MCHENRY VOLUME 52 McHENRY, ILLINOIS, THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1927 s.-t-sF ~ . . . „ , V *, a , 'J •" V ; - ;l| * V* Jm ' ' . ' ^ No. 44 VOTE FOR BOND . ISSUE APRIL 19 CITY COUNCIL EXPLAINS SITUATION BAND PROPOSAL 00 OVER THE TOP lUeUcdness of City Must Be M«t-- Bond Issue Provides Cheapest Way for Taxpayers _ In the proposed bond issue of twenty thousand dollars, which is to be voted on by the voters of McHenry -on April 19th, there may be some discussion as to whether or not the bond issue is the proper way to raise money for necessary expenses of the city of McHenry. The city owes up to this time in the neighborhood of twenty thousand dollars, all of which is bearing interest at the rate of at least six per cent, and which the city has to pay. In the first place the twenty thousand dollars for the bonds proposed are bearing interest at five per cent, which should when sold, bring the full value of the bonds from any .bond house buying them. A recent example might be cited where Richmond sold twelve thousand dollars for bonds used for their water works drawing five per cent interest, which were sold at a premium of several hundred dollars over and above the face value of the bonds. As to the method of raising the additional money to pay off these bonds it might be explained that these twenty thousand dollars in bonds will be paid at the rate of two thousand dollars a year upon the principal, and the interest due on the unpaid bonds in addition. This amount of money will be paid every year by means of taxes on the property of the people of McHenry, in such an amount as to raise enough additional to pay off the bondrf and the interest from year to year. The question arises then, "Would it he better to raise the valuation of the property of McHenry instead of creating a bond issue?" We do not believe there is any question but what the valuation of McHenry for the purpose of taxes is low, the valuation for the present year being in exact figures $600,024. This valuation a year or so ago was fifty thousand dollars more. It is now as low as it has been for the last few years. The total tax rate for the City of McHenry is now $6.78. This is made up of the following item*: Corporate rate ----$1-58 .65 .63 .14 * .66 1.61 1.53 Tii. Kiwanis'Club e regular weekly dinner meeting of the McHenry Kiwanis club was held at the McHenry House dining room last Thursday evening, with a splendid attendance. Prof Elmer Koerner, of the Community high school rendered several fine selections on the cornet, accompanied by Miss Dorothy Knox at the piano. The club members decided to appoint Mr. Koerner its "official cornetist." The club will meet this evening in regular session at the Justen Hotel, at 6:30 o'clock. All members are urged to be present.

Figuring this tax of $6.78 on the valuation of $600,000, would figure that McHenry pays a total tax for all these purposes of $40,680 in round figures, of which tax the round sum of $9,480 is paid into the city treasury for corporate purposes (this being the corporate rate of $1.58 on the $6000,000 valuation), so that out of . .the total of $40,680 the City of McHenry gets $9480. ,If the valuation of the City of McHenry was raised for instance $100,- 000, this would mean the city tax payers would have to pay on that $100,000 an additional $6780 being at the rate of $6.78, of which amount the sum of $1580 would go to the City of McHenry, and the balance go for other purposes as above specified. If, on the other hand, the twenty thousand dollar bond issue is put into effect the greatest amount of money that would have to be raised in any one year would be two thousand dollars for the payment of the bond, and .one thousand dollars for the payment of interest on the whole, making a total of three thousand dollars for the greatest amount payable in any one year. This three thousand dollars to be raised on a valuation of $600,000 means an additional tax rate of 50 cents. So if the corporate rate was raised 50 cents in addition to the $1.58, making a total of $2.08, then the people of McHenry would pay the additional three thousand dollars (beinsr the greatest amount required) the first year (a sufficient amount to take care of the bond issue). As the lt. TiLL™ .SS Henry would have to mb, thejium of $13560, and the greater part of this would go for other purposes Friends of Municipal Band Predict Measure Will Carry By Good Majority 11m municipal band proposal will go over the top. It will carry by a! substantial majority. This is the claim of friends and proponents of the municipal band proposal which goes to the voters at the election on April fifth. The proposal calls for a small levy of two mills for municipal band purposes. "The municipal band proposal will go over the top flying," says the friends of the band measure. "'People are talking about it on the streets and in the stores, and from the manner of their talk, it will go over by a substantial margin. A good live band,, made strong by munincipal support, is one of the best investments Ire can make in a community way, nd we feel that every citizen who goes to the polls to vote for municipal candidates will also remember the band proposition and act accordingly." Approximately fifty cents per capita per year is what McHenry's municipal band would cost its citizens under the plan to be voted on at the coming election, according to an estimate by advoactes of the municipal band. The figure, is so small that it cannot be really called a tax, they say, is based on actual experiences in towns where this law has been passed and is in actual operation. Approval by the voters of this levy, they further point out, would give the community something that would prove a great impetus to civic progress and one which is felt will be a distinct contrbiution to the happiness of the community. In calling upon voters not to fail to vote for the bind proposal, its friends also take pains to explain that the money thus collected is not merely turned over to the band, but that its administration is in the hands of a specially formed band commission working under the direction of the city administration. Reports on this fund are published at intervals, as is the case in other funds under municipal supervision so that the public knows at all times how this money is being spent. N Something like a half dozen communities in this immediate vicinity are to vote on a similar band proposition at the coming elections. Proponents of the measure here say that it would be a distinct set back to thhe town not to put the band proposition over when communities on all sides of us are turning to the idea as the most equitable arrangement for providing band entertainment for the community. CLEAN UP WEEK - APRIL 1010 16 KIWANIS CLUB SPONSORS MOVEMENT ClttkefU Are Asked to Co-operate In Effort To Make City Clean and Healthful The week of April 10 to 16 has been set aside by the McHenry Kiwanis club as "Clean-up) Week," according to an announcement made by Peter W.

HOME Weil-Known Resident Succumbs After Two Years' Illness, at Age of 61 Years M. J. Freund, 61 years old, died at his home on Pearl street, Monday, April 4, 1927, after a lingering illness of nearly two years. He was well known in this community, having lived here and at Johnsburg all of his lifetime, where he was a familiar figure on our streets. He was an industrious conscientious worker, a kind husband and father and was respected by all who knew him. The deceased was born at Johnsburg on October 4, 1865, being a son of Peter and Susan Freund. His childhood was spent in the vicinity of street cleaner is employed by the city Johnsburp and he received hia edu council and he has been doing some good work during the past few weeks. There is still much to be done in the streets, but this will be taken care of just as rapidly as possible. But how about the back yards of the citizens' homes? Some are spick and span right now. However, there cation there and at McHenry. For some years he engaged in farming, but during his later years he followed the occupation of teamster.

After the refuse has been gathered Mr. Freund was a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters and a devout member of St. Mary's church, whose teachings he endeavored at all times to follow.

Work will be rushed on the structure which when completed will mean the realization of an ideal long held in this community. The structure when completed and equipped will represent an expenditure of more than $150,000 and will be one of the most modern institutions of its kind in this section of the state.

The ceremony was performed Monday evening, April 4, at 9 o'clock in the operator's booth at the Empire theatre with Rev. C. W. Loughlin, pastor of the M. E. church, speaking the words that made the happy couple man and wife. There being no show on Monday evenings, the well known and popular Empire theatre was put to a newer and much more romatic use than that of entertaining numberless people by means of moving pictures. Carrying out a plan, which had remained a fascinating memory to him since his early childhood, Mr. Woodward hastily arranged the setting for this very romantic scene and, although the first April shower of this season was raging outside, all within was light and happiness. Rev. C. W. Loughlin proved equal to the unexpected call and when all was in readiness the happy bride-to-be touched the button which released the film comedy, "meet the husband,"-- which was shown at the Empire on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, and during this very appropriate picture the wedding ceremony was performed amid the presence of several friends.

If, on the other hand, the valuation of McHenry property was raised high enough to pay this three thousand dollars to the City of McHenry, the valuation would have to be raised approximately $200,000. This would have to mean that McHenry would pay in additional taxes on the increased valuation of two hundred thousand dollars, the sum of thirteen thousand five hundred sixty dollars ($13,560) of which City of McHenry would get the sum of $3,160, and more than $10,000 would go to State, County, Town, Road and Bridge, High School, Grade School, and Fox River Conservancy purposes, so that it can easily be figured that the City needing $20,000 at this time, it would be more economical to the tax payers of MicHenry to vote a bond issue to have their taxes increased 50 cents, giving the City of McHenry the required $8,000 which would be the total tax of the City of McHenry people would rather than corporate purposes of the City of McHenry. Of course, even if a bond issue is passed, it would not prevent the proper authorities from increasing the valuation of the property in the £ity of McHenry, if they saw fit to do so, and if they thought it was just, but if the city authorities could raise sufficient funds to meet their obligations without having to resort to other means and without having to stir up any valuation argument whatever it would of course, be by far the better way of handling the situation. The bond issue will give B every penny of the additional taxes to the City of McHenry. A higher valuation would give the City of McHenry less than onefourth of the taxes realized by that higher valuation, and the three-fourths would go elsewhere. As a matter of economy to the tax payers of MicHenry, as the cheapest way out of the situation it would have to pay rather than to increase seem that a -tax rate necessary for the valuation of the Town in order | this one purpose, without having to that the City might get this amount, i pay other taxes along with it would as an increase in valuation would in- i be the proper wav ^ do. the total tax the people of Me-j CITY COUNCIL accumulate on the premises at any time. It is a disease breeder and a menance to all residents, especially the children. Make arrangements this year to have all garbage disposed of, is the advise of the health authorities. McHenry has been fortunate in not having to contend with any bad epidemics and we hope that this situation will continue in the future as in the past. Usually these epidemics can be avoided if the citizens will keep their premises free from all unnecessary refuse, etc. The Kiwanis club, therefore, appeals to everyone residing within the corporate limits of the city and also to those nearby, to make an extra ef fort next week to clean up their yards. See if you cannot get a little cleaner than your next door neighbor. The results will be most gratifying to all, and it may be the means of saving a life.

Worth Are Candidates For City Treasurer Monday night, April 4, at midnight, all petitions for city officers had to be filed with the city clerk, R. F. Conway, A few minutes before the midnight hour the clerk was advised that it would be necessary for him to entertain the petitions of candidates for mayor and city treasurer. Three tickets will be in the field in the city election to be held Tuesday, April 19. The Citizens ticket will have but one name on it, being that of Peter W. Frett for mayor. Mir. Frett filed his petition several days ago and an announcement was made in last week's issue of the Plaindealer of his candidacy. Up until Monday evening it began to look as if Mr. FYett would have no oppostion for mayor. But, as mentioned above, just before the closing time for filing, a petition was given the city clerk, signed by the proper number of voters, which puts the name of John R. Knox at the head of the Taxpayers ticket for mayor. Mr. Knox has had experience in city affairs, being a former member of the city Council, representing his ward as an alderman. He is well known among the citizens of McHenry being at the head of the Knox Motor Sales, Ford dealers. R. F. Conway will have no opposition for the office of city clerk. Mr. Conway has served very efficiently in that capacity for the past two years and his re-election will find approval among the citizens of the cj£y. His name will be found on the Independent ticket. A contest is on for the office of city treasurer. N. H. Petesch, the present treasurer, cannot succeed himself, according to law. Two candidates will be in the field, being Gerald J. Carey, vice-president of the West McHenry State Bank, and Jack Worth, public accountant. Mr. Carey is running on the Independent ticket, while Mr. Worth's name will be found on the Taxpayers ticket. John J. McEvoy is the only eaadithe" home on^is~Bon~sTett* Songs i date for the office of police magistrate. This is a vacancy to be filled due to the resignation of Peter J. Heimer, who was elected a year age. In the first ward Peter J. Doherty will be returned as alderman without opposition, as will also Robert J. Frisby in the third ward, both names appearing on the Taxpayers ticket. A new face will appear at the council table next year. Herman J. Kreutzer is the only candidate -for alderman from the second ward, having filed on the Independent ticket. Thus it will be seen that the only fight for the city jobs is between Peter W. Frett and John R. Knox for mayor and Jack W. Worth and Gerald J. Carey for treasurer. The people will vote on two propositions at the election on Tuesday, April 19, as follows: "Shall the City of McHenry borrow the sum of $20,000 and issue bonds The modern dance has developed by leaps and bounds.--Our Navy.
