It was remarked by one of the audience that about twenty per cent of the fans were ladies. It was noted that the electric fans and the direct ventilation from so many windows made the room comfortable for the spectators although it was a very warm night. There were seven bouts and they were all good, in fact so good that it is hard to say just how fine and close and exciting they were. And tha thing for the reader of this is to make up your mind that you are going to see the next card and then you will know just how good these bouts are getting to be. The first bout and the biggest surprise of the evening was between Antioch's heavyweight, Harry Petzke, and Dean Craft of Grayslake. Although Petzke showed wonderful improvement over his last bout he just held out to the finish of the third round and the decision was given to Craft. The second bout was not on the card but was one of the fastest matches of the evening. It was Ray Kohler of Fort Sheridan against Charles Keller of Belleplaine A. C. This was a very close match for the first two rounds but at the first of the third round, while punching in a clinch Kel. ler struck a glancing blow that was pretty low and after medical examination was -declared a foul and the decision was given to Kohler on a foul although the judges had already given the decision to Keller. The third bout was between Dick Thibedau of Grayslake and Jimirtie Hull of Tampa, Fla. Hull being the more experienced boxer easily took the decision in the third round. Fourth bout was between the ever popular and steadily improving McHenry lightweight boxer, Billie Blue, and Howard Craft of Grayslake. This was the fastest and most even match for three rounds of the evening. Judges disagreed and the fourth round was boxed and Blue easily took the decision, although Craft's longer reach made him a hard match for Blue. Fifth bout was the clever boxer, Bud Beyer, from Twin Lakes and Marco Stella of Kenosha, Beyer taking the decision at the end of the third round. Sixth bout was between Joe Brown of Belleplaine A. C. and Frankie Hughes of Kenosha. Brown seems to be the best boxer but Hughes rushed him and took the decision on a knockout in the second round. * Seventh bout, George Emroe of the Belleplaine A. C., won by a knockout over Hugh Campbell of Grayslake. Space will not permit us to go into the qualities of all the boxers for next week but some of them will be Billie Blue, Jimmie Watson, Dick Thibedau, Eddie Murphy, Jim Hull, Eddy Berry and Rolland Hines. Don't forget that boxing starts promptly at 8:45, Central Standard time, Wednesday, May 16.

CITY DADS MEET IN REGULMSSWN MANY MATTERS ARE DI8-^ifl CUSSED MONDAY *; New Aldermen Take Active Part In Arguments Over Former [ j Council's Act* About forty spectators were pres. , * ent at the regular monthly meeting;*^ -5 of the city board held at the city *' ,;; hall Monday evening with the mayor 1' ^ and all of the aldermen present in-" * ^ **J eluding City Attorney Cowlin. As®f the city clerk, R. F. Conway, was .notpresent at the opening of the meeting, Alderman Bonslett acted as«l^ clerk and the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.; ^ ^ John Brda was present and was permitted by the mayor to present ; his grievance as to his water bill,; stating that his meter registered around $17 at each regular reading. The matter was referred to Mat Niesen for correction of meter and T adjustment of bill. The regular monthly bills wem -• read and after Alderman John Stoffelr^vV^ had raised objection to paying certain, ^ ** bills out of wrong funds and much discussion among the aldermen' the bills were approved by the finance, ••?•>.. '<. committee to be paid as read. * ' 4 ~ "*'* Repeal Bond Ordinance * An ordinance was read and passed ^ to repeal the $20,000 bond issue of' *.';- 1927 which was regularly passed at, f v that time but bonds were not sold. ^ The treasurer's report for 1927 was read and accepted as was the special assessment report and re- < ports of the city collector and city1 plumber. The matter of unpaid bills against^ the city was brought up and some o€|| the new aldermen carried the ideal that all the bills of the old board were not as yet reported to the mem- ^ bers of the new board. Aldermati Knox rather heatedly demanded thai?; all obligations against the city be reported--right now. Among these bills the Borden right-of-way paving assessment an£i also the C. S. Owen alley pavinf ! assessment were much discussed* whereupon Mayor Frett appointed Aldermen Knox and Bonslett to look into the Borden and Owen bills. - -i ^ y 3 Object to Sidewalk Bill <._• •' In regard to the city's payment • its share for the sidewalks in tip | , Wattles subdivision in the old driv- * ing park, the bill for $1,000 for same ,V * * had been previously tabled and wtm i again tabled at this meeting. Con* I • ' ^ tractors Henry Ahrens' and Frett " ' A »"* *1 Brothers' bills to that amount were ^ TjJ based upon the measurements an# r )' inspections of the walks by the Weill ^ 5 Engineering company. Ex-Mayor >gf Wattles presented the fact that the .jj 'J city was supposed to pay 20 per j /$f cent of the sidewalk bills in accords ance with the past ordinance o* record. Alderman Stoffel objected to tfcn'-v bill, saying that although he had no| . - seen the walks they were reporte<| * 'r to him as being laid on top of th# ^|r ground and not straight, even bein$ built around trees, and that they • V apparently were not according t# : specifications and as far as he coul4 § find no permit had been given by th« * *" city board for the building of same^ and he saw no way of the city pay* iS*'f ing for any portion of the sidewalks* M After much discussion a motion watv^ ; : made and carried that the accpetanc#^ :|| - of the walks be referred to the sidewalk committee. . The Bender bill was brought u|t W with Leo Stilling speaking for Bender. He stated in reference t£ . ".V... an easement of approximately • 45-100 acres to the state for Routt 61 at an approximate price of $1,42% -J with the understanding that after V Bender had donated as much land at « Wattles and Young together, that " there was about 3% acres left for which he felt that Mr. Bender waj entitled to a sum of about $1,100, foil ^ ^ which the city should be holding. Knox Charges Agreement . % Alderman Knox wanted to know i£ ^ ^ that was not proof that there ha^ 4 f ' existed an agreement which was no# f on the city records. It was stated by * Leo Stilling that while Mr. Bendet. . . had signed -the easement for thijf property last August that Mri.-.s; si; Bender had only signed it within thn past two weeks and undoubtedly th# » easement was- not a matter of legal record and that the purchase prid| i so far was a gentlemen's agreement ? only. Knox asked why the agree* ment was not brought before the city , » board, and that this doing thing*- under cover must be stopped. Hfr ?•"> went on to say that the city did nof | ^ owe Bender anything, that he said nf y * agreement had been made, yet there > was a gentlemen's agreement, thai 3| in spite of Mayor Frett's contradkr » tions. no one was going to make ft ^ liar out of him and that last week Wattles was backing Frett to makfr ^ ^ him appear a liar, when there wan ^ ^ plainly an agreement for the pu*» ^ | chase price of the Bender property ^ hich was not on the city ^record*,, 1 i The matter was turned over to Air ^ torney Cowlin. ^ 5 Aldermen Knox, Stoffel and Kreut» ser were appointed to attend to thn% * matter of the Mort Ritt and Overton improvements. • ^ v (Turn to Next Page) ' '>* . u • • • • * " • , 4 . *v" ;.^~i JW. - •- .V .
