Therefore matters of interest to the membership at large should be called to the attention of the officials and members of the association at this time.

Honorable Mayor and .Council, McHenry, 111. Gentlemen--Under date of March 9, 1920, this department approved plans for a proposed sewer system and sewerage treatment plant for McHenry, but we were surprised to learn from a recent interview with Mr. Frederick Beller that the sewer' system has not as yet been installed.

We trust that the petition will receive favor- tempted able consideration for there is no WORK TO START SOON Machinery For New Sub-Diviflisa Baa Been Purchssrd The machinery which is to be used in the dredging work at the new subdivision at Pistakee Lake, to be known as Pistauqua Heights, has been purchased and, according to Harry Huff, one of the owners of the tract, will be shipped to the point >rithin the course of the next two weeks. Besides a giant dredging outfit, a number of tractors and other equipment have been purchased and when once the work has been started there will be no letup, as it is the desire of those interested in the venture to hate tho tract ready so as to enable them to begin the selling of lots early in the summer.

A. Bolger addressed to the voters and taxpayers of the district, purporting to explain "why Abell was engaged." Careful study of the article, however, fails to reveal any real explanation. The statements made are vague and indefinite from lack of facts and the article ends simply with an appeal to the public "to rest assured that the board wili not place itself in a position where it will be necessary to offer any apologies But taxpayers and voters are still asking *why" and it appears that there are a number of things in this connection that should be explained 1. Will Mr. Bolger explain to the voters and taxpayers what the "thorough investigation" consisted of which enabled the "majority members" of the board "to satisfy themselves" that "no change jn architect was necessary?" 2. Will Mr. Bolger explalh by what process of reasoning the "majority piembers" of the board construed the statement in the county superintendent's letter, "I have today written Mr. Ralph E. Abell of Elgin to com* municate with you," as a recommendation of Mr. Abell as a high school architect? Hie county superintendent in a letter to Dr. Froehlich, which was read to the board at the meeting of Jan. 24, stated: "Any architect that the board may select will be satisfactory to me." 3. Will Mr. Bolger state what consideration the "majority members" of the board gave to the recommendations of Prof. H. A. Hollister, high school visitor from the University of Illinois for the past twenty or more years, on whose recommendations the high schools of the state are accredited, after having gone over the two proposed types of buildings in detail, and why these recommendations were apparently disregarded ? 4. Will Mr. Bolger state whether he or any of the "majority members" of the beard have gone over in detail the relative merits of the two types of buildings with our present superintendent, or with any other school man who has had experience invthe administration of a school as large or larger than our owji? 5. Has Mr. Bolger or any of the 'majority members" of the board estigations of the exother boards which have when the project is again started fol- found that the sum is actually lowing your meeting Monday evening $102.20.

The wrestling bout, best two oat of three falls, went to "Red" O'Brien of Woodstock. Archie Parker of Elgin was his opponent. Hie Woodstock man took the first fall via the toe hold after onlyQn few minutes of wrestling. The Elgin man then came back and took the second, whil*» "Red" made quick work of the third fall by again getting his man with that vicious tee hold. The bout was dean and fast all the way. Young Barbian of McHenry easily gained the decision over Eddie Williams of Woodstock, the McHenry lad going after his man fast and furiously from start to finish. Barbian was given every round. / Johnnie Stahl, pride of Genoa Junction, won over "Kid" Garrison of Fox Lake and came within a count of winning via the knock-out route in the third round. After fighting on about even terms for two rounds, the Badger state lad came back strong and fast in the third, knocking his opponent down for a count of eight. The Fox Lake lad threw up the sponge in the fourth after his opponent had tired him down so that he could go no further. The bout had been scheduled as a six-round affair. Soldier Meyers of this village was given the decision over "Lefty" Starrin in the sixth of their scheduled eight round battle, the McHenry man winning on a foul. The first round went to Meyers, while the second went to the Elgin lad by a shade. The third again went to Meyers, but this was about as far as Meyers was able to go. After this it was all Starrin, the Watch city lad going after his opponent with a vengeance, and only for his anxiety for a knock-out he would have surely been declared the winner. He had Meyers down on the mat for a count of nine in the fourth and again bested him in the fifth. In the sixth Meyers was knocked down for a second time, but the Elgin lad failed to wait for him to regain his feet before letting go of what looked like a hay-maker. The foul gave Meyers the decision. Starrin's work was that of a real comer and we predict for him a wonderful future in the fistic game. Another show, which will probably be the last this season, will be staged under the auspices of the McHenry post, American Legion, some time the latter part of this or the first of next month.
