Dunnegan Construction company arrived on Tuesday evening and the following morning went to work on the McHenry-Volo road, which means that from now until its completion there will be some real activity along that stretch of highway. McHenry citizens as well aw those owning summer property along the river and lakes have waited long and patiently for the start of this work and now that real activity is here everyone should be satisfied. The camp for the men employed on the job is located on the Gerhardt Wegener- property ncar^ Lily Lake, where they will be quartered. According to word as received by The Plaindealer, it is the hope of the company to start the spreading of cement on of about September 1 and if this program is carried out it surely does look as if the four mile stretch can and will be completed before winter weather sets in. Evidently the grading end of the Lake Bluff job has been completeed or the men and machinery could not have been released from that job. HOY CASTAGAIN CONTINUED THIS TIME THE CASE IS SET BACK TO SEPTEMBER BOTH INJUNCTIONS HAVE BEEN DISMISSED Tbe two injunctions in the McHenry sewerage matter have been, we are told, dismissed in the McHenry county court, thus clearitig all obstacles that might interfere with the completion of the system now under construction in this city. The work on the sewerage disposal plant, located on the flats on the west shore of Fox river near the end of Waukegan street, has been started and will be rushed to completion. The big trench digger is still at work on Elgin road, where very little progress has been made during the past week, However, the contractor and workmen have hopes that with the completion of this stretch the worst part of the job will be over and that better progress will be made on the balince of the job. WILL HAVE TO GO SOME TO COMPLETE ROAD ' *.Vy from the progress thus far the McHenry-Woodstock stretch of road, the contractor will have to go some from now on to complete his job before the advent of winter. To the observer it looks as if this would be a physical impossibility, altho it is said that the contractor still entertains hopes of finishing up this fall. Let us hope that he is right. • - St %ffitehnina's choir of Chicago will sing at the 10:16 o'clock mass at St. Mary's Catholic church here next Sunday morning and worshippers who attend will be treated to some of the finest music heard there in a long time. The choir is said to be one of the best in the city of Chicago and their presence at the late mass at St. Mary's will undoubtedly mean the turning out of a large congregation. Lake Villa days last Friday and Saturday brought out the biggest atrecorded since the project was originated at Lake Villa a few years back. The show this ras also otte of the heat ever The Hoy case, which has probably received more publicity than any one case to come up in M^Ienry county in recent years, has again been continued and this time until September 24. This action was taken in the McHenry county circuit court at Woodstock on Tuesday morning of this week. Clarence Hoy, one of the men who were indicted some weeks ago, was arraigned in court and asked for the continuance, which was granted by Judge Edward D. Shurtleff. According to reports around Woodstock, the Hoys asked for the continuance in order to give them more time to defend themselves thru the engagement of legal assistance. It is understood that Att>. F. B. Bennett of Woodstock has been handling their interests thus far. As stated in these columns two weeks ago, adl of the indicted men, with the exception of Clarence F. Hoy, are now at liberty oh bond. McHenry people were heard to express some disappointment on Tuesday when it was learned that the case had once more been continued. ^ ADDITIONAL EXCHANGE Sixteen Richmond merchants have formed an agreement whereby they will combine in the holding of a big bargain day on Saturday ef fach week until further notice.
