ffiftfFF MODES UBff ZURICH CASE SES FOE WANT OF EQUITY Who* Way Per NewSuit •ml State <rf Illinois Eaters *• .». » In Cfcse Judge E. D. Shurtleff rendered his decision Friday in the famous case of Leonard et al vs. Pearce et al, which was tried before him is the circuit -court at Woodstock. . Although the case 'was tried a< Woodstock, it is a Lake county matter, concerning the ownership and the use of the water* of Lake Zurich, a small lake located on the Rand road in Lake county. The controversy is over the right of Tesidents and adjacent property owners to use the lake, as against the objections of persons claiming to own -ike lake through original patents issued to them by the government. Judge Shurtleff's decision is in favor of the people who claim they own the lake, providing, however, that the case is one to be determined by an action brought by the State of Illinois, Mid not by owners of adjacent property. Important Decision The decision is very lengthy, covering eighteen typwritten page's. It •goes into the whole subject very fully and analyses the entire situation very „ completely. The judge holds that the matter Tests entirely on the question whether the lake is navigable or not. Quoting from the decision on this subject the Cotirt says in part: "Natural bodies of water are classed as navigable or non-navigable. The term 'navigable,' as* used in this connection, has been extended beyond its technical signfication, and embraces many bodies of water not navigable in the ordinary sense of that term. The division of waters into navigable and non-navigable is but another way of dividing them into public and private -waters and navigable waters embrace all bodies of water public in their nature. It; is not necessary that the water. should-' be capable of commerce of pecuniary value. If a body of water Is adapted to use for public purposes o&er than commercial navigation, it Is "held to be public water, or navigable water if the old nomenclature is preferred. Boating for pleasue is considered navigation, as well as boat* tog for pecuniary profit." Is Lake Navigable? ^udge Shurtleff then holds that the ^pbstion is one of fact, whether tt»e waters of the lake are navigable or not. If they are tl^en the title to the lake lies in the state of Illinois, and no patent or deed from the government will hold against it. But this is a matter to be determined not by litigation between individuals, but in a suit brought in the name of the State of Illinois against the persons -who claim ownership under the patent issued by the government PICTURE EXHIBIT > AT GRADE SCHOOL ExUUtks To Be Held ea Afternoons of Feb. 2 to «--Special Programs Wedneaday-Thursiay Nlgfcta McHenry Public Grade School children are scouting the town to sell tickets ?er the Picture Exhibit to be in the Kindergarten Room from Feb. 2 to 6, inclusive.

Hansen was at the The decision dismisses the present P°int of death for months following ease for want of equity, but suggests that a proper proceeding would be for the State's Attorney of Lake county or the Attorney General of Illinois to bring suit in behalf, of the people to determine whether th^ lake is public property or not.

McHenry County Sets Record In Use of Soap If one is to judge by the amount of money spent for soap, McHenry county should be the cleanest county in the whole United States. When the fees and salaries conjmrittee met with the auditor in the court house Tuesday to review the annual report of the auditor it was learned that a total amount of $6,799.04 was spent for soap and disinfectants at the court house during the last four years. Considerable talk and much publicity had resulted over the bill presented at the last meeting of the board of supervisors, which amounted to $658.23. Now when the auditor gets busy it is discovered that the four-year expense for cleanliness at the county building is staggering. One large Chicago daily carried a lengthy* story a few days ago, covering the McHenry countyv soap question, so by this time the whole county probably knows that we are at least trying to keep the county clean. Captain Degree Staff--Mrs. Magda lena Bohr. At the close of the installation the oracle,. Mrs. Marshall, presented the installing officer and ceremonial marshal with gifts from the camp with an appropriate presentation speech and also presented her mother, the installing officer, Mrs. Agness Wentworth, with a personal gift.

Miss Mildred Minnich went to Elgin Friday evening, where she played an accompaniment for Margaret Herrold at a Legion Auxiliary program. Edward Hayes. Past Department Com Blander of Illinois. Speaker of # the Evening One of . the best meetings of the McHenry County Legion was held in this city last Thursday evening when over 300 Legionnaires were present, including Edward Hayes, past department commander of the Illinois Legion, who was the speaker of the evening. McHehry county Legionnaires have sort of adopted "Ed" and claim him as their own. One year ago Hayes spoke at a similar meeting in McHenry, which many hail as the turning point in the success of the McHenry County Legion. Commander Hayes rambled here and there in his talk. He mentioned child welfare; Americanism; comradship; national defense, organization and then finished with his pet subject, rehabilitation. Members who listened to Hayes' story in connection with his work as chairman of the rehabilitation committee of the department are aware of the vast amount of work bring done by the service department of the Legion. Best of AM Hayes stated openly that the McHenry County Legion organization was the best of its kind he has ever contacted. He said that if other counties in the state were organized like McHenry county there would be no hard job for the Legion to go down to Washington and demand the proper care and treatment for disabled exservice men. Ex-service men throughout the land are grateful that the world war gave to them the American Legion. However, the Legionnaires of Illinois are greateful that the American Legion gave to them Ed. Hayes. The committee reports showed much progress. At present six of the ten posts in the county are 100 per cent in membership. The total membership reported is 630. This is only sixtytwo short of last year's mark. Union Seeks Poet Several Legionnaires from Union appeared Thursday night ana asked to be given back thgir charter which they lost several years ago. The request was granted and McHenry county will soon have eleven posts instead of ten. Union has some twenty members and promises one of the most active posts in the county. Frank Love of Richmond will soon have a detailed report to make on school awards. Practically every school in the county has sanctioned the movement of the county Legion and a real school award program is in store. The C. M. T. C. committee is working hard and as usual the county expects to have its quota. Harry Patrick, chairman of the Americanism committee, made a fine report and recommended a program by the Legion on Naturalisation Day in the circuit court. The recommendation was approved. Tom Bolger, chairman of the county advisory committee, offered a resolution asking the county Legion to go on record against the bringing into the various posts any political questions or for any posts to recommend the appointments for various offices or jobs. In brief the resolution is to keep politics of any nature from Legion meetings. The resolution was adopted unanimously. Commander John L. McCabe introduced a large number of visiting Legionnaires, including past district commanders Arnold Benson of Batavia, Jack Nelson of Rochelle; present District Commanders Otis Cushing of Hinsdale; Chas. Kapschull of Deerfield, and Bill Runnells of De- Kalb; Julius Silverman, state C. M. T. C. chairman; Paul Traub, Legion service officer at the Elgin state hospital; and a number of members of the Elgin Legion post. It is with much pleasure the large gathering witnessed the presentation of the trophy given by Commander McCabe to the post reaching 100 per cent in membership first in 1931. The trophy was won by Commander Bill Employment--Full, part timeVor want job? Have you had your discharge recorded ? Have you applied for adjusted compensation? If not an ex-service man, give your name, wife's name, children or other members of family. Americanzation -- National born, naturalized through parents or personally naturalized? These are questions anyone can answer. They will not be a hardship for anyone and will help the Legionnaires in their efforts- to assist the disabled veterans. Father Joe Lonergan of Woodstock is the county chairman. The committee from the McHenry Post will have charge of the census in three McHenry precincts and one in Nunda. Ray McGee is the township chairman and the folowing captains will assist: , In Nunda Robert Knox will act.
