This meeting is called for the purpose of explaining fully any questions regarding the proposed park district. Rodney Brandon, of Moosehart, who is widely known and experienced in public work of this kind will be the speaker. Any questions that you may wish to ask will be answered, as we are very anxiotfs that the voters be fully informed in every particular, regarding this park district. We want to correct the wrong ideas that some people have formed because of wrong information. On Saturday, Feb. 19, you wil^tte called upon to decide, at a special election, whether or not you are for or against this proposed park district. Hie McHenry Kiwanis club and others associated in sponsoring the movement of bringing this matter to a vote are unanimous in their belief that this is a progressive movement, in the right direction, toward the proper development of this region. TTie committee in charge of the preliminary work has selected as a park district, 40 square miles of territory in McHenry and Nunda townships. All of this land lies within two miles of either the Fox River or the lakes in this region. ' This being a large district, it will be easily seen that the burden of tax- Supervisor S. H. Freund of Mc ation will be extremely small. The, Henry township received word from property owners in Nunda township I Springfield Wednesday noon to call a should realize that they are fortunate j meeting for the purpose of listening in being Included in this district as • all those who have anything to say greatest possible bond issue against this $1000 valuation would be $30, running for twenty years. The interest on this $30 at 5 per cent would be $1.50 a year. The bonds would be retired within twenty years. Thus the average payment each year on this $30 portion of the bonds would be $1.50. It will be seen, therefore, that by adding $2.67 maintenance _ cost and $1.50, the average bond issue payment, and $1.50 interest charge, the total cost would be $5.67 a year on each $1000 of assessed valuation. It must also be remembered that this would be reduced by the cutting down of interest payments after each payment on the bonds, and in this summer resort region the money received from concessions would in a 'short time make the parks selfsupporting. You, who are interested in learning the exact cost to you, can find this by taking your last tax receipt, find your total assessed valuation and multiply that by .00567. This will give you the greatest possible tax that you will be called upon to pay any year. Be sure and decide who you want for park commissioners. You can vote for five. Get together and decide on the five men you want, and write their names on the ballot. We believe that creation of & park system will be very valuable to all of the property owners and voters throughout »the park district. We urgently request you to attend the mass meeting and on election day, Saturday, f^lh. 19, be sure to vote "Yes." COMMITTEE. GOLDEN WEDDING RINGWOOD COUPLE MR. AND MRS. JAMES LADD MARRIED 50 YEARS ROUTE 61 PUBLIC , HEARING, FEB. 17 Meeting Will Be Held at McHenry Community High School On Next Thursday -• they will have the benefit of fhe taxing power of the highly valued lake property in the district, which will be a vital factor in the development of the Nunda portion of the district. The farm and property owners in the northern end of this proposed i;i regard to the routing of State Highway No. 61, which extends from the Wisconsin state line through Richmond, McHenry and dowp to the junction with Route 19, east of Crystal Lake. This public hearing will be held at district will also benefit greatly as McIlenry Community high school much of this land will in the next few years be subdivided and sold for good prices. The farmer who owns land lying back from the river or lakes should be in favor of this park district because whoever buys this land, will have a means of getting to the water through the park, which may be located nearby. This will certainly increase the value of his land and make it much more desirable. It is a fact, beyond dispute, that improvements in either city or rural communities, such as schools, churches, sewer and water systems, paved roads, parks, playgrounds and golf courses, increase the value of the property in such communities far beyond the cost of those improvements. You should also know that it is a fact that certain interests in the northern part of this proposed district have an organization that has already subscribed and pledged $30,000 for the erection of a new dam to be constructed in the lake region. They have already applied to the State Department for permission to construct this dam. What can you do to stop a movement of this nature? Will the building of a dam in this region and the eventual abandonment of the old dam increase the value of your property or will it be just as desirable for auditorium, Thursday afternoon, Feb 17, at 3 o'clock. The meeting is called at the request of the State Department of Public Works and Buildings, of which Col. C. R. Miller is director. Col. Miller and Chief Engineer Frank T. Sheets are both expected to be present. This will be good news to the people of the entire district all along this proposed route, as the calling of a public hearing means that the actual letting of the road is in sight . JOHNSBURG TO HAVE BIG MINSTREL SHOW Performance Will Be Given in St. John's Parish Hall, Snnday Night, Feb. 20. •- »•> One of the finest minstrel shows ever held in this vicinity will be held Sunday night, February 20, at St John's Parish hall in Johnsburg. The show, which will be held for the benefit of St. John's church, will be given by the Social Circle club of Chicago, and the young people of St. John's parish. The players have been rehearsing the show for the past six weeks, with a cast of twenty-five. The finest singers and comedians have been selected and this show is different than summer homes if the water level is J any other minstrel show, inasmuch as lowered to such an extent that the it has a mixed cast of ladies and river will no longer be deep enough' gentlemen, and is composed, of play- GRADE for launches or power boats? We believe that a strong organization such as this park district would be the answer to any such situation and could prevent any move of this nature. Think this over. This park district is being formed as a means of providing a park or a system of parks as a benefit to the entire district. These will be small parks and in no way affect any other property in the district. If this region becomes a park district, your property will be private property, just as it is now, and in fact you will not be bothered as much by the ever-growing number of picnic parties and campers, because you will have provided public parks for this very purpose. The cost of obtaining the land for these parks and their upkeep is very small, when compared with the benefits to be received. The taxpayer in McHenry now paying $50 a year in taxes would find that his portion of the upkeep of this park system would be about $2.15. His share of the bond issue would be about $24. payable with the interest within twenty years. '• By using the following examples you can find out exactly what you will be paying in taxes toward your own system of parks. l4»e greatest possible tax that can be levied for the maintenance and upkeep of the park system is two and two-thirds mills on each dollar of assessed valuation of the taxable property in the district. The greatest possible bonding cost cannot excited three cents on each dollar of assessed valuation. These bonds must be retired within twenty years. Assuming, for an example any piece of property having an assessed valuation of $1000. If the limit of the taxing power was always used by the park board, the annual tax levy for j Dept Store, maintenance would $2.67. Thej Feb. 17. ers from Johnsburg and also of Chicago. The Social Circle has a large following with the people of McHenry. They will be remembered for the plays they presented at St Patrick's church hall about three years ago. They presented "The Red Lamp," and "The Empty House," and were well received by the people of this city. Members of the club have been staging shows of their own origination for the past eight or nine years in Chicago and neighboring cities, and this show promises to be the best they ever produced. The people of McHenry are invited to witness this show. They are assured of a wonderful time and an evening tfell spent. The price of admission wiill be 50c, reserved seats at 75c.

ATTEND the 9c sale at Erickson's beginning Thursday, Relatives and Friends Gathered Monday at the Home to Extend Their Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. James C. Ladd celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their home in Ringwood on Monday, Feb. 7, 1927. This was a perfect day for the happy couple, who with their relatives and friends gathered around them, lived over again the fifty golden years of their life spent together with many reminiscences of past events and old friendships. - Through the years which now have seemed to pass so quickly thte* companionship of these two people has been so true and their lives so upright and steadfast that their life is one of happiness among old friends and congenial surroundings. The day was an ideal one and even the sunlight could have been no j nearer golden than it was as it shone i upon the many guests who called dur-' ing the day. | At noon a three-course dinner was enjoyed by the relatives of Mr. and Mrs. Ladd. The golden color scheme j was carried out in all the decorations j with the home beautifully decorated , in gold color festoons of crepe paper and wonderful bouquets of golden calendulas and ferns. The table also was very pretty with its settings of gold, and nut cups, place cards and even the salads, cakes and ice cream carried out the prevailing color scheme. e During the afternoon reception, scores of friends from far and near "ailed to greet them and extend congratulations and best wishes, and; everyone was requested to register be* fore leaving. The friends who spent a social afternoon in the exchange of reminiscences were served with ics cream and cake and on their departure left many wishes for the continuance of happiness in the golden years yet to come to this worthy couple During the day they received many beautiful gifts from relatives and friends, including a gift of gold from their friends and neighbors at Ringwood, and a bouquet of fifty beautiful roses. Mr. Ladd was presented with a gold pencil from the Masonic lodge which will indelibly inscribe on mem ory's page the names of all the friends of tltis occasion. They also received scores of cards, telegrams and messages of congratulations from friends unable to be with them. At the noonday organ recital from radio station WHT, they were complimented with a wedding march and Ithe old well known song, "Put On Your Old Gray Bonnet" was played Jor them. \ Elizabeth Harrison and James Ladd were married at the Harrison home in Nunda township on Feb. 7, 1877, by the Reverend R. K. Todd of Woodstock, founder of Todd's seminary. They have both lived their entiffe lifetime in this vicinity with the exception of about twelve years, from 1885 to 1897, which they spent in Iowa, and ttecause of this there is probably no me who, is better known in McHenry county nor more highly respected than this estimable couple. Elizabeth Ladd is the daughter of Francis and Katherine Harrison and greetings of their many friends made the passing of this golden milestone one which will never be forgotten. Out of town relatives and guests who spent the day with Mr. and Mrs. Ladd were: Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Southwick and daughter, Arline, of Williams Bay, Wis.; .Harold Price, of Delavan, Wis.; Miss Lizzie Norton, of Burlington, Wis.; Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Hughes and Mrs. Clara Schneider, of McHenry, and Mr. and Mrs. Ellery Harrison, Mrs. Clata Harrison and Mrs. Libbie Allen of Woodstock. a. ; Announcement The ctiy of McHenry, during the past few years, has attracted the attention of not only our own residents as to what we have in the way of natural and acquired resources and advantages, but strangers who make this city their rendezvous during the summer months are increasing in number from year to year, all of which attests* to McHenry's popularity with tourists as well as our own home residents. In order to get as many views as possible as to why McHenry is a desirable place in which to live, as well as a desirable place for lovers of nature to enjoy rest and recreation, The Plaindealer is now planning to offer cash prizes for the best essays on this "subject. Details of the plans now in mind cannot be given out at the present time, but this will be done in a week or tvo. In the meantime we ask our readers to be prepared to answer the question: "Why is McHenry a desirable permanent place in which to live, as well as a place in. which to enjoy rest and recreation during the summer months?" Think it over--your answer may win a cash prize. WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITEMS 0F1NTEREST TAKEN FROM COLUMNS OF OUR EXCHANGES Assortment of Newsy Items Condensed Form For Busy People la a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS COMMUNITY ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH DEBT IS REDUCED TO $33,50* The sum of $5,500 was recently paid on the church debt by St. Patrick's parish, which reduced the debt to $33,500 on the building. Father Wm. A. O'Rouke, who came to the parish ten months ago, has been able to accomplish this through his efforts and is to be congratulated on the showing made. He expects to further reduce the indebtedness down to $30,000 during the coming year by, paying off $3,500 more. The beautiful edifice was built at an original cost of $85,000 at a time when Father McEvoy was pastor. The members of the parish take great pride in their house of worship and have responded very liberally to the appeals of the pastors to reduce the indebtedness. 7 ; ' Five Hundred Club Tfc® Five Hundred club- was pleasantly entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nick Weingart on Tuesday evening. Five hundred furnished the evening's entertainment with Peter Frett winning the gents' prize and Mrs. Weingart the ladies' prize. Lunch was served at the close of the evening's entertainment. At a meeting held by the members of the Bald Knob Community Improvement and Protective association, at Bald Knob Hotel on Sunday, Jan. 30, a resolution was brought up to have the secretary of this organization form a community organization for the purpose of making a drive with a petition to have the State of Illinois either enlarge the present hatchery at Spring Grove or build a new one or restock the water surrounding this community with fish enough to supply the sport for the people who w6uld prefer to come to this community and enjoy their outings instead of taking long and tiresome rides into other states just because we haven't the fish in our lakes and rivers that these same people spend millions of dollars for every year in the states they go to which we in this community could just as well share if we provided them with the same sport. The State of Illinois would not be the loser, but would gain, as there would be an increase in demand for Illinois licenses, which would naturally fall to nothing at the rate the fish are going, with so many people coming to thfs community on account of the good roads and the slogan would then be. "No fish, no license, no people no money." Now is the time to restock our waters before it is too late, of which value to this community will be millions of dollars and not one cent's worth of taxes placed against the property. The petition will ask for over two billion fish per year and if Authorities in Will county are erecting what is considered the most modern gallows in the world, with a capacity of three executions at one time, in preparation for the hanging of six convicts convicted of slaying Deputy Warden Peter Klein of Stateville penitentiary during a jail break last May. The hangings will take place Friday of this week. Estimates place a value of $10,000 on the property left by "Pegleg" Pete Marsekian, Waukegan's "queerest character" who died recently. Indications are that his property may fall to the ownership of a negress who after wedding Pete lived with him one day and then disappeared, if she can be located. Agitation for a state armory building in Elgin, launched four years ago with the formal purchase of a site, seemes destined sooner or later to be crowned with success, following the introduction of a bill by Representative Frank McCarthy in the house at Springfield Feb. 2, asking an appropriation of $100,000 for armory building -purposes in this city.
