STEWART Republican Candidate for REPRESENTATIVE EIGHTH SENATORIAL DISTRICT McHenry, Boone and Lake Counties To the Voters of McHenry, Lake and Boone Counties: On April 13,1926, it will be your duty to nominate on the Republican ticket three representatives to represent you in the next legislature. • - . Being a candidate for that office I am asking for your vote and support. For the information of those who do not know me personally I wish to give you a' brief outline of my public careen In the year 1914 I was appointed chief deputy Sheriff of McHenry County arid served in that capacity for four years, at the end of which I took over the duties of Sheriff having been nominated and elected by a large majority. V At the expiration of my term as Sheriff the voters of McHenry County again honored me as their choice for County Treasurer, which office I have conducted in a manner which, I believe, has made me many friends and loyal supporters throughout McHenry County. In asking for vonr support for Representative I do so with the belief that I can give fou as good service in the legislature as I have given fhe people of McHenry County the past twelve years in other positions of trust. I am not a candidate of any political organization and if elected will go to Springfield not bound by any prom ises or obligations. v "Owing to the fact that, as Treasurer, of McHenry County, this is my busiest time of the year in the collection of taxes it may be impossible for me to call upon you personally, so I trust you will not consider this a neglect on niv part and will give me y(|ur loyal support, which I believe I am entitled to. ? Yours trul^, ROY J. STEWART, Republican Candidate for Representative. Approval of the taxation amend* ment to the state constitution has been given by the 'department of research and statistics of the Illinois State Teachers' Association and the report was announced, to McHenry county by Mrs. Ethel C. Coe, county superintendent last week. The amendment is for the purpose of permitting other methods of taxation to the general assembly than those already provided in'the constitution. It aims to give the general assembly power .<> revise the taxation methods so that income taxes, real property taxes and personal property taxes can be more fair and uniform. The amendment will be voted on in the general election on next November 2. Genoa City, township, DeKalb County, and the state have come in for their share of grief the past week due to the bottom falling out of the road between B. C. Awe's corner and the cement road at Chamberlain's. It all happended so quickly that no one was the wiser until car after car got stuck in a few hour's time. The fall of an abnormal amount of rain together wth the excessive traffic to which, the rcr.j k.J I at i «iubji'j.rated during .;*«? past few months is thought to have paused the sudden collapse. Downtown Elgin is to be enhanced with a strictly modern, architecturally beautiful, and perfectly appointed six-story office building and two-story model garage in connection, according to plans for a $250,000 building project, outlined recently by -a group of prominent business and professonal men of the city. These men, realizing the need for modern office space and in Keeping with the general business growth within the community, have organized the Elgin Professional Building Corporation for the pur;; . of financing the project. The lai stock of the corpmution is $100,000. Sometime between Wednesday and Friday evenings, March 17 and 19, someone presumably broke in to the NEW 1,000,000--KILOWATT - ELECTRIC STATION To be Erected on the Indiana- Illinois State line Plans for a new electric generating station on the shore of Lake Michigan on the Indiana side of the Indiana Illinois state line, were announced Monday. This station is planned to have a larger capacity than any steam operated electric plant now in existence-- 1,000,000 (Kilowatts--approximately 1,335,000 horse power. The first unit will have a rated capacity of 2*00,000 Kilowatts -- approximately 267,000 horse power--or over three and one-half times the capacity of the largest steam turbo-generators now in use. • The station will be owned and opeiated by the State Line Generating Company. Application for incorporation of the company w^s filed with the Secretary of State- of Indiana at Indianapolis Monday. This company will be exclusively a "manufacturer" and wholesaler .of electrical energy--a producing hut not a marketing or distributing>&Qipany. It; will produce electrical energyv"f»r the interconnected electric light and power ^ companies of the Chicago-- Illinois--Indiana industrial district, which already has, in the words of the late Dr. Steinmetz, "the greatest pool of power in the world." The companies which will take energy from State Line station are: The Commonwealth Edison Company, serving the City of Chicago. Public Service Company of Northern Illinois, serving upwards of two hundred communities in fifteen counties^ in northeastern Illinois, including the suburban territory immediately surroundirig C'hi< a-iro. Northern Indiana Public Service Company (formerly the Calumet Gas and Electric Company) and the Northern Indiana Gas and Electric Company, whicTi is soon to be merged anything yet attempted in this country. * The Commonwealth Edison company of Chicago has already ordered six miles of 132,200-volt underground cable for a connection with the 132,- 000- volt overhead transmission system of the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois. While this step is not directly connected with the State Liije station enterprise, it is collaterally related to it . % Minerals in Illinois Minerals production in Illinois amounts to more than $1,000,000 for every working day, says a recent bulletin issued by the Illinois Chamber of Commerce." This adds that Illinois produces thirty-one commercial minerals and makes the claim that the mineral output in Illinois, in dollars and cents, is more than four times that of Colorado. It points out that this is not in gold or silver but in coal petroleum, building stone, gravel, crushed rock, glass sands, clay products, portland cement and other products enormously valuable in building cities and industries. .

The initial expenditure will be approximately $25,000,000. Four additional units of^not less than 200, 000 kilowatts each are | contemplated--these to be installed ff-om time to time as required-- for an ultimate capacity of at least 1,000,000 kilowatts, or 1,335,000 horse power. This will mean a single station with ' generating capacity practically equal to the combined generating capacity in the Chicago-- Illinois-- Indiana industrial area at this time. "State Line station," said Samuel Insull, in announcing the plans for it, is in the interest of lower investment and lower operating costs and therefore in the interest of more economical power for industry. From that point of view, it is simply another step in the application of the economic principle of mass production. "From the viewpoint of ele<£fiic service, the State Line Enterprise is preparing for the future power needs of the Chicago, Illinois, Indiana industrial area and contigous territory. "The growth in this area, as we look back upon it. has been phenomenal. It is quite likely td be dwarfed by the future. "Realization of the future'* possibilities will be hastened by an adequate stfpply of power. Hence we take some pardonable pride in believing that the State Line and similar enterprises contribute tangibly to community growth and prosperity.' Development of the State Line station is expected to be accompanied by development in underground transmission at high voltage far beyond VOTE FOR DON F.
