Pouse, state's attorney, McHenry County. Pouse states that the McHenry County Board has voted to grant licenses to dance halls outside of cities and villages in that county, but has added the requirement that such dance halls shall not be operated on Sundays. This attempted regulation, opinion holds, is void. The opinion states: "Of course, the provisions of the criminal code with reference to the disturbance of the peace may be invoked in case of complaint. However, such complaints could not legally be made under the Dance Halls and Road Houses act. The conviction of a proprietor of a dance hall or road house of a crime or misdemeanor would entitle the chairman of the board to cancel the license of such proprietor to operate a dance hall, and in that manner the people may control the operation on Sundays of such dance halls to the extent of preventing the noisy operation thereof. It should be remembered, however, that so far as the dance halls and roach-houses act goes no complaint can ^legally |be made against the proprietor just because he is operating his place on Sunday." At the last regular session of the board of supervisors it was voted to reconsider the proposition at the June meeting of the board. The vote was close, both sides of the question have backers with the side to reconsider having the edge. It seems the question of reconsid ering will now be out of order, since the ruling of the attorney general. There has been considerable comment on the question throughout the county and the ruling from Spring field will probably1 put an end to the drive against Sunday dancing in McHenry county. DR.

Dr. Rand also told the Kiwanians of his plans for the building of a hospital in McHenry, work on which, he said, was expected to be started in a short time. The total cost of the hospital, according to the doctor, is to be $350,000, of which the sum of $92,000 is already in hand. The speaker stated that the hospital is to be run on a strictly commercial basis. The site was given as adjacent to St. Mary's church on the south and west. The plans call for 105 rooms, 100 of which are to be private rooms. Dr. Rand set the date for the work to be well under way as the first of November.' The hospital is to be under the entire direction of the Franciscan order of Nuns. No laity nurses will be on the staff. A special service was outlined for those afflicted with eye, ear, nose and throat diseases, as, the speaker, stated, the people of this section of the country are supposed to be greatly afflicted with these peculiar diseases for some, as yet unknown, reason. The hospital will also be arranged into wards, including a maternity ward of twentyfive rooms. President J. Scott Matthews, acting as toastrtiaster, introduced the speakers to the Kiwanians and their wives and guests. Another speaker of the evening was Senator William Thone, who spoke on various topics. As the senator was not expecting to be called on to make a speech, he was not prepared on any particular subject^ but entertained the banqueters by reciting many hapfy experiences and told sev ilnthusiastic Road Meeting Is Held Monday An enthusiastic road meeting was held at the offices of Stoffel & Reihan- ^perger in West McHenry Monday evening, attended by representatives from McHenry, Crystal Lake and Richmond.
