FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 25, 1939) Charging that the $6,000 award by a jury in the county court in the condemnation suit of the State of Illinois vs. Rep. Thomas A. Bolger of McHenry in connection with ap­ proximately 57 acres of land, is inadequate and does not amount to just compensation to the owners, a new trial is being asked by the defendants in a motion filed in the county court before Judge Henry L. Cowlin. The motion was filed by At­ torney V.J. Knox and J.E. Bairstow, counsel for the owners of the property.

TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of May 16, 1969) After a long period of study and discussion, the board of School District 15 voted to in­ stitute a central kitchen for one year on a trial basis, effective next fall.

The trial plan calls for food preparation to be done at the present Junior high and served at Landmark school. The sytem to be used consists of six basic steps: preparation, packaging, distributing, heating, serving and disposing.
