Vogel Horse Injured in Wreck Richmond Gazette: In a wreck the first of the week on the C. M. & St. P. railway, near Whitewater, Wis., one of the trotting horses belonging to Geo. Vogel of Solon was injured, but how badly we have been unable to ascertain. Two trotters of the Vogel string were being shipped from Monroe, Wis., when the accident hap­ pened. It is reported also that an­ other of Mr. Vogel's horses was taken sick on the road and both of the ani­ mals are being held at Whitewater until they recover sufficiently to be able to be shipped home. Charlie Vogel, soh of lUr. and Mrs. Geo. Vogel, is said to be laid up with a broken collar bone, the result of a fall last week while riding a running horse in a race. Are Victims of Thieves Detectives swooped down Oh five Grayslake men, who had recently bought automobiles from a stranger, and took the cars, claiming that they had been stolen. The men who bought the cars, which were offered at a re­ markably low price, are the following: John Melberg, John Hook, Albert Behning and Charles and George Sheldon. Melberg was hit the hard­ est. Some time ago he bought a Ford car from the stranger, whieh he trad­ ed in later on an Overland. The rest of the cars were of Ford make. Geo. Sheldon considered the cars a bar­ gain and had two in , his possession when the detectives arrived. They had the numbers of the stolen cars, which tallied with those in the posses­ sion of the Grayslake gentlemen. ' Baseball Fund Growing Manager Richard B. Walsh of the McHenry Baseball club informs us that a number of the fans and friends of the team have extended the club donations during the past week. As stated in last week's issue of The Plaindealer, the club is in debt to the extent of about $200 and the donations will come in mighty handy. With the money already in at least one-half of the indebtedness of the"club will be wiped out and from general re­ ports there are still a number who are willing to assist the club out of its present predicament. Those who subscribed to the Cub 'guarantee fund had their money returned to them the first of the week.

This ques­ tion <has again sprung up among a number of property owners of the village, who seem very much in favor of the improvement In fact, so en­ thused have they become that steps have already been taken to ascertain the cost of such an improvement. The sewerage question is one that has been taken up by a number of the towns in this locality. In most of the places where the question was put to a vote of the people it carried by a safe majority, while in only a few instances it was voted down. It is an improvement that every town should have and must have sooner or later and it remains to be seen whether <?r not McHenry will be given this great necessity. The old cess-pool method h«s about become a thing of the past The original expense of putting in a cess­ pool is not only quite heavy, but the fact that same is a constant expense after once installed makes thi6 sort of disposal a very expensive one in the long run, while with a sewer sy s­ tem the first cost would practically end all expense. „ Naturally, thege ai»jrivays two sides to any question and those who have started out with the issue will, no doubt, meet with opposition, altho there ar$ a number of our influential citizens who are heartily in favor of the improvement and who will work hard to bring this about. At any rate it is a question well worth your earnest consideration and arguments pro and con will hurt no one, so let there ISie a free discussion on the topic. The following answer to an inquiry regarding the cost of a sewerage sys­ tem will be interesting to .our people: Chicago, Sept. 21, 1916 David G. Wells, M. D., Mayor, MeHenry, 111. Vv Dear Si/--Mr. Snyder, of the MeSv ritt Hydraulics company, has just in­ formed me that your village is con­ templating the installation of a sewer system, having written to him as to estimated cost, etc. As Mr. Snyder is, not an engineer "he has referred this inquiry to us. The information you give is too in­ definite to enable us to make a close estimate, but in general we might say that sanitary sewers, that is,'~£ewers taking care of the sanitary flow and not storm water flow, would cost in general about $5000.00 per mile. In addition to this a simple forty of disposal plant would probably be nec­ essary. Your village being on Fox river, all that would be required would probably be a sedimentation tank with its necessary accessories, the cost probably being about $3500.00 to $4000.00 additional. This could all be built under the special assessment act of the state of Illinois, and if the total frontage of the lots being-, benefitted would amount to 24,000 feet, the cost, per front foot would be about eighty cents. This figure is probably a little small, the averagte cost of sewers per front foot being one dollar. Hence a one hundred foot lot would have a total assessment of from $80.00 to $100.00, which may be paid in ten an­ nual installments, the deferred install­ ments bearing interest at five per cent. If the assessment would be $100.00 for such a lot, the first pay­ ment would be .$lO.D0'plus five per cent interest on $90.00i or $14.50. The second payment would be $10.00 plus five per cent on $80.00, or £14.00, the payments decreasing each year. This is about, as close an estimate as we can make from the information at hand, but it should not be very far off, especially as regards the cost per lot. ^ We are designing *nd supervising engineers and would be very glad to perform the work of preparing plans, supervising the construction, etc., of sewers for your village. The writer would be pleased to come to McHenry at any time at his own expense and talk over the matter with'your vil­ lage officers. This would put you un­ der no obligations of course. The writer frequently tours on Sun­ day up toward McHenry and if you will let him know by Saturday morn­ ing of this weekJhe will come to Mc­ Henry next Sunday and talk the mat­ ter over with you, or if you prefer and will let him know, any night next week, except Wednesday night, he will be glad to run up on the train, meet your council and go into the matter. Please understand that this puts you under no obligation. If your village decides that it wishes to proceed with the installa­ tion of a sewer system we would simply ask to be considered in the em­ ployment of an epgine^r, as it will be necessary for you to have an en­ gineer for this work. We might say that we have had a very large ex­ perience in similar matters, are thor- oly familiar with the latest practice in sanitary engineering and can fur­ nish you the very best of references. Thanking you for any attention you may give this matter, we are, Yours very respectfully, Aetna Engineering Bureau. P. E. Green, Engineer.
