The present salary of State's Attorney A H. Pouse is $3,900 per year. If the new bill becomes a law it will mean an increase to $4,500 per year The road from Lily Lake to Pistakee is nearing completion A P Freund of the McHenry Gravel and Excavating Co., is in charge of the work. Mr. Freund has his Wilford gas shovel on the job and reports that the men are hauling more than 200 loads of gravel per day. This road is a short cut from the Rand road to Pistaqua Heights properties. John Blackwell, whose ad­ dress is so far unknown, was found dead about 30 feet north of the main crossing of the C. & N W tracks in West McHenry. shortly before 6 o'clock this morning by John Malch and John Sloan. He had apparently tried to catch the milk train which passes through McHenry at 10:30 or 11 o'clock at night, as he had been dead for nine or ten hours when the body was discovered. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 17*1937) McHenry township will have another voting precinct in the future makin^ajotal of four for the township, the new voting place being at Johnsburg. The request for the extra precinct was given to the county board at its meeting Tuesday and the election committee, consisting of Frank May. John Harrison, John Filip, Paul Rosenthal and Henry C. Meier, made a favorable report on the request. The polling place for the new precinct will be at Johnsburg at the Bildner Barber shop, which will be much more convenient for voters in that vicinity who previously have gone to Ringwood to vote. Showing a balance of ^10.914^71 in the treasury of the cTTy-oT McHenry for the fiscal year ended April 26, 1937, Auditor J.W. North, certified public accountant, submitted his annual audit report to the members of the City Council at the June meeting and will further explain the report at a later meeting. The balance on May 1 of last year was $11,745.70 and shows a decrease this year of $830.99, due to expenditures termed in the report as extraordinary ex­ penditures. These totalled $1,018.19 and included an ad­ ditional payment to the West McHenry State bank in final settlement of the judgments of- that bank against the city and additional sewer construction items borne by the city, amounting to $209.69 for con­ struction and $196 for in­ surance. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO) (Taken from the files of June 26. 1952) Three faithful bank em­ ployees of many years' service found out last Friday night just how it feels to have the arm of the law frown on one. Cashier Robert L. Weber and Assistants James Larkin and Tom Bolger were working over-time when they were surprised by the appearance of local police about 10:45 p.m. It seems the men became so engrossed in their work they forgot to turn off the burglar alarm and some alert citizen, hearing the alarm outside the building, reported the incident to police. Eighty-seven charter members of the newly formed McHenry Moose Lodge, No. 691, gathered at the Bridge ballroom in McHenry last Sunday afternoon to take their oaths of obligation. For three weeks prior to Sunday, a total of 131 members signed the lodge roster. Preparations continue for the big July 4 carnival, which the American Legion is sponsoring on the Legion grounds on Green street over the holiday weekend. Herb Reihansperger, newly elected commander of the McHenry post, is general chairman of arrangements for the four-day event which begins Thursday, July 3, and continues through Sunday. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of June 22. .'967) Local residents who have long advocated additional traffic control signal lights to aid pedestrians will be pleased to learn that the City Council on Monday night approved the bid of Aldridge Electric Co of Lake Forest, the low bidder. Voters previously approved a $35,000 bond issue to install lights at Front street and Elm street, and to make changes required by the State highway depart­ ment in existing signal lights. If the late Thomas A Bolger ever expressed aspirations for the-Governor's chair during his long service in the state Capitol, we will never be sure. If he did. his dreams were fulfilled in some measure last Saturday when his grand­ daughter, Cathy Bolger, daughter of Mr. and Mrs William Bolger. attained that high position at Girls State. Cathy, a dynamic young lady of 16, was elected to Illinois' highest position when she concluded a vigorous campaign to be elected on the Nationalist partV ticket She defeated Mickey Collins of Freeport by a vote of 395 to 130. A burglary netting the in­ truders approximately $1,850 in cash and merchandise took place at the Chapel Hill Country club in the early hours of last Sunday morning. $150 was taken from the cash box in the clubhouse, and stolen golf equipment belonging to the professional, including clubs, balls, etc., was valued at about $1,700. Last weekend marked completion of the new Millstream bridge which provides a short cut for traffic and an aid to fire protection in the north part of the city. Cost of the project was said to run about $12,000 in a share cost program between the city of McHenry and Ladd En­ terprises. GOLDEN GLEAMS Little do men perceive what solitude is. and how far it extendeth. -Francis Bacoi GROWTH SU RVEY How many children do married women expect to have within the next five years? Will they average the same number as in the recent past? Answers to these questions will indicate the future growth and com­ position of the nation's population, data vital to planners both in government and private business. Stanley D. Moore, director of the Bureau's regional office in Chicago, has announced that information on birth ex­ pectations^ American women will be collected during the week of June 20-24 from a sample of households in this area. * • * • Can anyone remember when an evening gown covered th« back and front?
