Mr. Carroll stated that as it was a . necessary public improvement, that if .there were objectors and there prohab- Jjr would be, as there is always oppos 'ition to any improvement, that there ^would not be any doubt but that the |jadge would see that the special astasfisment could be spread. He also .said that if the city board votes for the improvement it would not be -^necessary to advertise the customary ten days for contractors, that they could all notify any contractors that they knew of and that would be sufficient.

Alderman Doherty, chairman of the auditing Committee, said that the board wants to know if all special assessment accounts could be straightened out so that anyone could tell if the right payments had been charged to the fight assessments. The auditor stated that if all records Were available and if a bond record had been kept there would be no doubt *Ut that anyone could check the account, and as Alderman Knox had recently obtained some cancelled vouchers that were not available at the last fljudit it might be possible to give a More complete audit. Alderman Bonslett asked Mr. Worth £o look at bond issue No. 7 and tell what became of the delinquency of $400 that had been turned into the ' fjjjenerai funds. The mayor asked the auditor if it Would be possible for him to meet tfith the audit committee at some ather time as they were very busy on Hie sewer problem and Mr. Carey had arrived. The committee will arrange to meet with Mr. Worth in the near fiuture and see what can be done. After the reason for Mr. Carey's jgdl had been explained to him he said that if the bank could be properly secured they could make the desired emergency loan. Attorney Carroll stated: "We must have money at once and will have a special assessment later, as for security that is better than anticipation warrants." Alderman Knox said: "We have approximately |3,400 at hand collected am bonds that were never issued; can't there be some way devised to use that Money temporarily before it is paid back to its source?" Attorney Carroll said he knew of no such way and he thought it best not fc> touch that fund. , Mayor Frett said to MT. Carey: * **ffWhat do you say, )fr. Carey, can we * start off?" Mr. Carey said: "If the hank can be properly secured I guess ^ can arrange the funds with antici- > pation warrants." » Alderman Knox said: "Even though the state's attorney is lenient at this moment two "of the state men have Ibid me that they would stand no delay." Mr. Ashley of the Wells Engineering Co., said: "If you make this emergency repair it will take the state off your neck until such time as a "special assesment may be spread." It was moved by Alderman Doherty, and seconded by Alderman Kreutzer that the work start at once for the Improvement and that bids be made and in the hands of the city clerk not fter than Tuesday night, July 17, at o'clock. : Alderman Bonalett: "Mr. Carey can jrou finance this at once?" Mr. Carey aaid: "If properly secured, yes." It was the advice of Atty. Carroll Chat the board of local improvements ahould start at once on the special assessment for the full repairs. Alderman Knox said to Mr. Ashley: •How soon do contractors want their foney?" Mr. Ashley: "As soon as ork is completed, the material should t on the job inside of ten days and |he repair made in less than three or four weeks." On the first roll call the motion cariMftied unanimously.

The stately and beautiful edifice presented an even more impressive appearance in honor of the occasion with its decorations in the colors of the pope, while the altars were beautiful in their decorations of a silver effect and banked with flowers of every hue.

Fifty Priests Present Hie service was a wonderful one, which thrilled the heart of everyone fortunate enough to hear it and the mass at which the Rt. Rev. Bishop Edward F. Hoban assisted, was most beautiful and impressive. Fifty priests were in attendance to do honor to the Jubilarians of the day. The processional was led by the cross bearer and altar boys, followed by twenty-five little girls dressed in white, after which came the little bride. The part of the little bride was taken by Mhrie Charlotte Nix, six and one-half years old, a niece of the pastor of St. Mary's church. She was attired in a lovely white silk dress with a veil and train which was carried by two pages, Robert Nix, a nephew of the pastor, and Gerald Miller. She as also attended by two flower girls, Lois Wolfe and Louise Scholl. Then came the clergy, composed of fifty priests, led by Rt. Rev. Msgr. Herman Wolfe of Mundelein and Rt. Rev. Mfegr. F. A.

He stayed at Virgil for twelve and one-half years, until August 10, 1921, when he came to St. Mary's church at McHenry, where he has gained the love and respect of his parishoners and of all who know him.

Although she is 75 years of age she is in quite good health and was a pleased and proud (participant in the celebration given in honor of her son. 212 Children Confirmed At three o'clock Sunday afternoon the sacrament of confirmation was con Final boundaries for a Fox river conservancy district were fi»ed by county judges from counties touched by the proposed district at. a meeting at Geneva Saturday afternoon and August 10 fixed as the date for an election to vote on the proposition. The district is comprised of 263 square miles lying along the two banks of the river and extends from the Wisconsin line south to the north line of La Salle county. An election has been called in the latter county to vote on a separate district The new Fox valley district will replace a similar one voted by property owners about two years ago. The former one was held invalid on legal technicalities at a hearing in the circuit court several months ago. The fundamental object of the district is to clean up the Fox river and keep it free from pollution. While it is authorized, under an enabling act, to levy a tax of one-half of 1 per cent to accomplish that purpose, its authority is practically limited to police power. Only a very small fraction of the tax authorized will be required to carry on the expense of operation. Will Patrol River It will be the duty of inspectors appointed by the district board to patrol the river, and determine sources of pollution. These may be cities and towns or private individuals and industrial plants. Where such pollution is found the offenders will be compelled to take whatever steps are necessary to abate it. While the public health of the community is an important consideration in a clean stream, leaders of the movement say, there is also an economical advantage. It can hardly be disputed, they say, that the natural beauty of the Fox valley is worth millions of dollars to its property owners, and that the preservation of the river is a community asset. In fixing the final boundaries Saturday, the county judges, sitting as a board of commissioners, lopped off much of the land included in the original district. Ih general, the line is about a half mile back from each, side of the river. Kane county had a larger area stricken off than any of the four other counties touched by the district. This was largely in lands of the prairie type, lying far enough from CONG. RATHBONE DIES IN CITY HOSPITAL Was Nominee For Re-election In November and Had Served as Con- ) * greesman-at-Large Since 1922 . Henry R. Rathbone, Illinois c6ngresaman- at-large, and Republican nominee for re-election in the November election, died Sunday at the Presbyterian hospital following an operation far acute bladder trouble. Mr. Rathbone was 57 years old. Mr. Rathbone entered the hospital ten days ago few observation and treatment for the aihnent with which he had suffered for more than two years. Dr. Herman L. Kretschmer said that*after the operation his patient appeared to be doing nicely and apparently was out of danger. But Sunday morning Mr. Rath bone's condition suddenly became serious. An interne on duty in his room summoned his wife, Mrs. Laura Harney Rathbone, who had occupied a room across the corridor from her husband during his illness. He died a few moments after Mrs. Rathbone readied his bedside. Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormkk and Mr. Rathbone were the successful Republican candidates for congressmanat- large in the primary last April. Some observers expressed the belief that Congressman Richard Yates, who ran third in the primary for renomination as congressman-at-large, would perhaps succeed Mr. Rathbone on the ticket. The decision as to a successor rests with the Republican state committee. Mr. Rathbone had been a member of congress continuously since 1922. He was a former president of the Hamilton club and of the Lawyers', association of Illinois. He was considered a trial lawyer of ability. Mr. Rathbone had many staunch friends in and around McHenry, who will be grieved to learn of his untimely death. MRS. W. A. STEWART DIES AT GENOA CITY Mrs. W. A. Stewart, third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Anton Krumpen of Genoa City, and formerly of McHenry, passed away at a hospital at Whitewater, Wis., on Saturday, July 7, after a short illness.

J. Schaffer house on .. Main street. Dr. Hess, who is a state stream that no pollution would result, veterinary, moved here from St. Louis, and not susceptible to subdivision. It amounted to about sixty square miles in all. Reduction In Kendall County Kendall county underwent a cut of almost half of the original area, embracing at the conclusion a narrow strip of land on each side of the stream. Most of the land between the river and Route 18 is in the district. A few sections were lopped off in the neighborhood of Cary and Algonquin in McHenry county, and about twenty square miles of farm larvds on the eastern side of the river were excluded in Lake county. The board of commissioners was made up of Judge Harry C. Daniels, Kane; Judge Arthur G. Larson, Kendall; Judge Charles T. Allen, McHenry; Judge Perry L. Persons, Lake; and Judge Jarecki, Cook. The latter was unable to attend the meeting Saturday. The board entered the order late Saturday afternoon confirming the boundaries and setting the date for the special election. In this election only those citizens in the area of the proposed district will vote. Surprise for M. A. Conway M. A. Conway was pleasantly sur prised last Thursday when a number of his friends called to remind him of ferred upon 127 children by the Rt. [ jjjs birthday anniversary. A very de- Rev.

St Patrick's church by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Edward F. Hoban, assisted by Father Kearney of Hartland as deacon, Father D.

The services were most impressive as the girls attired in white dresses and wearing veils held in place by wreaths and the boys in their black suits, each accompanied by their sponsor, went through the ceremony in a perfect manner. Much credit is due the pastor of St. Patrick's church, Rev. Wm. O'Rourke for the training of the children who knew their parts so well and who have been strengthened in their faith by the lessons they have learned.
