"JERRY* MORRISON PLACE IS AGAIN RAIDED "Jerry" Morrison's place near Spring Grove was again raided by Acting Sheriff Don Hihbard and his deputies at about nine o'clock last Saturday night and as a result of the raid "Jerry" was taken over to the county seat and lodged in jail. She is charged with conducting a disorderly house and when brought before Judge Edward D. Shurtleff waived hearing. The court placed her bonds at $2,500, in the absence of which she was taken to jail to await the action of the grand jury. Mrs. Morrison claims that she is innocent of the charges, but evidence as found by the officers are said to be quite convincing. At the time of the arrival" of the Woodstock officers "Jerry" was the only woman in the place and it is believed that she had received a tip that a raid was to be made and thru this information the inmates had time to make their get-away. The officers remained at the place about two hours and during that time forty-one men and boys had cabled. Mrs. Morrison was taken into custody by Mfc- Henry county law officers on a similar charge about a year ago, at which time she appeared before Judge C. P.

THE value of the physical assets behind the securities of a Company is one of the first things the conservative investor inquires into. • . ^ The value of the property used and useful in the public utility functions of this Company was found to be $60,759,000 as of January 1, 1923, by the Illinois Commerce Commission in entering it& final order in the Company's rate proceedings. ^ The Company at that time had other properties such as its water power sites, coal properties and other assets valued by the Company at $8,088,255 which were not included in the Commission's valuation because they were not used in actual production of service. The Company's total properties, therefore, had at that time a combined value of $68,847,255 and this total has since been increased because the Company has added materially to its properties. It is interesting to note that totrf valuaf . ?
