Will the citizens of McHenry subscribe to a fund with which to provide the McHenry fire department iWth a fire truck? , This is a question that has been put to them for discifcikn and if it is found that the sentiment is favorable a popular subscription drive will be inaugurated here. Should it be found, however, that our people do not want this much needed acquisition to our fire fighting equipment the matter will be temporarily .dropped. too matter how good a fin department may be organized in the village it cannot be expected that good work can be accomplished without the required equipment. Thus a fire track, properly equipped, is an absolute necessity in our village and in view of the fact that the village funds do not warrant the purchase of said equipment at this time it is up to the property owners to provide the funds if we have an equipment such as is now found in every city and village having a fire department. Become a booster for a well equipped fire department for McHenry by talking the matter over with your neighbors and friends and thus pave the way for a subscription drive in the hope that ample fundi may be collected with which to tna*ke the proposed purchase. An organized fire department with the proper equipment will give Me- Henry a lower rate of insurance and at the same time give us better protection against fire losses.

L. Ferris, owner of what is known as the Orrin Carpenter property--house and four lots--at North Division and West Diggins street, disposing of it to Overton & Cowen of McHenry for $11,000. Mr. Ferris purchased the property last spring of Mrs. C» H.' Underbill of Sharon for| $10,000* • Of late representatives of the Standard Oil company had made him an offer for that portion of the property occupied by the house for the purpose of installing a service station. Mr. Ferris preferred to dispose of the property outright than to build on it for rental purposes or to sell a portion of it to the Standard Oil company, therefore he let it go to Overton ft Cowen when they came up to the price he held it for. Overton & Cowen are the Buick agents here, having succeded J. C. flurkart when the latter recently gave up the agency. We understand that they plan to move the dwelling house to the north end of the property, facing West Bl#kman street, it being their plan to build a modern garage on the other lots. They may conclude to close a deal with the Standard Oil company for the lot where the house now stands, as the company is anxious to secure that location for an up-to-date service station.
