Evening The board of local improvements held a special meeting ZuOnday, April 29, at the city hall for the purpose of letting the contract lor the completion of the necessary sewer repairs and the installation of the new type <rf sewer lift pumps, to the John Ward Co., of Aurora. A portion of this work is already completed by this Company and it is expected to complete the work very shortly, the cost to be little less tha $10,000. ," The regular meeting of the city council was held Monday evening, May 6, with the mayor and all aldermen present. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The treasurer's report was acas read. The bills were read, tkere being objections to one or two of them. The salary of John Bonslet was held up until a compromise setlement of his water bill for the .last seven quarters could be brought About. It seems that at the start there was a large overreading of the meter and the bill had been let run for some time in order to let the consumption above the minimum offset the heavy overreading. The board apttled on the basis of $2 per quarter the past seven quarters. " The bill of Tony Freund for the hauling of dirt from the Spencer hill to the different locations about town dras questioned by Aid. Krause as to why the city should pay ten cents a yard for moving this dirt when so much of the pavement had been put in without any expense to the city lor the removal of dirt and in some «ases long dista ^es. fThe bills were paid as O. K'd by ttye finance committee. Must Enforce Ordinances Mayor Knox called Marshal Walsh to the table and most emphatically informed him that all', ordinances must be enforced, that he expected to hold him responsible for the enforcement of the same and that he was under no consideration to let up in the enforcement of all ordinances and regulations of the city on the advice o£ anyone, as the mayor expected to hold him personally responsible Mid that he wished him to assist in tlpe enforcement of the collection of dog and Vehicle licenses, also licenses of all plumjaers, idrug stores, gas stations, etc. The superintendent of waterworks' ---^IHport was read and placed on file. , Aid. Bonslet was asked as to how the licenses were coming in and some discussion was raised as to the proper amount of licenses. It was thought by some that the present schedule was sufficient, in view of the fact of the approaching gas tax, but the general opinion was that a new ordinance should be drawn, causing the license fees, to start with Jan., and that heavy tracks should pay a greater license than they are at present. The ttvayor said that some of the filling stations had paid while others had not and that either collect from all or pay back to those that had already paid, he, for one, wanted his returned if they were not going to collect from the rest. A motion by Krause, seconded by Schaefer was passed that the clerk >. was to issue complaints so that the justice could issue a summons to appear before the city board to the delinquent parties who had not paid their permits for constructing filling stations or paid the annual license for continuing to run. "The subject of the vehicle tax was discussed and Marshal Walsh was given a list of the delinquents and instructed to see that they are paid at once, and to pick up and fine all delinquent car owners if tax is not paid promptly. On the dog license a motion was by Kreutzer, seconded by Sehaefer, that the mashal be supplied with a list of delinquent dog owners ae that these fees may be collected at once. . The street and alley committee, with Kreutzer as chairman, reported that something had to be done at the foot of John street where it crosses the creek through the McHenry Country club. This bad place was •apposed to have been properly fixed by the Owen, Stenger & Allen syndicate before the city accepted the street. The old minutes were looked up and it was found that the syndicate was supposed to have put in a good culvert with sufficient grade, but the spring freshets have continued to wash the road out. It is now necessary to put in a larger culvert, six or eight feet wide and a three or four foot grade. Krause made a motion, seconded by Doherty, that the street and alley committee have full authority to take rare of the same. Culverts at the junction of highway No. 61 were discussed and shown that the water is backing up on adjoining property and that the state will not construct culverts within corporations and the city must take care of this location. This was also referred to the street and alley committee. " The defective sidewalks at Boone Creek bridge on Green street were discussed and as it was shown that the city was partly responsible for the condition of the walks, owing to the settling of the ground afttr the repairs of water mains were made, that the city would have to repair the walks. Bridge To Be Repaired A discussion as to the planking of Boone Creek brklge was held aft to whether oak planks should be used or yellow pine or fir and cover with an asphalt tar preparation similar to that used on the old river bridge. Mayor Knox called on Mr. Merrick for suggestions and he said that if the eye-beams were of sufficient depth the best way he knew of would be to floor up under the eye-beams and FOUR DROWN IN "MAKfE LAKE FIRST TRAGEDY OF THE SEASON MUSIC FESTIVAL --- IS GRAND SUCCESS Three* Men aad Boy Perish When Boat Overturns While oe Fishing Trip 4(7 Students of County Schools Take Part in Splendid Program Over one thousand interested lover3 of music gathered at the Community high school at Marengo Friday evening in attendance at the first annual County Music Festival, at which time 467 high school students took part in The first tragedy of the season and *he splendid program of the evening, and one of the worst in many years! 11,18 was ,ndeed one ereat festival to fill with concretef then with a pro-1 occurred at Pistakee Lake over the I musical organizations of the per coating on top and creosote blocks week-end, when four lives were lost various schools in the county uniting placed on top filled up with boiling tar would make almost an indestrucby drowning. Three men, John Gors of Mount tible surface, but as the bridge is Prospect, Kenneth Tadders and Edtoo narow and hardly strong enough, it was thought better ^to buy new plaakmg and to wait such time as the city could afford the extra expense of building a new bridge. The matter of the chipped and cracked sections of pavement in different parts of the city was discussed and some wanted to postpone the repairs until fall, others to fix immediately, but the ire of Aid. Doherty was aroused and he said, "If you're going to keep on fixing side streets you'll never have any money to fix pavements." Bonslett thought side streets must be fixed, but Doherty replied that the property owners had his permission to pave as the rest of us have. The extra filling that is piled up in a very unsightly, impassable road condition at the clay hole near the McHenry Lumber Co: yards was discussed and some of the 'aldermen were in favor of having it removed, but Mr. Merrick suggest&d. it be left there as each time the road was graded the grader cut in deeper and it would soon be worked down. There was much discussion as to the "stop and go" signs and tar for the joints in the pavement but no definite action was takgn. The water hydrant at the Hanly filling station that some car had run into and pushed over should be taken care of at once and was referred to the water and sewer department. Supt. of Waterworks Niesen report - ward Jorgenson of Chicago and Ro bert, the 8-year-old son of the latter, came out to Pistakee Bay Saturday, where they planned to enjoy a fishing party over the week-end and return to their homes Sunday night. The quartet left their Chevrolet car near the Oak Park hotel on Pistakee Bay, where they rented a motor boat for their fishing trip. The wind was very strong on Saturday and the men wepe warned by the owner of the boat to stay near shore as Pistakee Lake in one big effort of combined goodwill and musical talent. The schools represented were: McHenry, Crystal Lake, Woodstock, Harvard, Hebron, Huntley, Marengo and Richmond. To endeavor to describe this wonderful concert would be impossible. The largest group composed the mixed chorus which consisted of 182 NOBBY STYLE SHOP SCENE 01 ROBBERY THIEVES ENTER STORE THURSDAY NIGHT Over 12,000 Worth of Goods Stolen ,, and Crooks Make Clean r;/.

And, furthermore any time that anyone didn't attend to the just demands of the city that harsher action would be taken sofa huge 400-foot seine was brought from Fox Lake and starting at the channel near Fox Lake Tuesday forenoon the entire distance across Pistakee Lake, about a half mile, was dragged and the four bodies were brought to the shore at Bald Knob about 7 o'clock Tuesday night.

Aid. Schaefer, as chairman of his committee, reported that he thought the city hall needed a thorough house cleaning and because of the several complaints of things disappearing and damage to. property by careless tourists and the several rest rooms in the city now open, it would be a very good idea to take "own the tourist comfort station ' sign and have the marshal keep the city hall locked and the place should have a thorough cleaning and be suitably painted. "Too Many Commitees** Aid. Stoffel, chairman of the ordinance commitce, reported there seemed to be too many committees for six men to fill and upon inquiry he had found that larger municipalities were getting along nicely with only three or four committees, and in their grief and agony of suspense, and collapsed when the bodies were finally drawn up onto the shore.
