More than forty farmers and men inter­ ested in the welfare of the farming industry were in attendance. With the foot and mouth disease raging in several counties around us --the latest case is only eight miles from Elgin--the feeling has been growing for several weeks past that some steps that will tend to prevent an outbreak in this locality must be taken. It was with this view in mind that Supervisor Hale and Herman Gumprecht, secretary of the local branch of the milk producers, called the meeting Wednesday, that - the farmers might have an opportunity for discussing precautionary meas~. urea. Delate L. James, county agricultur­ ist, was present and informed the gathering of what has been done so far in various other communities, and made a number of suggestions rela­ tive to precautionary measures that may result in saving the herds of this locality from the ravages of the disease. Mr. James as well as others empha­ sized the fact that one of the most important steps that can be taken will be to use every possible means to prevent trespassers and particu­ larly hunters from going on or about the farms of the community. It has been demonstrated that hunters go­ ing from one farm to' another in quest of game can and do carry the germs of this disease from place to place. A number of cases have been traced to this source. The meeting therefore to a great extent developed into a discussion as to how best the farmer can combat the hunting evil. Hunters at all times are a menace to the dairy farmer. Only last spring a valuable cow on one of Supervisor Hale's farms was killed by a stray shot, and a horse on a nearby place had his side filled with shot. At this time, particularly when an outbreak of the foot and mouth dis­ ease--which will mean the loss of thousands of dollars to the county-- is threatening, it is doubly necessary that everything that can possibly be done must be done to . prevent hunt­ ers from following their own desires in McHenry county. With this idea in mind, it was sug­ gested yesterday that the county ag­ riculturist ask the McHenry county board of supervisors to petition Gov. Dunne to pass an order prohibiting hunting in any form within the lim­ its of the county. This phase of the situation will be taken up with the county board by Mr. James, and an effort will be made to secure the co­ operation of the governor in the mat­ ter. The idea was, expressed on all sides at the meeting that it was one thing to post the farms and prohibit hunters and.another thing to keep the hunters off. "These fellows come out from Chicago." said one farmer present, "and think they own the earth. I have had my farm posted and tried to explain matters to them, but as long as they are armed with a state license they pay no attention Mid do about as they please. We farmers can hardly use force, you know, in driving them off, even though our places are posted." "That may be true," admitted Mr. James. "But I believe we can keep them off if we go at it right. When a hunter refuses to pay attention to your notices and will not go off yo*jr place, then telephone for an officer and let him arrest him and force him to pay a fine. After a few hunters have paid good, stiff fines others will not come. « "Sheriff Wandrack tells me that he is willing to appoint four or five deputy sheriffs in each township, so that an officer with police powers can be secured quickly in case any hunters try to make trouble. Last fall we had vigilance committees in a number of townships, and it might be well to have the members of those committees appointed deputies. In that event you can find some on^ with­ in your own township with police powers to assist you at this time in keeping hunters off your' places." At the close of the meeting Mr. James said that he believed that the first and most important thing to do is to see that every farm in the lo­ cality $ posted against hunters. This should be done at once, as the woods and fields will soon be full of hunt­ ers from Chicago and other cities if steps are not taken at onee to pre­ vent it. It was also suggested at the meet­ ing that Mayor Pinnow of Crystal Lake as well as the mayors of other cities and villages in the county is­ sue proclamations, asking their citi­ zens to forego hunting at this time and assist the farmers in their fight to prevent the disease again invad­ ing our county. As a warning to hunters, it might be well to say that The Herald is in­ formed that the fine for hunting or trespassing on a posted farm in from $3 to $26.

CONSIDERABLE SEWER TALK ANaatber of Property Owners {|̂ ve , ^Alr ̂Signed Up Since the last issue of The Plain- dealer sewerage has become the gen­ eral topic of discussion V|n McHenry (war not exempted). The petition, which is being, circu­ lated among property owners, is be­ ing signed quite freely and, what's more, most willingly. We are told that every property owner who has been approached with the petition thus far has set his or her name thereto, those whose names already appearing on the document being as follows: Barbian Bros., C. G. Frett, C. G. Berner, Dr. D. G. Wells, J. H. Miller, Jacob Justen, John Heimer, Geo. A. Stilling, G. E. Schoel, M. »L. Worts, John J. Vycital, T. J. Walsh, Fred J. Karges, Lola D. Walsh, Richard B. Walsh, William J. Schu­ macher, L. F. Newman and Gertrude Masquelet* Those who have been circulating the petition have been doing so on their spare time only, which accounts for the fact that only a small portion of the property owners of the village have been approached. However, those who have interested themselves sufficiently to cause the petition to be placed into circulation assures us of another list of names for publication in next week's issue of this paper. As stated in these columns last week, the topic is one worthy of gen­ eral discussion and any information along this line should .be interesting to everyone who has the welfare of the village at heart. We therefore reproduce another letter received by .Mayor Wells, which reads as follows: Peoria, 111., Sept. 28, 1915. Hon. D. G. Wells, M. D., Mayor, McHenry, 111. Dear Sir--Having learned that, your people were considering the question of a sewer system for the village we write you regarding the project. We are civil and sanitary engineers and Mr. E. S. Terhune of our firm has been on the actual construction of the most up-to-date, method of handling sewage disposal, namely, by means of the "Imhoff Tank" and fil­ ters. This method of treating sew­ age may not be the best adapted to your case or be within your means. For your information we would say that the sewers would figure roughly at about $1.00 per foot, thus, knowing the number of blocks that you desired tC^sewer you can get an idea of .what the sewer would cost. The necessary funds for such an im­ provement could be raised by special taxation on contiguous property, while the disposal -works could be paid for with a bond issue from general taxation, voted on by the people, and such a proceeding would tell you def­ initely whether or not the people fa­ vored such an improvement. All these proceedings are handled" thru a board of local improvement made up from the board of trustees with the same man president of both boards. They employ an engineer to prepare preliminary plans and esti­ mates, which the board of local im­ provements presents 'to the board of trustees with their recommendations. If favorably passed on by the trustees notice is given and an election held to vote on the bond issue, or notice is given for a public hearing before 'the board of local improvements and an ordinance drawn up and passed by the board of trustees, petitioning the court to levy a tax on the property for the improvement. The county court sets a date for hearing objec­ tions and passes on the petition. Some little slip by the engineer or .lawyer may cause the . entire proceed­ ings to be thrown out of court and then the work has to be all gone over again. This is where competent en­ gineering and legal advice is worth the money. * As engineers we have been thru the mill with this legal work and can give you valuable help on some of the legal points as well as 'designing the sys­ tem or superintending the construc­ tion for the village. In the present day and age "Safety First" is becoming more of a motto in all phases of endeavor and human life is today more valuable in this coun­ try than ever before. ^ We all know that the excreta of man and beast is the principal" vehicle of infection and contagion and for the health and welfare of the children, who are on the threshold of life, wait­ ing to take up the burdens of this country, we should endeavor to give them first of all, health, which comes from pure water, milk and food. Now it is uncertain at all times whether this can be accomplished with cess­ pools and privies in use and water derived from open wells or cisterns nearby; the older these cesspools be­ come the more impregnated the sur­ rounding earth and an epidemic of disease may appear at softy time to take its toll in deaths,. There are numerous advantages derived from a sewer system, among which may be mentioned sanitation, convenience, expediency, the doing away with unsightly out-houses and the removing of all filth from private property in a sanitary sewer. The question is can the village af­ ford to be without this improvement? That question is one for your board of local improvement in conjunction with your engineer toUfigure out. * Our letter of recommendation will show that we have had experience on large projects and are competent to handle your work, and at any time we will be glad to show you these letters, copies of which we have sent Mr. Wells,' or meet with you and submit p proposition to faandle the engineer* A :v: r^ - - . ^ .v.'V' ' \Mk-'• I , mm M' AKESa practice of thinking ahead.
