He is expected to be here Thursday. A letter was read from M. J. Kent to the city board quoting the advice of his attorney and also mentioning the Knox taps in comparison with the Kent taps. Knox stated that as his name had been mentioned in the letter he would like to speak first and he said that he was not on the purchasing committee and had at no time ordered or bought anything for use for the Kent extension to the water works. Furthermore, that Kent had not felt himself bound to any agreement that he now claims was in force, as he had at different times approached different parties suggesting changes, etc. Knox made the motion, seconded by Frisby, that the city allow forty-five dollars each for the two water extensions and the balance of the bill to be ordered not paid. On the ballot the board was tied with the mayor giving the deciding vote and sustaining the motion. Mr. Douglas, service man from the Red Lights for Bridge Public Service Co., now has the red bulbs to put on the creek bridge and they will be fixed at once, also the clock regulating them will be checked so that they will go off at daylight. Julius Keg presented a plat of the new proposed subdivision on his recently dredged property adjoining Boone Creek at the end of Riverside Drive and Court street, for the approval of the city board and so that he would know what grades and levels to establish. The matter was referred to the street and alley committee. John Dowe requested information as 1 that the ornamental lights on Riverside Drive be lighted. Both motions were carried. Bonslett said, "We have several places in the pavement that need repairs and I suggest that the several places in the pavement be iixed at once, especially the place near the Community high school where the sewer seems to have given away beneath the concrete and it will probab- WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITEMS OF INTEREST Clinging to the back of an automobile when the driver had sought to speed away from his filling station without paying for a tank full of gasoline, Harry Maylord, Clinton, Wis., business man, was carried to his death Wednesday night. Maylord's body, .. with two bullet holes in the head, was ly need considerable filling and as it found near Emerald Grove by the is, the pavement may give way at any time and the city will have a damage suit on its hands. It was referred to the street and alley committee and for them to get bids from local contractors to repair the same. There are several damaged side walks where people are apt to trip and fall in the darkness, that the side walk committee should attend to. Motion was made that the city allow the contractors on Route 61 to take water from the clay hole on Center street, as the city water system would not be able to supply water enough in case of a drought. The extra dirt from the proposed pavement on Crystal Lake road is to be used for filling in the clay hole on Center street. Kreutzer: "The judges and clerks of the bond election have not as yet been paid." Frisby: "City clerk should notify the bond company to pay the judges and clerks." Conway: "The bond company refused to. acknowledge my letters but they had told Mosher that they did not intend to pay the clerks and judges." Mayor Frett said that he would take the matter up with the bonding company. Bonslett: "What became of the money that people outside the city limits paid for road oil last season? I note from published reports that the city paid for two cars of oil." After much discussion the situation was explained and Knox said that another matter he would like an to the side walk line on Wauke^^xpjaiiaJitMi'^N^as, what became of street from the Park hotel to Third street. Mr. Dowe was referred to the sidewalk committee who will establish the grade lines for him. Public Service Co. Gets Franchise The question of the Public Service franchise was brought up. Mr. Shabeck of the Public Service Co., was present and presented copies of the franchise as corrected, which were read in full. The franchise is made out for twenty years and contains no provision for any free lights. The mayor asked the opinion of each alderman individually. Frisby said that the term of years had been reduced and that it was a standard form similar to what all surrounding towns were getting and he saw no reason why the franchise should not be granted. Knox wanted to know if it was a standard franchise. Shabeck answered "yes." Stoffel said: MIt is a long time; 10 years is long enough at the most. I understand there are other towns that do not give franchises at all but work on a contract basis, with short terms of two, five and ten years. I am not in favor of the 20-year franchise at all." Kreutzer said, "I am not in favor of 20 years as 10 years is long enoufch." Bonslett said, "The city of McHenry is entitled to rent for the use of our streets and alleys." Doherty said, "They are giving us the same terms as to other towns so why should McHenry expect any more?" Shabeck mentioned that they do not have service men in all towns and that the company had reduced- the rates on the old contract without saying anything to the city about it. Bonslett said, "The Public Service Co., does not need to take credit for that reduction because it was caused by action of the Interjstate Commerce Commission." Stoffel asked "Mr. Shabeck, does the company live up to its contracts?" He answered "yes." Stoffel, "I have a dollar coming from the Public Service Co., for placing a pole on my property. The contract stated that the company had paid me one dollar. I have never received that dollar. If I owed them fifty cents and did not pay it they would shut off my lights and now they, a big corporation, have owed this dollar for a long time and apparently never intend to pay it." Mr. Shabeck went into his pocket and unwound a lone buck from his roll and tendered it to Stoffel and said that the Public i Service Co., always paid their bills. Stoffel thanked him and said that he was glad to be able to collect. Bon slett had called on four cities since the last meeting. One city with perpetual franchise does not like it as the grantees do not give good service for they feel that they have everything tied up and do not fear competition. Another city has no franchise at all and holds a 10-year contract for service subject to cancellation at the end of five years. This city liked their form of contract. Every town seemed to prefer short term contracts of franchises. Frett Casts Deciding Vote Mr. Shabeck, "No town or city will have any free lights under the new franchises as renewed." Frisby, seconded by Doherty, moved that the franchise be accepted as read. The ballot was: Bonslett no; Doherty yes; Frisby yes; Knox yes; Kreutzer no; Stoffel no. Again for the second time in the evening the mayor gave the deciding vote. Mayor Frett stated that the Public Service Co, had voluntarily reduced rates and were giving good service, had reduced the lights on the ornamental street lights when they could have held the city to the large watt lamps until the expiration of the contract, that he thought with all fairness to the company and the citizens of McHenry that he should vote "yes." Motion was carried. Matt Niesen, sperintendent of water works, said that in reading water meters he found several users who have only one meter, in some cases where they are on flat rates and no meters, and that he was unable to put in new meters as property owners had connected galvanized pipe directly to the lead pipe in some cases. In other cases the meter connections were of different sizes than the pipe, that he would have to have a plumber's service in making the connections. Knox, seconded by Kreutzer, moved that the superintendent of water works hire necessary help to connect new meters. To Light Riverside Drive Frisby, seconded by Kreutzer moved, £fie $100 paid into the fire department by people down river and of which there appears to be no record on the department's books. Frett said that the matter had been explained once before and that he had record of the deposit of the amount and that if it was necessary to stop the words of Knox's informant that he would, refer the matter to his attorney. Things were pretty hot around the table and it appeared to the spectators as if it would be necessary to call the fire department to cool things down a bit. To Hire Auditor An alderman said that two months ago an auditing committee was appointed and asked what they had done. Doherty said he was chairman of that committee and he did not care to act and be criticised for the whole board; that if the board wanted an auditor hired to put it to a vote and then it would be the action of the board rather than of the committee. Kriox said he was in favor of an audit if it had to go back 25 years to get a starting point, that he did not think that the gentlemen there realized what condition the town would be in when the bonds came due and the money to pay them had been used for other purposes. "I want an audit that will be thorough and all information turned over .to the auditor and not conceal a lot of matters from him as was done in the last audit." Hie mentioned an item of Pouse and Joslyn salaries and said that Pouse could not draw it legally and that Joslyn had never been hired so how could they pay either of them. Bonslett, seconded by Kreutzer, moved that the audit committee hire an auditor for a complete audit and separation of all funds back as far as assessment No. 6 and that the results should be published. Motion carried. Bonslett and Kreutzer stated that if anyone had destroyed the city sewer they should collect damages from that party by settlement or suit. The'matter of rebates from the fire insurance sheriff and a posse of deputies, draped across one of the rear fenders of the abandoned car. Thomas Bower passed away at Richmond, 111., on Saturday, July 7. Funeral services were held at Richmond on Tuesday afternoon, July 10. The services were in charge of Calvary Commandery No. 25, K. T., of which organization Mr. Bower was a member. Two Evanston men, who declared that they were suffering from heat, decided to try the cooling waters of Diamond Lake Monday night of last week. They lacked bathing suits, according to Police Magistrate Overholzer. The attention of those attending a dance at the Ray Pavilion was attracted to the bathers. The law entered and fines of $10 and costs were assessed. Woodstock's National Guard Company was mustered out of service one evening last week at the armory. The services of the members of the company ended when Col. S. O. Tripp, quartermaster of the state militia, visited the armory for the purpose of mustering out the local troops. Colonel Tripp came to Woodstock at the request of the commanding general of the 33rd Division, of which the local unit was part. The mustering out services were very simple. Memebrs of the company were requested to turn in their equipment before discharge papers were handed out. Officers of the company included Captain William Thomson, First Lieut. Ray Dittman and Second Lieut. Eddie Williams. Irvin Anderson was first sergeant and Harold Schmidt supply sergeant. John Coleman, tramp who was indicted for the murder of Thomas Morrison, 35, of Rondout, a special agent for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, May 30, 1915, has confessed to the crime and is being held in Fullerton, Calif., for Deputy Edward Dunne of Lake county, who left Monday to bring the prisoner to Lake county for trial. HEAT TAKES TOLL OVER WEEK-END (Continued from First Page) prehended Saturday evening by State Motorcycle Officer Phil Guinto and was bound over, to the McHenry grand jury on a charge of driving while intoxicated. Mr. and Mrs. Downs, who have recently moved to Johnsburg from Elgin were in a serious accident on Sunday. While driving along the Crystal Lake road the car crashed into the side of a bridge smashing it up badly and injuring the occupants. They were crowded off the highway by a truck and crashed into the bridge, wrecking the car. Mr. and Mrs. Downs were not seriously hurt although each received cuts and bruises and were badly shaken up as a result of the crash. Four pedestrians were hit by a vampire car as they were walking at the side of the pavement at Lily Lake late Saturday. They had parked their car and were walking along the side of the road to a refreshment stand when the car which was advancing rapidly swerved off the pavement striking the victims and then pulled back onto the cement and hurried away. Medical aid was summoned for the victims of the accident and they were taken to rompa^rTo" "Z department i £ funds was brought up and the ques-1 ReKan* tion of when Kent & Co. would turn in their fund was discussed, as well as the firm of Stoffel & Reihansperger. The matter of appropriations was brought up by Doherty as chairman of that committee. Stoffel said: "Why appropriate $5,200 when the city will not have anywhere near that amount." Stoffel, speaking to Doherty, said: "We had a spat on this subject before." Doherty said: "Yes, we've had many of them and there seems to be no end to them." Niesen was instructed to read water meters in accordance with the time specified in ordinance. Charles Ensign: "Wlill this city board give me an opinion on the Robert Thompson sewer bill?" Stoffel said he thought the city was holding for the amount of labor in the street and would have to repair it. He moved, seconded by Doherty, that the Ensign bill for Thompson's sewer for labor as far as lot line be paid by the city. Motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 11:16. PRETTY WSDXUHG AT CRYSTAL LAKE ***»• Maidl and Paul. Zmk . / ^ Take Nuptial Vows ; j June 26 A very pretty, yet simple, wedding was solemnized on June 26 at St. Thomas' church at Crystal Lake when Miss Cecelia M.

StTMED ON SOUTE 61 After Nearly Two Weeks' Delay Doe to Abnormally Heavy Rains The many rains daring the past two weeks or more have practically stopped cement pouring operations on Route 61 during that period. Cement pouring was resumed Friday morning on that part of the state road north of this city near Richmond. Only about to miles more to be laid remains to complete Route 61 from the Wisconsin state line to McHenry, the two miles necessary being from the north village limits of Richmond to about 400 feet north of Reeder's Corners along the F. N. Wilson farm. Grading gangs have been able to do considerable work in spite of the rains but at least two or three weeks of good weather will be necessary to put in the remaining strip. The work of grading on Route 61 in McHenry was commenced this week and the street from Henry Heimer's place on Main street to John street is now closed to traffic. Janner Brothers * who had the contract for the grading • of Route 61 south of McHenry and are now working south of Terra Cotta, sublet the contract for this short piece of state road in this city, to A. P. Freund, who is now at work on \he job with a Wilford shovel and two trucks which carry the filling away. The laying of the slab south of McHenry has been finished to the corner at Terra Cotta and the Powers- Thompson company are now working from the factory at Terra Cotta north to connect with the pavement at the corner. With only about a mile of pavement to be completed at Terra- Cotta the cement pouring outfit will then be brought to the top of the hill just south of this city and the slab will be laid to McHenry thus completing the route as far as Terra Cdtta. If favorable weather continues, no doubt, the work will progress rapicBy. A Philadelphia doctor declares that anyone can live to be 100.

Mrs. Carrie Pawlish, of 6729 Mc- Vickers avenue, Chicago, received severe bruises when a car in which she was riding met with an accident near McHenry Sunday. She was taken to the Victory Memorial hospital at Waukegan for treatment. • On Wednesday Stanley Schaefer, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Schaefer, and John Fay met in an accident at the east end of Main street in this city.
