On the other hand, it -served to intensify what was sulleness toward definite antagonism. -- ^Republicans and Democrats are in agreement that it was simply a he^d- • • -'line--hunting trip intended to place the reading public. "" £ It is hoped that the settlement of the tax bill controversy will effectively stabilize government currency. The Internal Revenue measure is calculated to balance the budget. The black spot now on the nation'* financial horizon is the character of public • financing required to meet the ex- ' penses of relief projects. The Treasury must raise the funds by Tjorrowing and not directly from taxation which adds a problem in these * -days of tight money. There are strong under-cover con- ' *• - versations among business ahd financial leaders creeping into official Washington. The purport of these . talks, it appears, is the creation of mi Economic Council, which would set up a form of dictatorship during the * .present crisis. It would be an . adaptation of the Council of National ' Defense which • came into existence ' during a wartime emergency. It is service . 225.00 Peter A.

RESOLUTION OF CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF McHENRY, DESIGNATING DEPOSITORY FOR TREASURER OF THE CITY" OF McHENRY. State of Illinois, / County of McHenry, ss. Whereas, Gerald Carey, treasurer of the City of McHenry, in and for said county, has pursuant to the terms of an Act of the General Assembly of the State of Illinois adopted and now in full force and effect, requested the City Council of the City of McHenry, to designate the bank or banks 6r other depository in which the funds and other public moneys in his custody aa Treasurer of the city of McHenry may be deposited, Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of ° McHenry, McHenry County, Illinois, that the West McHenry State Bank, West McHenry, Illinois, is hereby designated depository in which the funds and other public moneys in the custody of Gerald Carey, as Treasurer of the City of McHenry, may be deposited; and Be it further resolved, that no bank herein designated as a depository shall be qualified to receive such funds or moneys until it has furnished the City Council of the City of McHenry with copies of the last two sworn statements of resources and liabilities which such bank is required to furnish to the Auditor of Public Accounts or to the Comptroller of Currency; and Be it further resolved, that each bank designated as a depository for such funds or moneys shall furnish th? City Council of the City of McHenry with a copy of all, bank statements which it is required to furnish to the Auditor of Public Accounts, or to the Comptroller of currency, while acting as such depository; and Be it further resolved, that if sueh funds or moneys are deposited in a participated as Food Administrator, is adverse to the current proposals. It is a measure which may be forced unless the legislative acts passed by ' the Congress bring the desired changes. The failure of the Senate and House to accept proposals for a manufacturers' excise tax has been disappointing to business groups. The opinion is growing that the special taxes imposed on industries and varied classes of citizens will result in nation-wide dissatisfaction against the taxation ..system. It is the belief of the proponents of the plan that the manufacturers' tax will eventually be substituted for the present haphazard ---scheme. The principal objection to the general tax plan has arisen among labor unions and farm groups. If the taxation method no\^ authorized by Congress .is as discriminatory as alleged in debates here, the farmerlabor groups are expected to about face- Treasury officials have in- --^-sisted that with a fixed percentage of manufactured goods which could not be pyramided, it would be easy to estimate revenues by simply broadening the base, that is lowering or raising the percentage of tax on each article produced. The gathering of the "bonus army" "here is riveting public attention on the effects of unemployment. Yet, the * visit is not stimulating Congressional action an bonus legislation. The sentiment, at the Capitol is that the nation's finances do not permit the expenditure of hundreds of millions to veterans at this time. It is ' an agitation that was destined for futility. Many visitors could not actually qualify as war service men bat ctane for the exci£entejnt. •> AN ORDINANCE MAKING THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATION FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY.OF McHENRY, ILLINOIS: Section 1.

It still lives as it used to live four centuries ago. Its narrow houses, with weird step-like roofs, are built along canals whose water flows slowly and dreamily. Old women in white coifs sit near the porches weaving thin lace.
