OF 50c PER FARM Assessors of the various townships in the county assembled on Tuesday for the purpose of trying to work out a uniform price for the taking of agricultural census this year. The assessors sought the cooperation of the board of supervisors in their plau by sending a committee consisting of Assessors E. C. Kappler of Woodstock, Charles Schroeder of Crystal Lake and John T. Kitchen of Marengo to meet with the board. The committee did not fare so well due to the fact that a number of the townships have already made agreements with their assessors as to the amount of money they are to receive for this work. The amounts varied somewhat making it almost impossible for the board to agree on any uniform price. $1 Per Farm Asked In presenting the matter to the board Mr. Kitchen said he thought assessors should get at least $1 per farm for the work. Some thirty Questions appear on the questionnaire which each assessor has to fill out for each farmer in his township. Supervisor Charles Ackman of Coral said the Coral town board had agreed on a flat price of |75 for the work in his township. Supervisor N. B. Clawson of Alden said a fait price of $50 had been agreed on for the census work in Alden township. Supervisor Frank Ferris of Grafton said a price of |100 had been agreed on in his township. Supervisor Frank May said $50 had been levied for the work in Burton township and 9200 has been levied in Dorr township for the work according to supervisor R. J. Stewart - A motion was made to make the uniform price $1 per farm but the motion was defeated by a vote of 10 to 8 with Supervisors Wright, Clawson, Carroll, Kuecker, Ackman, Ferris, Stevens, May, Turner, Freund voting against Recommend 61 Cents A compromise motion of 50 cents per farm was made. This motion passed 14 to 4 with Supervisors Harrison, Stewart, Rosenthal and McConnell voting against. The matter is now up to the townships as the motion for 50 cents compensation is merely a recommendation and the townships will not be bound in any way to stick to this fee. Assessor Kitchen brought out the fact that it takes considerable time to fill out one of the census blanks due to the fact there are so many questions and that farmers are not familiar with many of the quesions aaked. The agricultural census was to have been taken last year but the fact no levies had been made by the town boards to take care of the cost caused the delay of one year. Assessors are paid at the rate of $5 per day for making assessments. Mr. Kitchen stated that it takes longer to fill put a farm census blank than to tax personal property ou a McHENRY HIGH'S MIXED CHORUS ST. MART'S CHURCH SCENE OF BEAUTIFUL WEDDING WEDNESDAY In the beautifully decorated St Mary's church, the marriage of Miss Isabelle Blake, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Blake of McHenry, to Mr. Arnold May, son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter May of Spring Grove, was celebrated Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock, Msgr.

A bulletin from the state highway has the following to say on the relocation of U. S. 12 and U. S. 14. \ • "Relocation of U. S. 12 beginning at; the junction with Illinois 60 south of Richmond over Illinois 60, U. S. 45, and 95th street to U. S. 41 at Avenue L, eliminating all of Illinois 60.

The cost per vote in McHenry county is always much smaller than in other•• counties around here which sometimes run as high as 50 cents per vote. It would not have cost the county any more money had there been several thousand more votes cast on April 12 because it is necessary to print ballots enough to take care of a large vote and also there has to be the same number of judges and clerks to handle a dosen votes in a precinct as there are to handle 800. Polling places have to be rented whether there are ten or 800 votes In a precinct falling on April 12. Last year it was very cold.

Principal Ewing stated that Winterringer was discharged because he refused to - co-operate with school officials, caused friction between himself f and other members of the faculty, and was unduly social with the stadent body. „' BASEMENT OPENING DINNER The Methodist Ladies will sponsor a dinner Thursday evening, Apr. 28, m the new church basement.

The city council, which furnished three trucks and nine men, should be complimented for their co-operation, especially Alderman Joseph Regner in charge of public property, who was very active personally. Mr. Duker also devoted a great deal of time to this enterprise. He arranged to get boys from the various schools to assist the men on the trucks.
