Such action on the part of a ctartOOfter has been found to have beea ttto 'fcause of ser-, ious fires. The cotflftany 'a heaviest summer business in this district comes from McHenry and the immediate river territory. This business is very fluctuating. First of all, it is good t for only a very small portion of the year and is heaviest during the week ends of the summer season, when the company has experienced it quite a tftsfe' to keep the service up to its oftobfarise high state of efficiency. The speaker also mentioned the fact that ground is now being broken for an immense new generating plant to be constructed at Waukegan, which, when completed, will probably not be as large as one or two stations in Chicago, but just as modern and efficient. The completion of this huge plant will enable the company to take care of • future development of the territory served by them for a number of years to come. Upon concluding his talk Mr. Sedwich complimented McHenry on its live Community club and the good Work that was being done. He was warmly applauded when he took his chair. The balance of the evening was given over to general discussion, during which a number of subjects were brought up, and while action was taken on some, others were left over for another meeting. J. E. Pufahl, an enthusiastic member of the McHenry Military band, was first t$rise and say just a few words in support of that organization. Mr. Pufahl told of the progress that had been made by the local musical organization arid how the members themselves had thus far footed most of the expense of keeping the band intact. He believed that a band was a valuable asset to any community and as an advertising proposition was second to none. Just what the future held in store for the organization he was not there to say, but in order that the band might be kept alive funds must be provided, and he set forth the plea that such a fund might be created thru the activity of the club. Mr. PufahFs idefl met with instantaneous favor, the president of the club' naming a committee of three to canvass the village for the purpose of providing such a fund and this committee will no doubt make the rounds within the courf of the next few days. The members of the committee are John Engeln, Everett Hunter, Jr., and Wm. Bickler. a While the meeting was in session a letter was handed to the president. The letter, when read, contained a message from McHenry's younger population who appeared anxious to play the great national game of baste* ball, but being * without a suitable place to extend their efforts' along this direction and also due to the fact that they were without funds to provide themselves with the necessary bats and balls no doubt prompted them to appeal to the club for support. A collection taken up at the meeting, together with funds to b« upplied by" the club, will, it is believed, keep the little folks in a good frame of mind during the coming summer at least. John Engeln and Walter Warner were named as a committee of two to find a suitable playing field for the boys and also to purchase the necessary equipment so far as the funds available will reach. Since the meeting it is learned that the McHenry park will provide a playing field for the -boys. Next in order was a general discussion of McHenry's proposed sewerage system. Atty. A. H. Pouse reported that everything was set for immediate action and that with the court procedure over there should be nothing to stop actual construction work. Mayor Stoffel appeared of the opinion that certain objectors, not to the improvement so much, but to the location of the purification system, would cause the board of local im provements some trouble. This pos sibility was discussed at some length, after which all agreed that the club should go on record as approving the past as well as all future actions of this honorable body. The mayor, acting as spokesman for the village board as well as the board of local improvement, then expressed his willingness to go right ahead with the present plans. After a rather noisy demonstration on the part of the entire assemblage the meeting came to a close.

Fortunately, however, the locals got all'of their bad baseball out of their systems in the initial round, after which the team steadied down and proceeded to play a real game.
