LOW - UOKNSB -ti&menry county' pervisors set a three way scale of fees to be charged for the selling of beer outside corporation limits in the county. F'ees of $S5, $25 and $15 will be charged. Class A will include the selling of draught and bottle beer. The fee for this class will be $35. Class B will toe for the sale of bottle beer to be consumed on premises. This class fee will be $25. The third class will be for the sale of bottle beer not to be drunk on, premises.. This tee will be $15. The above recommendation was irade by the recently appointed license committee of iwhi,ch J. G. Stevens of Richmond is chairman. The board voted unanimous on the proposition. Lnmley Talks In speaking on the amount of Ihe license fee State's Attorney V. S. Lnmley suggested" the fee bci" made small and not more than $50. He said high license fees only go to mnke more bootleggers. He said the" purpose of ihe legislation ,whica per mits the sale of 3.2 beer is for the purpose of raising revenue. For this reason State's Attorney Lumley believes* the more places selling the more revenue the' government will make. To ftut a high license fee would only serve to make bootleggers according to Mr. Luililey. He said that would cause more work for the state's attorney, sheriff ond eourts and the • government would not get the revenue anticipated from the legislation. in McHenry , * ' MCHETEYBXHK TAKES OVF.E MNGWOOD BAITS The Ringwood State Bank has be*n taken ove* by the West McHenry State Bank and the deposits have been transferred to the local bank."

Phone your order to CHttDBEH'S DAY AT M. E. CHURCH The total indebtedness of the city of McHenry at the close of the fiscal year on April 30, 1933, amounts to 134,439.73, plus interest, according to the annual report of Auditor North, read at the last meeting of the city council. The scope of the audit was complete as to detail examination of all receipts and disbursements, covering payments on accounts due for special assessments, cash payment and supporting data. -- General fund expenditures were covered by invoices and proper recordsin the minutes of the council meetings and cancelled bonds and coupons were examined in both the general fund and the special assessment fund. The items of indebtedness, not including interest, are: Bonds, $3,000.00 public benefits,.$18,691.16; judgments, $12,748.57; making a total of $34, 439.73. The report of Auditor North is clear and concise, as usual giving i teres^ng statements of the condition of the finances of McHenry and is worth much more to the city than the nominal cost of its prepaAtion. The mayor and aldermen of the city council are to be commended for conducting the affairs of this municipality on the strictly business basi3 which the auditor's report shows and which indicates the careful adherence to the appropriations. The general fund was summarized in the report as follows: Receipts general taxes, $8,498.81; road and bridge, $2,700.55; vehicle tax* $1,507.- 00; water rents, $6,041-63; other items $750.62, making a total of $19,498.61. Expenditures were $20,518.72, less payments on judgments, $4,275.00; making a total of $16,243.72. The net decrease in deficit was $3,254.89, making the balance on April *33 a deficit of $1861.86. Auditor North states that continued effort on the part of the council during the coming year, during which payments on the judgments will undoubtedly be made, will result in thft entire elimination of the general fund deficit within a period of one year. Following reductions in liabilities for the three years are significant evidence of the effort put forth: Payments 1933, principal, $4,275 00; and 1932, principal, $5,972.65, interest, $1,577.35; 1931, principal, $10,322.95, interest, $2 ,656.95. making a total reduction of $20,570.60 and interest $4,234.30. Receipts Decrease In reviewing the receipts it is noted that decreases are Shown in every item with the exception of the road and bridge tax, where an increase appears. The decrease in the receipts of the various departments since last year are: General taxes, decrease of $1,222^12; vehicle, $314.75; water rents, $2,062.90; other items, $331.19r making a total decrease of $2,945.98. In the comparison of expenditures with those of last year increases are noted in waterworks, bonds, judgments, sewer maintenance and loss and cost of collecting taxes. A total decrease of $2,653.92 is shown in the expenditures over 1932. The increase in the various departments is accounted for by Mr. North as follows: Increase in water works expense by the change in the distribution on salaries effected during the year. Judgments Reduced > judgments were reduced in a larger degree in 1932, due to the financial situation prevailing at that time. This increase is in part a reason for the decrease in public benefits. The sewer mantenance increase results from the change in distribution of salary items. Provision for payment of public benefits levied will undoubtedly be necessary during the coming year, and from present indications, says the auditor, some means of raising funds by the issuing of bonds will be required- No present income is indicated in sufficient ambunts as to warrant any large payments such as will be required. In one schedule Mr. North notes the distribution of the various expenditures by appropriations and findfc 60 per cent of the streets and alleys expense is for lighting. Water works salaries represent more than 60 per cent of the expense of operating in this department and approximately 25 per cent is expended for power. The expense® in this department represent approximately 43 per cent of the revenue. The amount collected for band purposes has been reduced $165.47. -This reduction is due to the reduced valuations and the loss in collecting taxes, due to delinquencies. The sapie decrease may be expected this yf^S. (Continued on pace Children's Day will he observed at the' M. E. Church this Sunday morning at 10 a. m.

Barnes at Woodstock last Saturday afternoon, by wheeling him around the square during the busy Saturday afternoon hour Mr. McDermott bet the judge that Charles Carpenter would be elected circuit judge at the judicial election on June 5, which failed to happen. Judge Barnes furnished a decorated wheelbarrow and a little German band to make the show a spectacular one. Although the local attorney endeavored to talk the judge out of holding him to his bet, he was game and carried out all the provisions. And, by the way, there was another bet between the two, which "Mac" won and now the former judge has to pay for all the haircuts and shaves which Mac needs for several weeks to come.
