SPONSOR DANCE AT NELL WQs PAVILION, OCT. 12 Receiving bids on new water pump constituted the lhain order of business as the city council of McHenry met on Monday evening at the city hall, Atf reported in these columns previously, the city is now amply supplied with water flow since the installation of a new gravel-packed well. The next step is to secure and install a pump that will boost that water into the mains. Four bids' were received and explanations given by representatives of the firms submitting bids. A representative of Engineer Kasser's office, of Elgin, was, present to assist the council in reviewing the proposals and it was decided-to have them checked in Mr. Kasser's office before a decision is reached on the purchase. The local Knights of Columbus are sponsoring a dance next Wednesday evening, at Nell's Pavilion irt Johnsburg, for the very worthy purpose of swelling a fund established to furnish a room at the new St. Mary's - St. Patrick's school. A similar dance was held last spring and such pleasing results were obtained, both from a social and financial standpoint, that it was decided to put on a bigger and better dance at this time as a Columbus Day celebration. Reports on the advance sale of tickets indicate that both old and young will be on hand to enjoy their favorite tunes and have a good time in general. : The Knights of Columbus wish to stress the point that this is a public dance and a good time is planned for everybody who cares to join in the fan. .
