'Not only has it a peculiar taste but there is an odor as well. The cause has no been determined. However, we believe that the plan to clean out the standpipe and flush the mains would go a long ways towards remedying the unpleasant situation. Mrs. Ethel Coe of Woodstock is the new county superintendent of schools, having been elected to that office by the McHenry county board of supervisors on Tuesday of this week to fill the unexpired term of the late Miss Hattie Dake who passed away recently.

It is ten years since they held forth at the Central opera house, at which time they presented such plays as "Human Hearts," "In Missouri," "My Uncle From New York,". "Finnigan's Fortune" and others. Also several minstrel productions. We have plenty of good local talent here and each play will be staged with special scenery and wardrobe. There is nothing new to report on the road matter altho it Is our understanding that local and county officials are still quietly at work on the matter and that some very important news should develop very shortly. The Plaindealer feels that newspaper agitation at this particular time will not help the cause any and therefore we will let the matter rest until such tirffe as we will be able to give our readers something definite. We trust that this will be mmp C. R. Miller, Director of the Department of Public Works and Buildings, <!nd Frank T. Sheets, Chief Highway Engineer, today issued the following statement regarding the location and securing of right of way on the new bond issue routes. "Many communities are beseeching the Department for a decision as to the location of the $100,000*000 bond issue routes and forwarding petitions accompanied by right of way dedications covering various locations in which they are interested. The new bond issue law provides that all contracts for the completion of construction of the routes in the first bond issue system shall be awarded before any contracts are awarded on the new rovJtes. In view of this provision the Department is making every effort to place under contract at the very earliest opportunity all of the remaining 1300 miles on the $60,000,000 bond issue system and it will not be in a position to take up the question of location of any routes under the second bond issue system until some time during the summer. T "Any • attempts to secure right. of way before the locations are decidet} and surveys and plans are made ate inadvisable. "Before final decisions as to locations are made, the Department, in conformity with its past policies will hold public hearings at which all the proponents of the various possible locations will be heard. Stenographic records of the hearings will be made and we will study carefully the information thus obtained, and the engineering data collected in the various routes, after which a final decision will be made as to location with a view of giving the greatest benefit to the greatest number of people, bearing in mind minimum distance to build and travel and minimum cost. "No community will lose any rights by delaying conferences on the routes outlined in $he new bond is&ye law and we do not sefe any advantages of delegations coming to Springfield at this time in an effort to locate these roads in advance of the public hearings we will hold in the communities where those roads are located. "We will appreciate the oooperation of the general public along the lines herein stated." CAMP FIRE GIRLS j^top! Look! Listen! What? Public ceremonial meeting. When? On March 15, 1925. Where?
