Wauconda, which has been bhard hit because it was one of the last communities to accept testing gen-- erally, bad 10 out of 510 cattle condemned. KFour of the townships, Wauke-- gan, Newport, Shields, Lake Villa, and . Benton presented _ perfect records. The chart for the entire }mt' was as follows: Townships Cattle Reactors Antioch --...........____.._._.. Deerfield township, where s¢ven cattle were tested, had one |re asector which was the worst rec-- ord. Fremont stood next with 438 cattle tested and 12 reactors. Forty--four out of 4,033 cattle were found to be reacters infect-- ed with bovine tuberculosis in the three month period ending Sept. 9, according to the report sub-- mitted to the county board of su-- pervisors by Dr. Thomas P.

Wition road. Gavin school to ronte: 20, 5 miles. Rand road,. route Zurich, 1 mile. Lobdell advised the board that the alternative was to spend the money as received and complete the program in ten to twelve years or to present a bond issue and complete the _ construction in three to four years and discharge the bonds with the money as it came into the county posssession. Widening was not discussed at the conference. In the past Lob-- dell has taken the position that the primary and secondary road system should be treated with first and widening then consid-- ered. State aid along this line is not unlkely as Cook county and Wisconsin motorists travel the roads in large numbers Paving Outlined Here is a summary of Lobdell's program : Hickory Corner to Pikeville, . 2 Wauqonda to route 176 mile. Town Line road, Wedge's Cor-- ner to Buffalo Grove, 18 miles. 224 street, North Chicago, to 42°¢A, 0.5 mile. Buckley roads, Five Points to route 21. 5 miles. Dearfield avenue, Old Mill road to route 21, 2 m'les. Wadsworth road, Greenbay road to Sheridan road, 2.5 miles. In all about 50 miles of pave-- meat will be needed and the an-- ticipated expenditure will run close to $2,000,000. The money will come from the $500,000 owed the county by the state for refunds and the anticipated collection of $110.000 to $120,000 from the gasoline tax. > Building of the road connecting with the Millburn route at Grand avenue through Druce Lake, Gages Corners, Mundelein, Dia-- mond Lake, Half Day and down to the Cook county line, will bear a large portion of the traftic that has knotted up Libertyville streets over the week end, he pointed out. In addition the construction of the cut--off from -- Halt Day northwest near Diamond Lake and on toward Volo and into the Fox Lake and Lake Geneva district, will also attract many motorists, viding eounty will also attract many motorists, he declared.

"In case something arises where another person is needed I will pro-- vide for it through an appointment. Right now thére will be no perma nent assistant named," he declared. For the past seven years Mrs. Funk ha: received $175 monthly. Under e resolution 'her salary could be fixed at $200 monthly, GHAUFFEUR SAVES AGED GOUPLE IN LAKE FOREST FIRE Judge Persons stated, after being advised of the action, that the reg-- ular routine work had reached the capacity of one person and that he intended to appojnt an assistant for short periods of time when the pro-- bationary cases and home superyvi-- slonr became too much for Mrs. Mary Polmeteer Funk, the juvenile oflcer. The board empowered County Judge P. L. Persons to make the ap-- pointment of an assistant. At the same time it was provided that the probation offfieer should not receive more than $2,400. Provision for an assistant proba-- tion officer in juvenile court was made today by the board of super-- visors through the adoption of a resolution stipulating that not more than $1,200 shoukt be expended an-- nually for such a purpose. BOARD VOTES FOR JUVENILE AID IN GO. COURT WORK The Lake Forest fire department battled 'the flames for several hours and prevented the fire from spread-- ing to other buildings on the estate. Harold Kirk, chauffeur for Walter W. Alschlager, noted architect who lives on an estate at Lake Forest, saved the aged parents--in--law of the architect last night when he led them from a burning building in which they had been trapped on the second floor. A stove explosion on the first floor of the building sho. flames in-- to the quarters occupied by Mr. and Mrs. James Wicks, parents of Mrs. Alschlager, on the second _ floor. They were cut off from escape by the raging flames, but Kirk dashed into the burning building and led them to safety. Mr. Wicks is 80 years old and Mrs Wicks is 73. Fire-- men at Lake 'Forest declared the aged couple would surely have per-- ished except for the heroism dis-- played by Kirk. Damage estimated at $10,000 was done to the building, a residence apart from the main residence on the Alschlager estate. Leads Parents -- in -- Law of Waiter W. Alschlager to Safety From Fire. F. J. Geraghty, Shields (Lake Blufft). The department of welfare, work-- Ing through its state institutions will furnish the material and much of the labor for this work. Seedlings developed at the various state in-- stitutions will be planted by inmates of the institutions at spots where they are most needed. Maintenance of trees and shrubs after they are planted will be the task of the de-- partment of public works. Markers, made at the state reformatory at Pontiac, will be placed wherever trees or shrubs are planted. Names of Three Waukegan Men Appear on List; Rath-- er Busy Session Seen. GRAND JURY IS DRAWN FOR THE OCTOBER TERM Harry i. Cleveland, director, of public works, and Rodney Brandon, director of welfare, have poole? the resources for the beautification of the highways, through the planting ol trees and shrubs. During the first stages of the project, the berutifica tion program wlill be concentrated on spots now particularly displeas-- ing to the eyes of passing motorists. Later, the plan may be extended to embrace the entire system of high-- ways. Highways of lilinois may become more sightly ways in a plan propos-- ed by hbheads of two state depart-- ments proves a success. MORE SIGHTLY HIGHWAYS SOUCKHT . _ Ebe Libertpoille Inbepenbent | E. L.

Chronics should be examined by the physician once a month and allowed to stay not more than nine-- ty days only through an approval from the board of supervisors. 8.

Admittance cards should be presonted before the patient is ac-- cepted by the hospital. 1. That the capacity of the hos-- pital is 73 beds per day and should remain so. 2. Adoption of the resolution should not make any of the recom-- mendations binding on emergenecy caser. No classification was made on conlagious cases. Would Oust Class D's. In the findings the committee re-- commends the exclusion of Class D patients entirely. The investigators reveal that Class A., or paupers, made up a very small percentag» of patients in the period eovered by their probe. Part pays, or Class B, are also banned under the recom-- mendations. Class C., or emergency cases, are recommended to be billed for services at prevailing rates of regular pay hospital. In the evyent of a failure to collect the bills would be turned to the states attorney for collection. Urged Greater Appropriation. The findings urge a larger appro priation. Van Patten intends to ask for $85,000, or $15,000 greater than the year closing Sept. 1. He believes that the new policy will cut the cost of operation but he wants to play safe and get under the appropria-- tion instead of running on the red gide of the ledger. Would Print Names. The resolution, drawn on the facts brought out in the findings urges the following course: Van Patten takes the position that the appropriation should be sufficient to elimtnate any over drafts. He thinks it highly possible that under the new policy the hos-- pital can operate for less but he insists that is is better to turn money back to the treasury than to be forced into making overdrafts. Receipts Show Slump. In the findings of the committee, wbrh was composed of Supervisor Edmward M. Mawman, lLake Bluft, chairman, Supervisors David Van Patten, Russell; H. C. W. Meyer, Mundelein; Thomas V. Murphg'. of North Chicago; Charles Wright of Warren township; Arthiur Vercoe, Highiand Park; and James O'Con-- nor, Deerfield, chairmanrn of the board, the receipts were shown to have decreased since an injunction entered by Circuit Judge Clairs C# Edwurds probibiting a large ram-- ber of pay railents. The committee expressed . the opinicn that receilpts in the future »ceuld continue to diminish. At the same +ime the appropriation was shown to te on the upgrad>. In 1923--21 it had been $40,,000 and for 1938--29, $70,000. Overdrafts for *the period -- reached $95,837. Receipts were the highest in 192526 with $32.866 and lowest for 1928--29 with §$8,586. Recall Restraining Order. The classification of patients, as fixed by the injunction, were listed in the fMindings of the committee as follows: Class ID»--Full pay but not admit-- ted to the exclusion of the other three classifications. Resolution Adopted Without Note of Dissension; Plan New Appropriation. _ To Ask for $85,000 Supervisor David Van Patten, chairman of the hospital committee, who also served on the special com-- mittee, declared that he would ask for an appropriation of $85,000 for the coming year lestead of $70,000 as was given last year. The printing of the names will eliminate, the toard hopes, the us-- .'3 of the hospital by politicians and supporters of politicians. This drastic action was necessary, it was pointed out in one committese meet-- ing, to break the terrific expense at the institution. The appropriation was exceeded by $21,000 during the past year, due entirely to the large number of pa-- tients admitted to the hospital. COUNTY HOSPITAL PAUPER PLAN WINS APPROVAL OF BOARD Without a note of dissension that county board of supervisors today adopted a resolution that virtually swings3 the county hospital out"of a "pay patient" class to a pauper in-- stitution. The resolution, based on findings of a special committee, provided that chronic cases, that have con-- gested the institution, be removed as fast as possible and that the nameg of all patients at the hos-- pital, except those under the con-- tagion and emergency classification, be printed once a month in both to-- cal newspapers.

Marvelous co--operation has been given to the department officers by everyone. The newspapers particu-- larly have extended wonderful: co-- operation in the many thousands of lines of publicity rendered through the co--operation of the Associated Presgs. ® "In reference to the big three, which includes New York, Pennsyl-- vania and I!linois--Illinois leads this group as well as the nation, being 5,500 ahead of New York and 8,000 ahead of Pennsylvania.

Real records in community and post activities have been made in 1929. Closing the Amerlc%l Legion books in preparation for the annual con-- vention at Rock Island next week, Department Adjutant William C. Mundt today announced lllinois had 4,200 more members than last year and 1,500 more than the department ever had. "Illinois leads the nation" by. a safe margin of 5,500 members, he said. His statement was as follows: Chicago, _ Sept. .1« :\» --Symp-- toms _ of liquidation of cattle on feed, a seasonal run of grasses enlarged by drought, determination of pickers to reduce beef costs and a slim demand for cattle for further finish all played a part in the re cent downward trend in prices for intermediate and lower grades, the Prairie Farmer market review said | today. LEGION HAS _ 4,200 MORE MEN THAN LAST YEAP Egg prices'are advancing at some what more than the usual rate and values are now 2 to 5 cents higher than a year ago. Harvesting of the late hay crop is still making rapid progress with hot, dry weather favoring wo?k and a large proportion of the crop is be ing saved in good 'condition, . Re ceipts of fop grade alfalfa at mid-- western markets are lighter than usual at this time and offerings move rapidly at substantial premi-- ums over ordinary hay. Wool prices are holding firm and slight rises are reported 6n some grades. » While Wigher wheat prices appear quite probable jater on, bullish crop news from the southern hem{sphere wil} be needed 'to hold them in the near future while foreign Gemand remains alack. _ + Lamb prices have been und~ pressure from large supplies and prices d«ropped to a new low point for the season. There probably will be an increase in receipts# dur-- ing September, but prices are not likely to be any lower because of the level '@iready reached. Trade forecasts of the corn crop as of September 1 averaged only 2,509,000,000 bushels, a loss of 232 million bushels from the prospect shown by the official forecast a month previous. Has 1,500 More Than De--| partment Ever Had, Says | Dept. Adjt. Wm. Mundt. | Feeder prices'are now $1.50 to $3 lower than a year ago and a dollar under the average cost in the last four months of 1928. Buyers are par-- tial to light cattle and so indiffer-- ent to heavy, feshy steers that the outcome of feeding ?erauoni may be the opposite of last year, when light steers were generally profit-- able and larger losses were taken on the heavy steers placed on feed. Long feeding in years of scarce and high--priced corn has often been pro-- fAtable. Hog receipts thus far have shown no real sign of the partial bare spot expected in late summer and average prices have dropped to the lowest level since last -- February. There is still time for a spell of light receipts, but few crqp hogs fBnished on old corn are already showing up in considerable num-- bers, and there is a possibility that the poor negw crop will force an ear 1y movement instead of the jate ness of the crop causing hogs to be held back as seemed possible a few weeks ago. Supervisor Charles Herschberger, of Vernon township, today was making an effort to learn if busses could operate for pay on routes abandoned by regular motor coach lines. A number of school children attended theHighland Park schools from the Prairie View and Half Day district last year, They traveled on the motor coach line operating there then. It was abandoned be-- cause it falled to pay and now the residents doubt if another bus line can bestarted by other people.
