy a fire truck that he, Mr. A. S. Parks, would And some way to prevent it, or words to that effect. ' I, as a member of the board, feel that the board should have ridden over the "obstruction league" /rough shod and purchased a first-class fire apparatus, made them pay their share and for4her home in Missouri Mrs. Nellie Stanton and daughter, Nellie, of Long Lake were guests in the home of the former's daughter, Mrs. Mary Powers, last Saturday. Mrs. Harrington and daughter, Lillian, of Chicago were week end guests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward R. Sutton at Emerald Park. Mrs. John Montgomery and little daughters of Oak Park and Miss Blanche Meyers of Chicago were wieek end guests of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Meyers. P. M. Justen and Jack Walsh went to Quincy last Saturday evening to .take charge of the body of the late John R, Brents, which was brought to McHenry for burial. John Bonslett, who is employed'with one of the A. T. & T. Co.'s construction gangs, spent Saturday evening as a guest in the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John W. Bonslett. The gang has just moved from Minnesota to faint* BL The point I want to bring out, and I will back up my statement, is that when A. S. Praks attacked the village board,, in his article last week he was Inconsistent and that he deliberately made misleading artd untrue 'statements. I can say that if it were not for A. S. Parks and his "obstruction league" McHenry would have a fire truck with first-class equipment and a first-class fire department today. Some months ago the village board was on the point of buying a fire truck and called a meeting to ask for bids. It was called to the board's attention that, according to law, the board could not spend money to buy a fire truck unless funds had been appropriated for that purpose. This is a mere form or technicality, but nevertheless it is the law and it made it impossible to do anything before a new appropriation ordinance is passed after May 1, 1923. If the board was dealing entirely with "white" people it would no doubt kava passed an murgmey appropria- 'Wsv - >n ordir it no one played safe. There is one tiling about A. 6. Parks and his "obJlglliW pne need ever quettfNt Stand. They will {&(**»on ittl side that is against everything that might be of some good to the community. The actions of the league writer and his first lieutenant at the fire in West McHenry, in which a baby was burned to death and a mother burned so badly that her life was deopaired of, was such that in most communities there would have been work for a vigilant committee. These two men stood in the middle of the street, laughing at and ridiculing the work of the half frozen men who. had risked their lives trying to rescue the mother and child and whowsre then trying to "live the building. Not a finger was raised to help, in stead they jeered a man who was wet to the skin and whose clothes were froten to him because he took exception to their actions. It was only when ona of the good citizens of West McHenry saw fit to slap the league writer in the face that they saw fit to stop their cowardly actions. Those are the calibre of men, that are at the head of a league whose only object is to heap abuse on the' heads of every man that tries to do his duty to the people and do some good to the community. If these two men had seen fit to stay in the filth and corruption that they created before coming to McHenry instead of bringing it with them, McHenry would get some improvements. As long as our citisens listen to men of such calibre we will get nothing. Let us hope the day is not far away !Ka« Another 4WLH1O.
