Pierce, special state's attorney appointed to prosecute violators of the prohibition law in McHenry county, has been allowed $1,095 for his services and his assistants, D. R. Joslyn, Sr., has been paid $1,150, according t* bills rendered the board of supervisors at the regular meeting of that body at Woodstock on Monday of this week. Ira Blackwell, R. E. Ditch and C. A. Bruner, detectives employed to obtain evidence on which dealers in illicit liquor were indicted, were each given the sums of $?09.30, $253 and $20.33 respectively. Supervisors carefully examined the statements presented by the special county prosecutors and detectives and compared the same with the gross fines recovered from the group of law violators, from whom the total sum of $7,798.10 was assessed and approximately all but $700 paid into the county treasury. Pay $1,500 for Road Settlement Settlement of the right of way dispute north of Harvard at Chilson's was reported by Supervisor Haeger, head of the special committee to confer with the Chicago, Harvard & Geneva Lake railway, Mr. Haeger saying the sum of $1,500 was paid to bring about settlement. Tracks of the electric line will have to be moved to a point further east than where they have been for years. The Chilson car track settlement also includes expenses incurred in removing tracks at the McFarlin curve, <he two costing the county a total of $1,500, which the electric car line company estimated was its' expense in moving the tracks at the two ppints. The Oak Grove car track controversy is still unsettled. Track disputes near the cemetery at Big Foot and the state line still remain unsettled, Mr. Haeger said, but inferred these will be worked out in a short time by the special committee, which is vested with power to enter into settlement therefor. Milburn Bros., contractors having the state road contract, are anxious to have the disputes cleared up so as not to prevent prosecution of their work, it was stated by Supervisor Ward, of Harvard. Continue Clean Cattle Test Continuance of the clean cattle test was voted after B. L. Thomas, Greenwood dairyman, told the progress made in McHenry county herds during the past yeajJr-sAn appropriation of $4,000 was votecftupon motion of Supervisor' Hale. According to Mr. Thomas, 115 herds in the county are under supervision now against fourteen a year ago; over fifty of the 102 counties in Illinois have adopted the area cattle test plan; a total of $21,000 has been paid by federal and state appropriation to owners of forty-one herds slaughtered during the past year, the average paid for each being $54, the same ^included cows and calves. Dr. Draper tested 759 head in May. Dorr Leads in Tested Herds The town of Dorr, of which Woodstock is the business center, leads in number of tested herds with 18; Chemung township follows with 14, Dunham being third with 13, Greenwood fourth with 10, McHenry next with 8, while Alden and Hartland each have 6; Hebron has 4, Riley, Grafton, Algonquin 3 each; Marengo 7; Richmond and Nunda 4 each. Members of the county board appear to entertain a different viewpoint from a year ago when they were hostile to the plan to judge from their attitude on Monday of this week. Miss Mabel Hobbs, county nurse, presented her annual report, wherein She told of having 140 cases under her care, tuberculosis being present in one form or another in each instance Dr. Hyde West, president of the county tuberculosis association, expressed unqualified approval of Miss Hobb's work and asked that the annual appropriation of $1,500 be granted for the ensuing year. According to court house rumor, Miss Hobbs will soon sever her relations with the work in McHenry county to accept a more alluring position in another Illinois county. Expensive Judicial Election The judicial election on June 2, lit which a member of the supreme court was elected, cost almost $1,500 for election judges and clerks, rent for voting places and necessary incidentals in connection with the same, according to bills presented by the various towns of the county. The April 8 primary election ballots, the largest ever printed in McHenry county, cost a total of $1,150.75, a trifle more than 30,000 of them being used in the April ballot battle. Bridge Upkeep Expensive That upkeep of bridges amounts to considerable was indicated by votes of the board during the day. Supervisor Stockwell of Riley asked county consideration of a problem important to his home town, where two bridges are necesary to span large streams of water, one near the McCue farm, at an estimated cost of $7,500, and a second structure nearby to be repaired at a cost of not less than $1,680, he told the board. Supervisors Wright, Ackman and Desmond were appointed to investigate „ the Riley town situation. Floyd Carr, Greenwood highway commissioner, asked the installation of a bridge on the main highway between Greenwood and Ringwood at an estimated cost of $1,600. Supervisors Whipple, Durkee and Walters were named to make inquiry into the condition as reported by the Greenwood commissioner. Change in Road Patrol Area A change in the road patrol area was reported by the roads and bridge committee and approved by the board. Abandoning a strip of 1% miles north of Barry brothers' farm in Hartland to the Chas. Bailey corners; taking like action on a road strip in Riley and adding 3% miles in Seneca. 5 miles in Coral and one mile in Algonquin represented the change thus made, Chas. Ackman, head of the board road's committee, saying the same, conform to fairness in the county highway program. Hartland Supervisor Gets $500 Supervisor Desmond, Hartland, sponsored the project of a $500 appropriation for use in repairing the highway from route 19 at Collins (Concklin) corners north to the county farm, where the township has already expended $900 and $500 additional is needed, the Hartland supervisor told his colleagues, adding that his town is financially unable to meet the obligation and that the county has en especial interest because of the county farm being on the highway in question. The appropriation sought was voted, whereat Supervisor Ward of Harvard asked a like amount for use in repairing a strip of highway outside the Harvard corporate limits on the Alden highway. "If it is equitable for my colleague from Hartland to receive financial aid for a highway within his town, why not grant a similar favor to my town on a like project," said the Harvard supervisor, bvt his plea was unhftcded. ° Linoleum Contract to Rockford The Blomquist Furniture Co., Rockford, presented the lowest bid for furnishing Ihe required yardage of battleship linoleum and installing the same on the floor of the circuit court room, the judge's chamber, the sheriff' 3 office, county clerk's office ..and the main hallway on the first floor of the building. . . / V; ;V The Blomquist company bid wis $1,200; P.
