Scoutmaster Schoenholtz is deeply interested in the Scout work and has ' done much towards promoting interest in the work since he reorganized the McHenry troop two years ago, which is steadily growing and pro- * gressing, with many of its members y---r^y receiving merit badges at every Court of Honor.

The completed arch, brilliantly illumined, was an impressive sight as it gleamed , forth from the center of the darkened stage, but it was made even more impressive and interesting as each Scout stood beneath it to receive his award and passed through the archway after having received it.

At' Idjetfrhed meeting council was called Friday evening, Nov. 13, with all officers responding to roll call. , The mayor addressed the board, explaining the necessity of the meeting and emphasising the Warning of the state man to improve the sewage disposal plant or suffer a penalty.. Aid. Wattles said he could not see why the state should pick on McHenry when up to the present time Algonquin has no sewage system whatsoever and summer cottages along the river, as well as Joiinrfnrrg 'subdSvialSon, iiave, no adequate disposal tanks. Mr. Ashley of the Wells Engineer*-, ing company said his Company was designing extensive plants at Geneva and St Charles, that Cary had hired an engineer and that Algonquin had been notified by the state that if they had not started their plans by Nov. 20 they would be called to Springfield and a penalty of $100 a day would be imposed until the plans were started. Mr. Ashley further stated that the McHenry plant at the present time was on a basis of 30 to 35 per cent purified and that they are now demanding further purification. Elgin is about 85 per cent pure. He expects that chlorination will be demanded at McHenry and that Mr. Ferguson of the state department is very much in favor of a sanitary district being- formed on both sides of th<j river from the Bay to be low the dam; that the expense of such a move on account of the length of the district, seemed prohibitive. Activated Sludge System. Genevans using an activated sludge system. Ir McHenry was to use thfo system all of present system could be used and there would be room at the present plant for all of the construction. There would be absolutely no odor to such a plant, neither would there be a mess of small flies such as come at the open type of purification beds. The state has adopted activated sludge systems and should not object to this plan for McHenry and while these plants are cheaper to install they must have daily inspection and possibly in a would bring the total cost to about the same figure as though the open beds were installed. Mayor Knox asked what could be done if plans were not made and how the state could collect fines from a city that was already heavily indebted. Mr. Ashley did not think that the construction could be forced within two years. He suggested that the city employ some engineering firm to make a preliminary report.; this would entail considerable drawings and estimates. He said their firm would make no charge for this work until such time as the city decided to go ahead en special assessment basis. At that time if the Wells Engineering company was not hired to spread the assessment and engineer the work they would make-a charge of $150 for the preliminary report, but if they were employed for the job there would be no additional charge for the preliminary work as the same drawings would be used. Employ Wells Company On motion by Doherty, seconded by Kreutser, the board voted to employ the Wells Engineering company in accordance with the above proposal. The city clerk is to notify the state board at once that the city has employed the Wells Engineering company to start the work. After considerable»discussion of the county treasurer's move in charging back to the special assessment funds, $110.90, which came about through the return of the purchase price of tax sale lot three years ago, it was moved by Doherty, seconded by Barbian, that the city attorney demand restitution from the county treasurer of the amount of $110.90. Auditor North was present and went into the matter of payment of public benefits on the various special assessments. They can pay $2500 at this time apportioned in this manner: assessment 9, $200; 16, $475; 11, $1,200; 18, -$425; and 21, $200; total $2,500; previously paid this year, $1,300; making a total of $3,800 paid thus far this year on public benefiU on various special assessments. The city clerk was instructed to renew city firemen insurance policy. Meeting closed at 11 o'clock.
