The type of pavement chosen is said to be of very durable quality and makes up a very neat job. In cities and towns where this type has been in use over a number of years, it is said to be giving universal satisfaction. The local board is very pleased over the bids submitted last Friday and believes that every property owner affected should and will be satisfied when the jobs are once in.

Supervisor Wright acclaimed similarly. The petitions in question and those designating initial work on the $100,000,000 bond issue in McHenry county were referred to the Ackman committee with power to investigate. Supervisor Whipple asked that tne half mile stretch of road ^est from route 19 to the Marengo-Harvard highway, just south of Harvard, be included in the patrol area.

Hebron came back strong in this quarter and with but three minutes to play, they were leading our boys by a count of 19 to 18.

H. Pouse estabishes a record never before approached in the county, supervisors told the county prosecutor at a meeting at Woodstock on Tuesday of this week. Exactly ten law violators contributed to .the fund the county attorney turned over to the school money of the county, it was' disclosed in the report filed with the coun ty. clerk and made a part of the record of his administration of the state's attorney's* office in McHenry county. ' The major contribution was rtadc by Mrs. Marie Kunch, Fox River Grove soft drink parlor operator, who drew- a fine of $2,000 from Judge Barnes after her trial and conviction. The costs amounted to $60. John Rose and Andrew McKay, Crystal Lake and Algonquin blind pig operators, contributed^ $800 and $775 in fines and $30 and $45 in costs respectively, the Pouse report shows. Others contributing to the county school fund in fines and fees were August Hildebrandt, $491.96; Charles Claysen, $130; Louis Vleck, $730; Otto Wagner, $135; Walter Klinck, $15 and Mitchel et al, $95. Fees paid jurors, mileage, meal?, bailiff fees for four court trials totaled $750, and other expenses incurred by the new countyprosecutor amounted to $341.58. State's Attorney Pouse was heralded by supervisors at their meeting on Tuesday as a prosecutor who is making good and his administration of the office to which he was elected last November won supervisors' favor, a number of board members frankly told him.
