CUMTOH MAKTIH TO REHtKSEHT AHA OH COUNTY TA1S BOARD Clinton Martin was elected as, McHenry's director on ths new permanent board of the McHenry Qounty Ffcir Association at a meeting held last Friday evening in Woodstock. A director was selected for every township in the county, each to serve for one year. Jack Ward, who has 1»een with the State Fair Association for ths past eight years, was Introduced and he explained in length how ths stats assists with county falrs^ As to ths financial problem, he stated that* for every $6,000 expended on a local fair, the state will reimburse that group with $4,000 or sixty-six and two-thirds per cent; above that the state reimburses a full 50 per cent. Among specific rules set down Is one which states that first of all a county fair must be open to evecyone. not only to one particular group, such as 4-H msmbers. H$ stated that ths average length of such fairs was three days and that while some counties extended theirs, it was his opinion that ths more concentrated programs were more successful. The average admission is fifty cents for adults and twenty-five cents for children, he said, with special prices for season tickets and for lifetime memberships. He added that a good fair should have at least four divisions of beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep and swine. Poultry entries should be confined to persons living in the county in order to keep down special rackets [that have developed in that di- | vision. Mr. Ward warned that a fair will be no better than the poorest superintendent and urged the board to secure men in each division who are experts in a particular line.

McHenry county and the municipality of McHenry received $150,- 03$ In allotments from Illinois state gasoline taxes in 1948, compared with $133,468 in 1947, according to a statistical analysis prepared by Barcus, Kindred ft Company of Chicago, specialists in Illinois municipal bonds. This was an increase of $16,569. Qas tax allotntgjrtpaymentsloall Illinois counties'MNrtewns pitched a record peak in 1948. Statewide distributions totaled $30,384,862, compared with $27,334,374 in 1947, the previous high year. This was a gain of $3,050,498. McHenry county's share of the 1948 allotments distributed locally by the state was $134,342, a gain of $14,- 916. Discussing {he outlook for 1949, a statement by Barcus, Kindred & Company says: "Revenues to Illinois counties and towns from allotjment payments should show further i increases during 1949, if the present j rate of gain in car usage and new car registrations continues. Such funds would be further augmented if the proposal to increase gas taxes from three to five cents per gallon becomes law. Money received from allotments is an important revenue source to communities receiving it. It helps pay the cost of street and highway repairs." J, 1949 PRIVATE CLUBS TO BE AFFECTED BT SUPERVISOR RULING A secret baUot vote of 13 to 5 by the county board of supervisors last week increased the liquor license fee for private clubs in the county, outside the corporate limits or cities and villages, from $200 per year to $500. member did hot vote. Supervisor Harley MacKeben of Grafton township was the first to bring the matter before the board as a member of the license committee. It was his opinion that clubs and taverns should have a« uniform license fee. He was supported in his contention by Mc- Henrys' supervisor, Math N. Schmitt, who stated that he thought it was an injustice for taverns to pay $500 and private clubs $200. Taking the opposite stand was Supervisor A. M. Maxwell, who said he believed the club fee was large enough because most of the private clubs operated only a few months out of the yesr. Following the vote by secret ballot, a motion was made for the clerk to cast a unamimous vote, of the board to amend the county liquor ordinance so as to change the fee for clubs from $200 to $100. Amoung about ten clubs in the county to be affected by the new order are three in this community, the McHenry V. F. W. the Pistakse Golf and dun club and the Plstakee Yacht club. «U AMWUtCDtS •UURED N (HASH ESCAPED CONVICT .

The capture of Clarence LeRoy Gilbert, 22, who had escaped from the Waupun prison on Feb. SS, ended his latest crime spree which covered four days, ending In the local store.

The accident occurred five miles west of Elgin, Just off Rt. 20. in a head-on collision of a Ford station wagon and a Buick convertible about 10 o'clock. The county men were Thomas King. 23. and Jack Randolph. 27, of Woodstock, and Gerald Higglns, 18, of Harvard. The three were enroute home from Elgin, where they had broadcast the thrilling basketball tournament. King suffered a fractured skull, broken jaw in five places and several head laceratjons. This week Wednesday he was reported to be some improved but was still only semi-conscious.

He told Ballowe that he owneg a garage In Waukegan and w4# enroute there, whereupon he would send back tow truck to take his car home. He intended to buy a new pair of shoes before taking the bus home, he added. • Tip To Police After watching him enter the McGee store, Ballowe immediate}? notified Bacon of his suspicions and suggested that failure to re- Port his accident might be a pretext to find out who the man really was. Chief Bacon entered McGee's and which turned out to be a IS dark green Buick sedan, was turnsd over to the chief of police in Lake Forest, Frank Tiffany, who returned it to the rightful owner, Gilbert Rayer, real ^estate agent.
