Jack Walsh passed one day last week with his son, Earl, who. is at BACK FROM AUTO " TRIP TO IDAHO -•"Ilk'and Mrs. Walter Fay, who left McHenry early last August on an automobile trip to Council, Idaho, returned to this city the first of the iweek. They had attempted to make the return trip via auto, but had to pve it up after covering about 650 niles. On their arrival at Rock Springs, Wyo.,'the road, on account of rain and snow storms, had become impassable. They disposed of their "flivver" at this point and from there make the balance of their journey by rail. They were accompanied by Mrs. Fay's sister, Miss Louisa Cox, who Expects to make her home with tfcem for the coming printer at least. Mr. and Mrs. Fay made the overland trip from McHenry to Council, Idaho, in eleven days last August. They carried their own camping Outfit and put op at the various tourist camps thruout. The total expenses of ths trip amounted to $50.12. They had hoped to make the return trip via automobile, but owing to the condition of the reads they found this impossible. Mr. and Mrs. Fay and the latter's sister are planning on spending the winter at Kenosha, Wis., where Mr. Fay was employed last summer. (Continued from front page) the members of the state highway department. F. H. Wattlie, city alderman, believed that there should be two bridges ova* Fox river and saw no good reason why the state should avoid schools as the students surely would be greatly benefitted by having a good, cement road right uj> to the school. Wm. Spencer, proprietor of the West McHenry flour mill, was utterly opposed to a route which would take the road north of the mill pond. He favored a route #hich would connect the two' sides of town and then leave it to the governor to decide. He suggested that in order to start the ball a-rolling in an effort to unite the gathering on one route a vote should be taken among those assembled. His suggestion apparently struck a popular cord, altho it started an argument in which several of the men, who had previously expressed themselves, took an active part. After these arguments had been set forth, the chair called upon Mayor D. G. Wells, who felt that another exit to the West Side was a thing very badly needed and that to construct the road north of the mill pond would be a mistake to be regretted. P. M. Justen, secretary of the McHenry Community club, was asked to read the various resolutions which had been passed by the McHenry county board of supervisors, the village board of McHenry (the resolutions having been passed prier to our adoption of city goverment) and the McHenry Community club. Henry G. Saal of Chicago, who has extensive interests at Pistakee Bay, where he is now constructing one of the most modern homes to be found in this summer resort region, believed the Elm street route to cross the mill pond and to connect the two towns would be the better. Mr. Pries at this time expressed himself as in favor of the Elm street route, over the pond and thence to connect with Waukegan road near the West Side business section. A. S. Parks appeared very much impressed with two things which had thus far developed, one being that the assemblage was apparently unanimous that the road should not go north of the pond and the other being that most of those who had expressed themselves were in favor of another bridge or a second bridge i V TO give our custoftiert an idea of the buildings required to furnish them with gas and electric service, the principal electric generating stations and gas manufacturing plants owned by this CocQp pany are shown in sketch below. The Company's 112 buildings if grouped, would form a city of imposing size and igfr» dustrial importance. Bach of These buildings is a shelter for vast mechanical equipment necessary to ge§r erate electricity and manufacture gas. Connecting with these plants are huii* dreds of miles of wire and pipe, which bring electricity and gas into your home for your greater comfort and convenience. These buildings 'and their equipment represent but a part of the investment behind the Company's service and securitiep. After another few minutes \>f _ ••*1 diaeuisfcm a motion was made by Jos. W. Frcftmd and seconded by Wm. H. Althoff that a vote be taken on a route entering the city over Fox river near Justen's hotel, thence west on Elm street, then sou thwesterly to in tersect Waukegan street ft* or Front street. A motion was then made by HlmHr B. Evans and seconded by M. A. Conway that the vote be taken' by ballot. It was then moved by ,.Jos. W. Freund and seconded by T. jr. Walsh that the chair appoint a committee of four to canvass the votes. The chair appointed the following gentlemen as members of that committee: P. M. Justen, Wm. Spencer, R. I. Overton, and Alvin Peterson. A. E. Nye, proprietor of the West Side jewelry store, arose before the vote was taken to ask the question whether or not the referendum vote as taken at the fall election was to be utterly disregarded and whether or not the state officials would be guided by this vote. In substance the chair answered by saying that that vote had nothing to do with the meeting and that the election vote was anything but a unanimous expression. The chair then explained that "yes" would mean the voting for the location as described in the above mention and "no" would be a vote against said location. The ballots were then passed -out and later on canvassed. The result of the) vote was as follow*: / *..... It No ......... 88 Blank jfcjk 2 Present and not voting.....5;....10 Waukegan street 1 Seeing that the vote, showed anything but harmony, a general discus-.' sion once more followed. Finally itjwas decided to take a vote to recon-* sider the first motion. The motion tot reconsider was made by Wm. Spencer and seconded by J. C. Bickler. The chair then announced that he would like to make a change in the canvassing committee, his attention having been called after the first vote to the fact that all of the committee was made up of West Siders. He then excused P. M. Justen and Alvin Peterson and in their places named Wm. Bickler and Wm. H. Althoff. The result of the vote to reconsider was as follows: Yes 50 No 1 56 Once more came a general discussion and when it was seen that the gathering could not unite the chair called for a five minute recess. Several suggestions were then offered as ways and means of Straightening out the preplexing situ ation into which the meeting had developed, but to no avail, and as a final action of the evening a motion was made and seconded that a committee naming Mayor D. G. Wells, Atty. A. H. Pouse, Postmaster T. J. Walsh, Simon Stoffel, R. I. Overton, Wm. Spencer, Ben Stilling, H. G. Saal and F. G. Schreiner, be appointed to represent the city of McHenry at the road hearing before Gov. Small at Woodstock on Friday pfternoon. The chair then urged everyone Who could possibly arrange to do so to be over at Woodstock on Friday* *%, The meeting then adjourned. • ./ mm sAUMfce ii™. _ SMlop I'ljflli., g# room house a*d thrm lots Mfel iiMt river.
