T^sday.July 16, 1889 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER McHenry Shores LOCAL PROPERTY OWNERS DISCUSS TAXES AT MEETING By Louise Winters Clare Mueller very interesting talk, to bring those who were not in attendance up to date on the special, meeting held last week at the V. F. W. clubhouse, on real estate taxes was presented by Mr. Doyle who is a local property/owner and lawyer. A lively discussion followed this talk with several good suggestions brought forth such as: as •individuals, protest for a fair revaluation of the assesed value; pay the taxes, as a group, under protest; organize a committee to work out a plan of action. The trustees were appointed as this committee. It was pointed out that protests can be lodged with the board of review anytime up to thirty days after publication of assessments have been sent ouf Upon inquiry, it was found that the people of McHenry Shores, a short mile from Mchenry, who live in Nunda tawnship, received no such no- Ite'es.

Sam arose on this particular morning and noticed something unusual at a department store across the street from the hotel, he immediately telephoned the . store to find out what it was all about and before he could get an answer, someone was up on the roof reversing the American Flag which had been hoisted upside down. To date no reports have come in that the brass noticed it. When Sam left the temperature was 108 degrees, not because of the flag incident, that's just normal out there.
