? ' Volume 32 • . McHENEY, ILLINOIS. THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1927 No. 46 BUILDING BOOM STILL CONTINUES JACOB JUSTEN ft SONS TO REMODEL BUILDING Centerville Furniture and Undertaking firm Plans Extensive Improvements to Building ' Jacob Justen & Sons' undertakers •fed furniture dealers, have started Work oh the improvement and enlarging of their store on the corner of Green and Elm streets. The present partitions in the store -Will be torn out .making one large gttom and the south wall of the building will also be removed and. the hew one built, which will join the building with the one occupied by the Thomas Bolger drug store. This will use the six feet of space which is now only an alley between the two buildings and the stairway leading to the flat over the drug store will then be enclosed. By this means the actual space for a show room will be almost double the present space and the building when completed will measure 42x80 feet. An iron beam will extend the full length and give strength where the partition will be removed «ed this will be replaced by three iron posts. ' fronts of both store buildings, which are owned by Mr. Justen, will be torn down and an attractive brick veneer front will be put up, giving the appearance of one large building. The entrance will be changed to the center of the building and large modern plate glass windows will be set in copper frames. These windows will give ample room for display purposes. The Pittsburg Glass company will install the copper front and will send « man to design the most appropriate and attractive finish. A large window will also be put in just around the earner on the north side of the building, which will give a corner display «Bd add as much as anything to the modern appearance of the building. An addition will be built on the rear of the building, 20 by 42 feet in site, part of which will add to the display room and part of it will be used as a work room. The addition will also consist of two stories, the upper of which will be used as a casket room. This will be so arranged that curtains and drapes will conceal the caskets so that the room may be used for funeral services when so desired. An elevator, 6 by 8 feet in size, will be installed and on this the furniture will be taken to the basement where all the unpacking will be done and the furniture again brought to the first floor. The excavating for the basement lit* already been completed by Tony fYeund and the Artificial Stone Co., is laying the foundation. Jacob Schaeffer is doing the carpenter work. A large furnace, which will heat the store and the flat above, will be installed in the basement and a new chimney will be built. Mir. Justen, who has carried on the business for many years alone, has now taken his two sons, George and Albert in comoany with him and they are using their best interest in the improvement of the business for the accommodation of their customers. They have long felt the necessity for larger floor space and with the completion of their improvements the building will be a most modern one. They carry a large stock of about $14 ,000 worth of furniture and it requires a large floor space to show this amount of house furnishings to good aovantaee. Although the store will be somewhat crowded during the process of building, th*e proprietors will continue to do business and strive at all times to please and satisfy their patrons. Business is opening up good this spring and they look forward to alrasy season. They hope to have the work completed by July. ' They plan also, to continue with more improvements this fall, at whkj thne they will add 30 feet to the rear of +he drug store. Mr. Schaeffer has been busy at Pistakee Bay for some time, where he has about completed a $20,000 home for L. C. Herring' of Chicago, which will be occupied next month. He has also done all the building at the Buehler estate, but is ready now to start carpenter work for Mr. Justen, which, when completed, will give Centerville another most- attractive, modern and uprto-date business place. A five-room frame bungalow is being built in Augustburgr for Ferdinand Frett of Chicago. The building is already enclosed and the work is progressing rapidly and it is expected to be completed next month. The siding Is' being put on this week. Stephen H. Freund is doing the carpenter work Frett Brothers had the contract for thp eement work and H. E. Buch will install the plumbing and lights. Mr. Frett and family will occupy the I*5ome when completed. The house on the old Huemann homestead. now ovmed by Fred Huemann, which was destroyed by fire a -ghort- tirrip ago. has been replaced with a large frame huildinsr. This .new house was built over the same <{ptuidation and is composed of seven rooms and a bath and will be a modem farm home. Fred Karls had Cfcargre of the carpenter work and the ffc-ett Brothers did the cement work, ftie house is now completed and Mr arid Mrs. Joe Smith expect to move in Ijjtxt week. On Thursday Fred Karls will commence work at the Orchard Beach hotel, which was recently purchased by the Orchard Beach Golf club. This wijl a. large dicing SIXTEEN VOTES CAST AT SCHOOL ELECTION With No Contests On For School Directors, Very Few Votes ; Were Cast 1 A very imall percentage of the voters went to the polls Saturday afternoon to cast their ballots for members of the school board for the grade school and also the Community high school, due to the fact that there was no opposition. At the grade school election there were only seven votes cast for J. E. Pufahl for president of the board and George H. Johnson and FYed Boger for members. At the Community high school election this number of votes was exceeded by two, making the total of votes cast nine, for A. E. Nye and E. E. Bassett. Acording to custom the school boards will soon be organized and get down to the work of engaging the teachers for the coming year. The enrollment of the grade school has increased somewhat during this STATE SELECTS ; PROPOSED ROUTE FROM ROUTE 19 TO STATE LINE Full Legal Description for North and South Highway is Given Out By Department In a communication from the Department of Public Works and Buildings, received at the Plaindealer office this week, signed by C. R. Miller, director, and Frank T. Sheets, chief highway engineer and acting superintendent of highways, is announced a preference for the location of Routes 60 and 61, which is the route from the Wisconsin state line and connecting up with Route 19, east of Crystal Lake. A full legal description of the proposed route is given below: Having investigated all of the proyear and now stands around 166 for j I^se<i locatiOTis for Bond Issue Route the eight grades; while that of the • an° between the Wisconsin high school has barely held its own this year and now averages about 138. The largest Senior class in the history of the high school will graduate this spring, turning out thirtysix students, who will have completed their high school course. Last year the class was almost as large, having an enrollment of thirty-five students. This causes a noticeable decrease in the enrollment of the high school for the new year, which is just about met by the number of freshmen entering school each year. This year it is expected that there will be eighty-two students elegible to enter high school in this community district, but probably less than one-half of this number will enroll as freshmen. With the excellent opportunities for an education afforded by our high school, which is on the accredited list of the State university, the young people should be given the full benefit of these advantages. CITY ELECTION NEXT TUESDAY Every Voter Should Be Sure to Cast His or Her Vota on the $20,000 Bond Issue Tuesday April 19, is the date of the city election. Specimen ballots will be found in other pages of this issue. Contests exist only on two of the city offices, mayor and treasurer. The fight for mayor is between Peter W. Frett and John R. Knox, while the candidates for treasurer are Gerald J. Carey and Jack W. Worth. Every voter should go to the polls Tuesday and be sure to remember to vote the proposition ballots, one of which is the question as to whether the city shall issue bonds in the sum of $20,000 to clear up the indebtedness which the city has to meet. Do not fail to vote on this question. Failure to. vote is the same as voting against the proposition, as it must have a majority of the votes east to carry. Do you want band music in Mc- Henry? If so, vote "For" on the special ballot. This band proposition is also important. If it carries, a small State Line and Route No. 19 and having held a final hearing, the Department of Public Works and Buildings announces a preference for the location described below. This location will be fixed as final for Route Nos. 60 and 61 between the points riamed, only on condition, that the local interests arrange to furnish "without cost to the State such additional right of way as may prove necessary in order that a road of ample width, easy turns, moderate grades and a minimum number of railroad grade crossings may be built. "When final surveys have been made, conveyance forms, descriptions and plats will be furnished by the Department to those who undertake to secure the necessary right of way.

First, I wish to say that I am mak ing no pledges to anyone to get votes except to give McHenry a clean, busi ness-like administration; to do all that is in my power to reduce our debt and let the taxpayers know just how much we are in debt. I will insist that our books be audited by someone not interested and that a true report of our financial conditions be published. I will insist that if the voters see fit to vote the $20,000 bond issue that every dollar of it be used to pay off our debt. I will pledge myself I will never sign any warrant to draw any money from the city treasury until I am satisfied that the money is to be used to pay a legal obligation against the city and the city is getting value received. I will conduct all meetings of the city council in a dignified manner and will insist that everything that takes place be open to the public.

The social season during the winter months has been a very busy one for a community of our size and the card clubs have been sb numerous and the parties so frequent that it might prove interesting to many of our readers to review some of the social doings of the past few months. These little parties and club affairs should promote a spirit of friendliness and goodwill among the members and tend to keep us wide awake and more mindful of the interesting things which take place at different times. It is at these meetings that important questions of the day are discussed and here it is that many opinions are made or lost. With the advent of spring the birds have whispered that several weddings would be the first events to attract our attention after Easter, so don't forget to listen for the wedding bells. Church services and devotionals have claimed the interest of the majority of the people during Lent, but we learn that next week many of the card clubs will resume their meetings. Most of these clubs meet every two weeks and to all appearances Wednesday seems to be the most popular day, although there is scarcely a day in the week that is not selected for a party or two. Different games are played at these parties, varying from five hundred and bridge to bunco and dominoes. There are afternoon clubs, evening clubs, ladies' clubs, men's clubs, girls' clubs, clubs where prizes are given for high scores and clubs where the losers of a series of games are supposed to entertain the winners, and clubs of every kind and description. One of the clubs which held its meetings on Wednesday afternoon was known as the Jolly Sixteen Card club. This club is now composed of only fourteen members, as two members have dropped out, so that each hostess has the privilege of inviting two friends to fill in and make tbe required number. The members of this club are: Gertrude Weber, Mrs. F. O. Gans, Mrs. Josephine Heimer, Mrs. Shnon Michels, Mrs. Joe W. Rothermel, Mrs. A. Krause. Mrs. George Worts. Mrs. Nick Freund, Mrs. N. E. Barbian, Mrs. J. Bickler, Mrs. George Schreiner, MVs. William Bishop, Miss Katie Weber and Mrs. George Bohr. These ladies prove true to their name and enjoy some very jolly afternoons together. Their last meeting before Lent was held at the home of Mrs. George Schreiner and was in the nature of a costume party which caused much merriment to the members. Then there is the Popular Twelve Card club, which also meets on Wednesday afternoon. The members of this club are: Mrs. Fred Justen, Mrs. Kilday, Mrs. Julius Keg, Mrs. Nick Freund, Mrs. Ben Stilling, Mrs. Ted Kaelin, Mrs. Simon Michels, Mrs. J. W. Freund, Mrs. A. Purvey, Ifrs. J. Weber, Mrs. N. E. Barbian and Mrs. Joe Miller. Five hundred is played at these club meetings which occut every two weeks, and several prises are awarded to winners. The Progressive Twelve Card club meets on Wednesday afternoon, also, and these members enioy the srames of five hundred which are olayed. Mrs. George Bohr, Mrs. John Engein, Mrs. John Karls. Mrs. A. Krause, M.s. F. O. Gans. Mrs. Jack Worth. Mrs. H. B. Schaeffer, Mrs. A?nes Wentworth, Mrs. Joe W. Rothermel. Mrs. George Worts, Mrs. F. E. Cobb and Mrs. Will Bishop are the members. These ladies held their meetiner on St. Patrick's Day at the home of Mrs. Will Bishop. Another group of ladies who en'oy some good times together are the West Side Card club, which is composed of eight members. They are: Mrs. Elizabeth Laures, Mrs. Henry Heimer, Mrs. N. J. Jutsen. Mrs. P. M. lusten. Mrs. Delia Matthews. Mrs. Emma Freund. Mrs. P. H. Weber and Miss Clara Schiessle. These ladies are all residents of West McHenry and hence the club receives its name. The Royal Entertainers is the name selected by a group of hospitable ladies who meet every week on Thursday evening to play five hundred. The members are: Mi£. T. W. Winkle, Mrs. Mat StefTes. Mrs. Ben Hilter, Mrs. Fred Schneider, Mrs. Robert Frisby. Mrs. Joe Justen, Mrs. Mat Freund, Mrs. N. Bohr. Mrs. C. Joos. Mrs. Jesse Wormley. Mrs. H. L. Ritter and Mrs. Jacob Schaeffer. These* ladies are true to the name and are royal entertainers.

Buss, Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Schaeffer ar.d Mr. Mrs. George Worts Another eveaing club composed of some very congenial couples met during the winter but its members failed to select a name.
