LEE MCDONOUGH DIES . \ ~ AT WAUKEGAN Lee WcDonough, former state representative and one-time treasurer of Lake county, was found dead outside the garage in the rear of his Waukegan home Monday. His heart had evidently failed from his efforts to crank the family car. , He was found by !»ls son, Willard. Mr. McDonough had gone to the assistance of his wife and another son, Marshall, who had difficulty starting the car before their departure on a trip to Wisconsin. Failing to crank the machine, he put th'em in a second car, apparently collapsing after they left- Although active in politics for thirty- five years, it was not until 1914 that he sought an office for himself, being elected county treasurer. With the death of Representative W. F. Weiss, MicDonough was elected to the legislature in 1929, and failed of elec tion the next term. He was born in Memphis, Tenn., November 10, 1867. He had been a resident of Waukeean for forty-three years. He was prominent in fraternal circles, being a member of the Miasms and Elks.

KEG FOR $20,18? b <%r V ' " ... ,^.u; The work of dredging the Fox river |> from the dam to Burton's bridge is under way and will be In full swing next week, the contract for the work having been awarded to Julius Keg for $20,187 by tha state of Illinois waterways department- Mr Keg has sublet certain parts of the work to A. P. Freund of Mc Henry and Ray Preganzer of Grass Lake, th§ latter bringing ifiSfc .dredge up the river from Cary, &a<S Is already at work. .. The length of the channel to be • , dredged is about 13,300 feet in length and will be about fifty week wide at; the bottom with the sidesi flaring to aj R'* greater width at the top. The depth of the channel will be four feet deeper; than the lowest water level of the river, which was registered by the gauge at the McHanry dam during the drouth of the season of 1931. The material to be dredged amounts!' to approximately 67,000 cubic yards5 with five cubic/, yards excavated for*; every foot length of the channel. Ac« cording to the contract, work was to be commenced by June 20 and completed not later than October 1 of this year. The dredge and machinery owned -by Mr. Keg is so large that it will tiot go through the lock at the dam, 8o the owner is now working on a channel around the west end of the dam to get his machinery below the dam ready to start work next week. This channel will be about 22 feet wide with an excavation of from two to six feet in depth and the machinery will go through by means of a lock system, a dike being (built to hold the river back, then opened to send the big dredge through the chan. nel and another dike closed to again hold the river back. Mr. Keg expects to be through the channel by the first of next week. Work an reinforcing the levee above the dam is also under way, making it stronger and more secure. The first part of this dike was built on the Bolger property, west of the river, as much as twelve or thirteen years ago and was about 1,200 feet long. This was lengthened out about eight or nine years ago by another 500 feet of diko and last year the levee was rebuilt and connected so that now there is a wall about 1,700 feet long, extending along the low land west of the river on the Bolger and Kennebeck farms. During the many years that this wall of dirt has kept the river back about one-third of its width has been washed away and this is now being replaced and the dike reinforced with sand and gravel which will not wash away as the dirt has done and will also keep the muskrats out and will make a beach along the wall. This dike extends about three feet above the water level and is about twelve feet wid© at tile top, widening at the bottom. The material that will be dredged from the river will be mostly gravel and clay and will be deposited on the marshy waste land along the river. Preganzer is starting work at Colby's point and the Keg outfit will be gin at the dam, with Freund assisting with his outfit somewhere in be tween. The rock fill just below Burton's bridge, which was the foundation for the old bridge, will also be removed in the contract. There is a great deal of money invested in the equipment owned by Mr. Keg for this work, with the dredge alone being valued at $35,000- The big hydraulic dredge or sand Fuckcr, has a Deisel engine by which the ma'.n unit is driven and which also gen»r ates electricity for power to operate the machinery while the big clam shell digs from the top down with a strength that overcomes all obstacles. It is estimated that about a dozen men will be employed on the job. Mr. Keg has just completed a job at Eagle Point resort at Pistakee lake, where the property was raised about three feet. The money to meet the expense of dredging the river will be obtained from an appropriation of $25,000, the feill- for which was introduced . by Rep. William Carroll.

Since the recent action of the Board of Supervisors regarding" the appropriation for the Home Bureau work in the county many inquiries have^ been circulating concerning the expenditure of the money in the past years. Many unfavorable criticisms arise I think due to the fact that they come from people who are ignorant of its accomplishments in years past and its activities at presents The Home Bureau had its beginning way back in the past war days when homes had gone through years of material and spiritual instability. The homes needed help, the homemakers needed council, the children needed the proper growth. A few far-seeing men, members of the Board of Supervisors, who believed in women and the work they could do set aside tV appropriation supplementing funds furnished by the University of Illinois in carrying on this work of buildiog up homes. This fund enabled the Home Burcaii to buy a car. No county-wide work can be efficiently carried out without its aid for there are no commercial means of travel which enable one to get to the four corners of our county. Through rain, snow, sleet or heat this little car traveled. Then the Home Adviser acted as war relief worker, taught the homemakers how to can in the most modern methods in order to conserve the produce on hand--wasting nothing She supplemented Red Cross work. There were no school nurses, no county nurses. She weighed and measured children by the hundred. Helped with hot school lunches, aided in building and planning water systems. She helped mothers plan their housework to have more play time with the children, more time to spend with- their husbands. t But these Items are all a bit of past history. The project that this money most recently is being used for is the 4-H club work for girls. I believe all people interested in the community, selfishly or unselfishly, whether favorably or unfavorably inclined toward the Home Bureau, will concede that there really is no finer work, 4-H work, in building the best type of future citizens. Its work is more far reaching than anyone knows or can state. But with the discontinuing of this appropriation 4-H work for girls which the Home Bureau sponsors has already been cut in half. Outside influences play such a major part in the life of young people today and the mothers cannot take a lone hand against it.
