Social Wheel Bake 8*le City Hall, Saturday, March S. GlWM Small Answer* Chargee ft Chicago Tribune in Speech at Hillsbero, III Illinois motorists are now buying tax-free gasoline, following a decision handed down by the Hlihois supreme court last Friday, which declared the gas tax measure unconstitutional. Believing it unnecessary to await the routine of making effective the supreme court decision abolishing the tax, Governor Len Small at once ordered that the state stop collecting the tax immediately. State Is Restrained The decision of the supreme court ordered the Kane county circuit court to issue an injunction restraining the state from collecting the tax longer. May Get Refunds Several problem s remained to be solved in connection with the state gasoline tax, however, although it was effective less than seven months. Persons who have paid the tax under protests and have receipts may secure refunds. Others will not. The state has collected approximately $6,000,000 from the tax and thd money is in the treasury. It cannot be used under any existing law, legal authorities believed, and an act of the legislature may be necessary to release the money. 300 Miles of Road "The money collected from the tax will build 300 miles of hard road," Governor Small said in commenting on the deoision. "It was intended for this purpose and certainly should be so used." Reporting a road meeting at Hillsboro, on Monday, at which Governor Small made an address, the Associated Press says: "Aiming a 2,000 word broadside at the Chicago Tribune and Secretary of State L. L. Emmerson. 'The Tribune's candidate for governor.' Governor Len Small today fired the opening guns in his campaign for renomination and re-election. "Fully one-half of his 4,000 word address, delivered at a hard roads hearing here, was in answer to charges made against his administration by Mr. Emmerson and the Tribune. ^ "As he spoke, the governor held in his hand a copy of the Chicago Tribune for February 26. " 'This copy of the Tribune,' he said, 'claiming to be the world's greatest newspaper when it is in fact the world's greatest liar and Illinois' greatest menace, is printed with a regular horsesale bill headline, "Open Gas Refund Fight, Small to keep $8,700,000 of money illegally collected." "'The truth is that the $6,248,000 actually collected under the gas tax law, which was set pside by the supreme court on legal technicalities are VOTJS FOR BOND ISSUE To the Voters of McHenry: You are called, March 24, 1928, to vote upon a proposition to issue $60,000.00 in bonds to pay pressing outstanding obligations of the city. These obligations MUST BE MET. Some of them are in the form of judgments against the city, and others are warrants which have been issued, the holders of which may at any time sue the city, and there is no alternative but to confess judgment. If is done, additional expense will be entailed. If the bond issue is endorsed by the electors, it will enable our purchasing department to purchase on a cash basis. At present, all merchants and others who furnish the city with goods and supplies do not care for our busi. ness, owing to the fact that they are not sure when they will be paid, and usually add a carrying charge. This puts the city in a position where it is paying 15 to 25 per cent more than would be required if we bought on a cash basis. With this incubus lifted, the administration will make an honest and persistent effort to keep the ordinary expenses of the government within its income. This plan has the endorsement of leading business men and various organisations. PETER W. FRETT, Mayor. JOHN THENNES, HERMAN KREUTZER, ' RAY HOWARD, PETER DOHERTY, ROBERT FRISBY, R, I.

The contract will be let just as soon as settlement is made with the insurance company, it was announced recently*. Fire sweeping through the drying room of the Foulds Milling company plant of Libertyville, threatened that large plant for more than an hour last Friday evening, while firemen braved dense gas and smoke to fight the flames. Damage is placed at $2,500, confined to woodwork and products stored in the drying room. Glenn Hoskins, manager of the company, stated that the fire would have no effect on the continued operation of the plant. He also stated that the loss was covered by insurance. At a meeting of the Fox River Valley Federation officials in Geneva a reorganization was decided upon to meet the decision rendered recently by Circuit Judge W. J. Fulton. The reorganization will include a redrafting of the district boundaries SAFBTT-FIRST DEMONSTRATION AT HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASIUM A safety first demonstration, put on by the Speakers' Bureau of the Public j circulation of a petition calling for an Service company, took place at theie,ection and authorization of an elechigh school gymnasium on Monday tion by a commission of county judges, evening at 8 o'clock.

Speaker at Meeting Last Thursday Evening The meeting of the McHenry Pwanis club last Thursday evening was in charge of the Inter-Club Relationship committee, with Thomas P. Bolger, chairman. A good attendance was noticeable as this was the last meeting before the chicken-bean banquet, which will be held at the Niesen Cafe this (Thursday) evening, at which time one-half of the club membership will indulge in chicken and the other half eat beans, as a result of the attendance contest, which has been carried on for the past several weeks. President A. E. Nye extended a welcome to the guests of the evening last Tuesday night and instituted a new way of introducing all present. Starting at his left, the president introduced the one sitting next to him and his example was followed all the way round the table. The guests of the meeting Parker Hughes, from the International office, Chicago; John C. Miller, William S. McConnell, E. F. Meyer, R. P, Pfeiffer, Walter F. Conway, D. R. Joslyn, Jr., and George E. Sullivan, all of Woodstock. MY. Hughes was the speaker of the evening, going into the history and purpose of the Kiwanis organization. He brought out many ideas which will be very valuable to the local members of the club Mr. Bolger called upon John Miller of Woodstock to speak for the, Woodstock delegation, placing Mr. Miller in a rather embarrassing position, as he had been given no notice of his being delegated to represent the visitors. John, however, was equal to the occasion and after a few remarks, passed the buck to his friend, Atty. D. R. Joslyn, Jr., who is always prepared to accept such a challenge. These gentlemen from the county seat carried home with them some of the spirit of Kiwanis and we would not be surprised to find a movement started to organize a Kiwanis club there in the near future.

The Chicago 4k North Western Railroad company has paid $8,000 for injuries received by Conrad Lockert, Jr., when he was struck by a C. & N.

An eighty pound wolf was trapped in an unusual manner near the Paul Hildebranat farm, southwest of Barrington, at tlie junction of Rand and" Wilke road. Hildebrandt and several friends had just started their car when the wolf jumped from tall grass at the side of the road and snapped at the tires. They checked the car to find the wolf had been caught under a rear wheel. He was killed with clubs. ^ Charged with* having literally bitten the nose from the face of William Limacher, age 30, during a rough-andtumble fight, Grivett, 31, farmer residing one mile south of Harvard, was arrested last Saturday and taken to Woodstock where he waived a preliminary hearing and was released on bonds of $5,000. The charge against him is mayhem. Limacher was taken to a Harvard hospital where surgeons, by the use of skin grafting, are endeavoring to remedy his injuries. That he will be permanently disfigured is almost certain according to reports. Earl Hughes and William Leonard of Harvard were fined $200 each in Judge Charles Allen's county court one day this week.
