The bills were read and in the discussion of the same the Anderson bill for engineer's service in connection with the sewer repairs received the most attention. Aid. Stoffel said that 4he Anderson company was hired by the city council and fired by the board of local improvements and he wondered how it .could be done. Aid. Knpx, seconded by Aid.

Bonslett and Kreutzer here had a little argument as to whether the committees should officiate individually or collectively. Aid. JCreutser having hired Mr. Merrick to do some grading, which Aid.

The affair was in ripened to discover the mistake and j the attorney for some of the objec the bills jumped from about $2 a quar-1 tors. Mr. Beller was perfectly will ter to about $23 with the next quar-' ing to arbitrate, but Mr. Wattles said ter running about $17. Naturally Mr. Walsh objected. The meters were changed and not much improvement wise noticed. Some time in the latter part of 1928 a new cubic foot meter was installed which by actual measurement by a 5-gallon standard can was 3 to 5 per cent fast on a reading and for the quarter ending the first part of February the meter showed $7.18, which for a good-sized family seems to be a little below the average. To clean up this matter the board arbitrated with Mr. Walsh at the rate of $7.18 per quarter for the past five quarters, winter and sum- •er alike, making the bill $35.90. Stoffel and North Clash ' Aid. Stoffel brought up the matter the $£,100 which is b«ing held by treasurer. Ho desired to know what provisions had been made to get this into the proper accounts and what proportion of the amount could be used. Mayor Frett called on Mr North, the auditor, who was in the audience. Aid. Stoffel could not understand Mr. North's explanations and said there were possibly some mistakes in Mr. North's report. Mr. North at once said possibly so, that he wae only human and it was barely H»nibic that there might lll " dence on Easter morning. 1 .. . , -- . . , The first perfect Easter this vicin- V* ™ture < an Easter.P**y and ity had seen in many a year occurred decorations m keeping with the seahnee wwoouulldd nnoott. sstiaanndu fi«orr aannyy aaasasreosas -! in 1925 when the ensembles came to ^ enter*taeinrtm ent f1o r .tfh e e4v enuirnngis aen d thee ment on sopne of the lots, that he had | • . . _ _ , first prize was won by Miss Hilda split enough and if the sewer could; *^ h JL- Uat SStlr Ma> - the sec°nd by Miss Calla Vasey not have been put in four years aeojbut year bete. ^ l^r was ^eal and y'the third prize was awarded to when he wanted it put down the mid- "0^ds'^* Miss Ida Reynolds.

Knox Will Again the Mayoralty Race--Defeated Two Years Ago With the election of supervisor for McHenry township on Tuesday, April 2, now over, interest in the impending city election two weeks later is already growing in intensity and city politics are rapdly stirring in McHenry as the last day for filing petitions is past. It was necessary for all candidates to file theSr petitions not later than Monday, April 1, and on this day the opening gun in the coming city election was fired when a .petition was circulated and filed on behalf of the candidacy of John R. Knox for mayor to oppose the present mayor, Peter Wm. Frett, who also filed for re-election. Mr. Knox was the alderman from the third ward until his resignation at the council meeting Monday night. Three Tickets In Field Three tickets will be in the field in the city election to 1>e held Tuesday, April 16. The Taxpayers ticket will have but one name on it, being that of John R. Knox for mayor. On the Citizens ticket there will appear the names of Peter Wm. Frett for mayor, Peter Doherty, alderman for the first ward, Herman Kreutzer, alderman for the second ward and Jacob Schaefer, alderman for the third ward. ' On the Independent ticket will be found the names of Robert Weber for treasurer, John McEvoy for police magistrate and Ray Conway for city clerk. Up until Monday evening it began to look as if Mr. Frett would have no oppbsition for mayor, but the taxpayers of McHenry held a meeting at the McHenry Pleasure club rooms (tj/inir the city council meeting Monflay evening and filed a petition for John R. Knox to run for mayor. Mr. Knox, when notified by telephone at the city board meeting, resigned his position as aldermaki from the third ward so that in case of his Election as mayor to allow his vacancy to be filled without having a special election. Mr. Knox's announcement appears in this issue of the Plaindealer. Mayor Frett says that he feels the work he has commenced is not yet finished and believes a portion of another term of office is necessary to complete the work he has started and other things that he has in view for the good of the city of McHenry. Conway a Candidate R. F. Conway will have no opposition for the office of city clerk. He has served very efficiently in that capacity for several years and his reelection will find approval among the citizens of the city. He says that he has been clerk for so many years that he wouldn't know what to do without the job and bo he is up for re-election. In the first ward, Peter J. Doherty will be returned without opposition, his name being found on the Citizens ticket. He would like to be re-elected as he has been on the city board for a long time and feels he would like to help complete the work now before the city council before he retires. j John McEvoy is the only candidate for the office of police magistrate and he says that if anyone crosses his path and arouses his Irish that he will certainly give them an interesting race. Weber For Treasurer According to law the present city treasurer, Gerald Carey, cannot succeed himself and consequently the name of Robert Weber has beeii filed for this position. Robert, who is a valued employee at the West McHenry State bank, says he doesn't know much about the political game and running for office but hopes that his friends will give him their support and vote for him at the coming election. His name will appear on the Independent ticket. It is evident that the third ward will have entirely new representation at the council table next year as Robert J. Frisby resigned some time ago when he moved out of the city limits and John R. Knox resigned Monday evening to run for mayor. According to present indications Jacob Schaefer will be one new face seen at the council table as he has filed his petition and his name will appear on the Citizens ticket for alflerman for the third ward to .fill Frisby's place. The resignation of John R. Knox went in so late that no one had time to file for his position asialderman for the third ward, and ft will be necessary for whoever becomes a candidate for this job to have his name written in by the voters. Herman Kreutzer has filed on the Citizens ticket for re-election. He has served very creditably on the board during his term of office. Thus it will be seen that the only fight for the city Jobs is between Mayor Frett and John R. Knox for mayor but this will, no doubt, stir up a great deal of interest throughout McHenry as election day draws near.
