T3ie above amounts have been arid now subject to 6 per cent interest, ntil paid, dating back to 1923. The lounts due have interest added.

' There is at the present time a damage suit pending in Woodstock in favor of a certain Busche, claiming damages of $3,000 for doctor, nurses and repair of automobile. This accident dates back before the present board. Right-of-way bond outstanding-- $7,000. Interest on same at 5 per cent There will be a right-of-way to be purchased for Route 61, south on Front street, but up to date no specif* ic amount has been agreed on and, eontr&ry to rumors, no fill in has been contracted for by the present board, nor has any been anticipated. Cannot Spend Bond Issue Money From the above figures which are correct according to the records available it is plain to see that your present city council, or any to follow, will not have an opportunity to spend any of the contemplated bond issue and if the taxpayers are interested in trying to avoid any further increase in valuation for increased taxation, vote "Yes" few the $60,000 bond issue next Saturday, April 21. For the benefit of the taxpayers the following may help you decide whether you care to pay the above debts, all contracted previous to May 1, 1927, by bond issue or increased valuation - in order to raise sufficient money to pay the city's debts. Remember increased valuation means only about one-third more city tax return as the state and county receive the other two-thirds on every dollar additional raise in valuation. This increase in valuation will stay there until raised again, but is never lowered once you raise it. Do Not Be Misled Last week's issue of the Plaindealer carried the following in a letter published by one of our citizens: "Do not be misled by fear that if the voters do not pass this bond issue at . this time that the bonding powers of thisr city will be changed Julyl, 1928, and that then it will be too " V * , Answering this, I will quota the following taken from the records of the ist special session of the legislature: 'Senate Bill No. 1, Special Action 1--No county having a population of less than 500,000 and no ^city, township, 'school district or other - municipal corporation having a population of less than 300,000, shall b» come indebted in any manner or for anv purpose, to an amount, including existing indebtedness,, in the aggregate exceeding two and one-half per centum on the value of the taxable property therein, to be ascertained by the last assessment for the state and county taxes, previous to the incurring of such indebtedness. The above is eflective July 1, 1928, and is understood so by all the bonding houses. Your mayor and city council have, with the assistance of bonding houses, sacrificed their time and money to figure out a legal system of paying off the old indebtedness if the ta* pave: ? want to co-operate, and let me emphasize, if the taxpayer of the city of McHenry want to save thousands of hard-earned dollars, let them not be that they should entertain no fear about the change of bonding power. The present board is so far the first board you have had for some time back that did not go backwards. To date we have issued only $1,000 in anticipation warrants and we, the present board, have no reason for misrepresenting anything for or against the contemplated bond issue. If ybu wish to hold down the valuation on taxable property, vote ' Yes for the $60,000. If you want by force of necessity the valuation of your property raised to meet the legal obligations of your city, vote "No1 against the^bond issue. f Mr. Taxpayer, your mayor and city council will at all times abide by your decision. We have aimed to give the people of McHenry the best we had, and as long as McHenry allows me the honor of being your mayor, I will continue, as I have in the past, to endeavor to mak£ McHenry t% first city in McHenry county to crawl out of the muddle.

It is often said that conditons ft their development can never remain the same, but that they must either advance or retard in modes of progress and advancement and so we again see signs of progress and advancement for the summer season just opening. In this locality the prosperity of the summer resorts and their growth and increase in population and in the building of homes is a very important one for this city as these residents bring into our midst much revenue obtained through their patronage during their residence here. That the summer tourists and resorters art increasing in number every year can easily be discerned by casting an estimating eye over the many new sub divisions opened each year with the steady growth of little summer cottages cropping up on lots located in the most unlooked for places and in environments that are many times anything but modern and convenient, but these people are afforded great happiness by their visits to the country and they increase our population and make this section a very busy one. Would Serve 450 Cottages It is estimated that there are about 450 cottages along Fox River from be operated for the four summer months, probably from May 15 to September 15, will be a contract job and will probably go to the lowest bidder, as is customary in such cases. Although this marine mail route is a new thing for this section of the country it has been tried out satisfactorily in other resort districts with «ne in operation at Lake Geneva, fis., and another at Delevan Lake. In this day and age of hurry and achievement, "Service" seems to be the popular slogan of the times and every year new and more perfected modes of service are inauguerated What greater example of "Service" can be asked than the daily delivery of mail to the very door of a cottage even though it be many miles away from the city and several miles away from any postoffice. ^ » i -- M'HENRY TO GET A.

ENJOYS VISIT WITH SIR HARRY LAUDER M'HENRY HIGH ON ACCREDITED LIST GOOD NEWS RECEDED BYSUPT. DUKER 7 Plans Are Under Way to Entertain Six Hundred Ex-Service Man On June 9tlT After meetings in Elgin and McHenry (Wring the past week, McHenry Post 491, American Legion annouces that plans are well under way for the annual convention of the Eleventh District of the Legion, comprising McHenry, Kane, Will and Dupage counties. The convention is to be held on Saturday, June 9th, at M^Hfenry, known as the "Gateway City to the Famous Fox River and Lakes Region." It is expected that every post in the district will be well represented ion that day, and McHenry Post is planning to entertain upwards of 600 Legionnaires. Parade To Be Feature As usual, the parade will be one of the big features of the day and it is expected that there will be at least eight drum corps in line from the various posts, as well as colors from nearly every town in these four counties having Legion posts. State Officers To Be Present Thomas P. Bolger of McHenry, the commander of the Eleventh District, announced on Wednesday that the following officers will very likely be present: Albert Carter, department commander of Illinois; Floyd J. Heckel, department adjutant; Ferre C. Watkins, past department commander; Howard P. Savage, past national commander, and James Sykora, commander of the second division of Illinois. Plans are rapidly being completed for the entertainment of the visitors to McHenry and will be announced later. Big Meeting Monday, April 30 The local post will hold a big meeting on Monday night, April 30, at which time a big lunch and entertainment will be provided. This will probably be the last chili supper of the season. Representatives from other posts in the district will be present. Every local ex-service man is urgently requested to be present at this real old-time get-together in the new club rooms over Bolger's drug store. Grading Spencer Hill The Crystal Lake road past Spencer's mill and up the hill to the city limits, which has been in terrible shape for the past four or five weeks, was graded the first of the week and is now in better condition. The sewer ditch had caved in several places, leaving holes several feet deep where many cars were stuck at different times but luckily no serious damage was done. Gravel is now being hauled onto some of these places and the road graded and the improved condition of the road will be greatly appreciated by all who have to-travel that way.

Many of these people now have no mail delivery service whatever while many of them have no service within a half mile or a mile of their cottages, and it was because of this fact that the idea of a water route for the delivery of mail to cottages along the river during the summer months was first conceived. The residents in one or two of the subdivisions have already seriously considered petitioning for better mail service and the necessity of some better means of accommodation for these people on the river but some distance away from the main highway was becoming a matter of serious consideration. Although, as before stated, the marine route is not as yet a sure thing for this locality yet it will very likely go into effect this season. Mr. Mallory, who is connected with the railway mail service, was sent out here by the postal department to look over the ground, check up on the needs for such a route and to collect information to send to headquarters. He has made two of these trips to McHenry and at one time he went over the proposed route and he is expected to return within a few days, at which time arrangements for the route will probably be completed. Other Routes Not Affected The permanent routes of the present mail men will not be affected by this change, if it is made, for they will retain nearly all of their present patrons, but as they arc unable tc accommodate many more patrons the water route will be used for those not receiving service of this kind. Stops cannot be made at every cottage as this would take too great an amount of time, but the mail boxes will be bunched on community lots or some convenient place so that from to five stops will be made according to the size of the subdivisions, making a total of about fifty-two stops on the trip from McHenry to the dam and back up the river probably as far as Coon Island. There are about seventeen cottages on Coon Island, alone, and their inhabitants are now required to cross to the main land to obtain their mail. The marine route would be a great convenience and accommodation to many of these people. Over the _ route which would be covered by a marine mail delivery system the residents of the following subdivisions would be benefitted: Upon leaving McHenry the launch will probably follow the west shore of the river as far as the dam and leave mail at the Stenger, Allen and Owen subdivision, the Wheeler subdivision and Idyll Dell and returning along the east shore would make stops at the Hughes subdivision. Oak Hurst and if the residents desire the service stops will be made at Hickory Grange and Mineral Springs, althought these two places are quite near the main highway and might receive better service that way. North of MicHenry there would be stops made all along the river, including Wood lawn Park, HoweU s Villa, Oajcwood, Sunset View, Columbia Park, Riverview Park, Riverdale Oefflings subdivision, Schaeffer's subdivision, Half Moon Island, Bald Knob, Coon Island and Niesens King's and Huemann's subdivision. Orchard Beach and Sunnyside Beach on Route 3, Schaeffer's Grove on Route 1 and Emerald Park on Route 2 are now getting satisfactory service and there would be no advantage for them to change.

Talk Over Old Times In Native Country Miss Maud Curr went to Chicago on Thursday of last week, at which time she was granted a great pleasure as well as a most signal honor by an interview with one of her countrymen as well as townsmen, none other than the noted and well loved, Sir Harry Lauder. Sir Harry, who is appearing' in his I original and popular program at the Olympic theatre, made an appointment with Miss Curr and met her at the Sherman hotel at 1 o'clock Thuusday afternoon, at which time they had a most enjoyable visit and renewed oldacquaintances and familiar scones, y Lived In Arbroath Sir Harry, who was the oldest of a family of seven children, lived at Arbroath, Scotland, and it was also in this city that MSss Curr lived and where her father was the owner of a large flax mill. She relates many Interesting incidents of the life of Harry Lauder, and how they both attended the same school and knew the same people. When Harry waa twelve years old his father died and it was left to him to aid his mother in the support of the family. He did not receive a great deal of schooling and had to work hard, but his talent began to appear in the early years of his life and he was never happier than when he could dress in costume and appear at private theatricals. Dressed In Native Costume When he appeared for his interview with Miss Curr he was dressed in the typical highland costume with kilts, purse and the scotch plaid thrown over his shoulder and held in place on the shoulder by the valuable caremgorem stone. After the interview MSss Curr went to the Olympic where she saw him appear on the stage and was greath impressed by his wonderful power and magnetism as he carried his audience with him from a round of laughter into the deepest pathos. Nsrtfc Central Association Places Local School on Approved List For One Year A communication from the North Central association of' Colleges and secondary schools received recently by Superintendent C. H. Duker contains the good news that our community high school has been placed on the approved list of the North Central association of colleges and secondary schools for the period of one year, ending March 16, 1929. This action was taken at the thirty-third annual meeting of the association held in Chicago on March 15 and 16, and is a very signal honor for our high school, as it is the highest accrediting that can be given a secondary school in the United States. Before the new high school building was built an effort was made to obtain enrollment in this association, but owing to inadequate building conditions we were rejected and so it is with a great deal of pride that Superintendent Duker has at last attained this goal. Within a short time a certificate of accrediting will be received from the chairman of the state committee. Aims of Association The aims of the North Central association of colleges and secondary schools are, first to bring about a better acquaintance, a keener sympathy and heartier co-operation beteween the colleges and secondary school of this territory; second, to consider common educational problems and to devise the best ways and means of solving them; and, third, tf» promote the physical, intellectual an) moral well being of students by urg ing proper sanitary conditions o£ school buildings, adequate library and laboratory facilities and higher standards of scholarship. The association is conservative with many requirements to be reached before a school is accepted. It aims to accredit only those schools which possesses organisations, teaching force, standards of scholarship, and equipment of such character as will unhesitatingly commend them to any educator, college or university in the North Central territory. Notice To Car Drivers Phil Guinto. state motorcycle policeman, has received orders frum his chief regarding cars cutting the corner at Elm and Riverside Drive, McHenry, where the Standard Oil Co. has a service station. The cop has been instructed to see that the driving through this station is stopped unless the motorist desires to stop for gas or oil. Violators are subject to arrest There is great danger of someone getting killed or seriously injured in this practice. Office Guinto also informs the Plaindealer that all car owners must have their 1928 license plates displayed before May 1, according to the order of the Secretary of State.

The efficiency of instruction, the acquired habits of thought and study, the general intellectual and fmoral tone of a school and the co-operative attitude of the community are paramount factors, and therefore, only schools that rank well in these, particulars, as evidenced by rigid, thorough going, sympathetic inspection, shall be considered elegible for the list The salaries paid, the preparatio of teachers for their work, the condition of buildings, libraries and laboratories, records, requirements for graduation, number of teachers and many other requirements are included in the standards which a school must attain before it can be accpoted by the association. The patrons of McHenry community high school may well be pleased that the institution of learning to which we send our children has was no opposition. It seems that the sissling hot cdfi tests of former days are a thing of the past but many of our residents can remember way back when some of the most exciting elections staged in this city were put on at school election time. At the grade school election there were only ton votes cast for R. I. Overton for president of the board and Charles Harmsen and Mat Steffes as members. At the community high school election a somewhat heavier vote was cast with the name of Dr. A. J. Froelich being written in on seven ballots. Joe W. Freund was re-elected as a member of the board however, by a vote of eleven ballots over seven ballots that were cast for Dr. Froehlich. Ji According to custom the school board will probably soon become organized and get down to the work for the coming year. The enrollment for the grade sfehool Association Is Now In r«aHiaa <ftr> Consider All Lean S - Applications The regular monthly meeting of the board of directors of the McHenry Building and Loan Association was held Tuesday evening of this week and arrangements made for a campaign for increasing the number of shareholders in the organization. Splendid success has been achieved for the short time which the association has been in existence, but the board bebelieves that a very large percentage of the people in McHenry and contiguous territory will join when they understand the workings of building and loan and the benefits to bovw»- rived therefrom. f. "Own Your Own Hosse" "Own Your Own Home" is the slogait which is uppermost in the minds of building and loan enthusiasts, because this association is the one organization which provides a way for almost anyone to sooner or later be the owner of the home in which he resides. By putting away a small amount each month, it is but a short time before enough is ready to enable one to make a loan and start the building. A city which is made up mostly of citizens who are home owners is near, ly always a prosperous and stable one. The building and loan associations have made this possible more than anything else. Few pepole outside of those who already experience it realize how easy it is to become a shareholder and soon own a homo. Membership Growing Many new members have been obtained during the past month for the local association and the prospects are very bright for the future. Of lurse, a new association, until it secures a goodly number of shareholders and the dues are paid in for a few months, is not in a position to loans, but the McHenry Building and Loan association has been fortunate in making arrangements whereby it can accommodate all applicants who desire to secure loans on improved city or river property or any who wish to erect a new home. Under State Supervision The association is under Mate supervision, the officers are bonded in large sums and no loans can be made except on first mortgage real estate, thus assuring absolute security to all stockholders at all times. The building and loan is not an experiment. The idea has been in existence for scores of years and in late years since they have been supervised by the state, there have boon'practically no failures. The opportunity is now provided for again attained new honors by being i shows no material change during the ' - accredited with the North Central association of colleges and secondary schools.
