They approved the minutes of their last meeting and accepted the resolutions on the! 2,n the^shoulders in the paving from the city limits on the Crystal Lake road to the railroad tracks at the depot. Notices are to |>e mailed and a public hearing to be had about October: 1. The board of local improvements adjourned and an adjourned meeting of the city board was called for the purpose of closing up the unfinished business of last meeting. The city treasurer's report was accepted as read. Alderman Knox and Mayor Frett had more or less pointed discussion about a certain small light bill apparently authorized by the mayor, who had forgotten it, and was criticized by Aid. Knox for his lapse of memory. The bill of the Carey Electric Shop ior« $122.84 was brought up for discussion and when divided an8 placed to proper accounts it was moved by at St Anthony's hospital; Alex Justen will leave Oct. 1 for the Universal bearing the appearance of an old i Institute at Fort Wayne, Ind.; George southern colonel, the figure of the ho-i Stenger of Waukegan, a former tel owner became one of the best; McHenry boy, will study law at Notre known in the middle west. Citizens of Wauconda township last week Tuesday voted a bond issue of (41,500 to pay for necessary lands for right of way through that township for two state highways--Route 59, the . Barrington-Antioch road, and Route 178, the Wauconda-Mundelein road. The bond issue carried by sixteen votes, the total being 144 for and 129 against the proposition. The rights of way will be secured by condemnation proceedings. ' f, No trace of Margaret, 15-year-old daughter of Charles Anderson, Pikeville road, near Antioch, who disappeared Sunday of last week, has been found, according to her father. Sylvester Lang, a farm hand employed across the road from the Anderson place, left at the same time. Anderson states that lie has learned Lang Dame; Floyd Covalt, Jr., will attend St. John's Military Academy in Wisconsin; Jacob Bylsma will return to Northwestern University at Evanston; Abin Anderson will leave on Sept. 16 for Cambridge, Mass., where he will commence his junior year at Harvard College and Walter Anderson will return to the National Academy of Designs at New York City. Aid. Bonslett brought up the question of how could the board pay for election expenses when there was a record stating that the election was held without expense to the city. Aid. Knox was not in favor of paying any bills that had not been o.k.d by the finance committee and said, "I dont see how we can get out of paying these bills, but I think it a misrepre PAVING OF ROUTE 61 IS NOW COMPLETED State of Illinois Sets World's Paving Record, Laying About One Mile Per Working Hour" Tjhe pouring of cement on Route 61 has been completed south of McHenry and south of Terra Cotta to the Chicago & North Western railroad tracks where activities have been halted until a right-of-way over the railroad tracks can be procured. The work of shouldering the route is still in progress, however, and it will probably take a month or two longer before this work is finished. The men employed by the Powers- Thompson company are now working vicinity of Terra Cotta. The road south of Terra Cotta will be closed to traffic for the required number of days necessary for the cement to harden. In McHenry, on Ringwood road, a block of Route 61 is now closed to traffic while the Merrick company lay the extra width of slab on each side of the state highway. Route 61 is a road which is very popular with motorists as there is now much discussion as to the widening of all state highways to 40 feet. At the present there are one hundred paving mixers working in the state and several of them are laying one mile or more of pavement weekly. The present mileage of pavement completed this year is 743 miles, which is 20 miles more than that laid up to the same date in 1924. A new world's paving record was set during the construction week of Aug. 10 to 16, when 70.68 miles of 18 and 20-foot cement pavement was laid. This mileage, engineers pointed out, means the completion of one mile of pavement per working hour.

The coon had evfdently climbed the; pole and in crossing over the wires j created a circuit which was plainly evident in the body.

Pose The McHenry county board of euperviaors in regular session Tuesday endorsed the appointment of Chas. W. Hadley as special prosecutor for McHenry county to investigate charges of crime in the county. Attorney Hadley had been appointed by Judge E. D. Shurtleff, following a petition being presented to him by members of the Citizens' League requesting the appointment of a special prosecutor. Members of the Citizens' League appeared before the board meeting Tuesday and offered a resolution, the substance being that it was believed crime conditions in McHenry county should be corrected and that the underworld of Chicago had perfected a strong organization which was endangering the peace and prosperity of the county. The resolution asked that a suitable reward be offered for the apprehension and return of the absconding former state's attorney, A. H. Pouse, and that also a thorough and honest investigation be made of the crime conditions. Frank B. McConnell, chairman of the board, asked J.udge Charles T. Allen, who was present, to say a few words on the proposition. Judge Allen Talks Judge Allen expressed himself a& heartily in favor of a* thorough investigation, stating that rumors were being circulated which involved all officers connected with law enforcement. He urged that, the board, cooperate with Attorney Hadley. State's Attorney V. S. Lumley was then called on. He stated in very strong terms that the board take steps as appeared necessary that an investigation might he had which would fully determine the Innocence of such officials as were wrongfully charged with wrongdoing, as well as the guilt. If any, or any persons who might be guilty. He also said that he would co-operate In every way possibly with Attorney Hadley. He asked Enoyable Evening Spent At Eastern Star Hall, Following Banquet at Justen's Hotel A most enjoyable evening was spent by members and friends of McHenry Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, at their Anna Muller Night, Monday evening. The meeting took place at the Eastern Star hall and was preceded by a 6 o'clock banquet at Justea's hotel. The delicious three course banquet was served to about sixty-five guests at urettity decorated tables, after which all present proceeded to the hall for the evening meeting. Although it was raining a most pleasant evening was spent within the hall, which was beautifully decorated witti bouquets and baskets of garden flowers, while floor lamps gave an added home-like appearance.
