'• "i" uwim McHenry county may purchase a RectigYaph photo-copying machine in the near future. The county board last week voted to refer the proposition df purchase to the purchasing committtee with power to act. The copying machine has absolute accuracy in making photogenic copies, saves time, increases efficiency makes permanent records, makes improved records and most of all cutl recording costs. An item brought into - the picture in connection with the machine is the fact that in the near future many, of the old records now oh. record in the various offices of the court house will have to be copied over. With a photo-copying machine this could easily be done.. Many counties are buying photd? copying machines. They are not only a labor; saving machine, but also cuts down . the cost. It would probably eliminate one member of the staff in the local clerk's office and Mr. Edinger said getting efficient help these days is a big problem. The, machine costs $3,000 and it is expected, if purchased, it would p»y for itself in three years. Saft Custard A soft custard is don* when it coats a spoon.
