One of the several line , of work which are opening favon.oly is that cf the • carpenters with the construction of V*tveral buildings under way. Although the building boom experi- " pMiced in this city in the last few . yekrs has perhaps passed in some - measure, yet a stea '.y, healthy growth ii still being experienced in McHenry and vicinity. Many of the carjjenters have been busy most of the Winter and they all report much work for the summer and seemed satfsfied with the fine prospects for a busy season ahead. I Although there are-~4aore vacant ^jheuse* in this city this spring than ;have been found for several years yet - •» "people continue to build their own homes in McHenry and summer homes nftlong the river and at the lakes. J; The influence of architecture on a '•Community is not to be doubted. One beautiful building is but the stimulus, others follow in due course and sow some very expensive and well built homes may be seen along ths shores of Fox River. One noticeable feature of many of these homes is the fact that a number of them are how being built large and warm for , jpfcrmanent year-around dwellings. Build New Home At Bay ' ./ Perhaps the largfrt and most palatial residence that has been erected in this vicinity for several years is "the Hollenbach honie at Pistakee Bay, Which is valued at $40,000. This mansion, situated among the trees high mbove the blue waters of Pistakee Bay, will present a most imposing spectacle with its beautiful grounds will be one of the show-places of Pistakee. This home has been under construction during the winter and Will probably be completed about Jfnne according to Stephen H. Freund, who is doing the carpenter Work, assisted by his able workmen. \ihe beautiful home is constructed of cinder blocks covered with an artistic atucco finish with- tile roof and presents a picture of some sunny castle transported fromthe eunlit slopes of aid Spain. It is a two-story building with six Marge bedrooms on the Becond floor, several of them measuring 15 by 21 feet, with five toilets and bath rooms. The large living room is „ 17 feet by 29 feet and the other rooms have corresponding dimensions. Some of the most beautiful tile work and finishing is found in the interior.. Frett Brothers did the cement work, Henry Kamholz has the contract for the plumbing and heating, while the Carey Electric company Will install the lights. Decorators irom Chicago ace in charge of tbe interior. New Honie At Roaedale Another home which probably ranks second to the Hollenbach building is one which has been built duriag the winter for B. A. Railton & Co., wholesale grocers. This home is located in the Rosedale subdivision •lid is of the English Colonial style. It consists of ten rooms and two bathrooms and has been constructed by J. W. Rothermel and his carpenters. George Kane has the contract for the , decorating which is now well under Way.

The btouse has just been plastered and is niow ready for the trim which will give to the house an elegant and un- ^nia) appearance. E. G. Peterson bad the contract for the carpenter Work and George Kane will do the decorating. New Home On River Among the list of palatial homes is the one being built by Mr. and Mrs. Julius Keg, of which McHenry people may well be proud. It is situated at the end of Riverside Drive on Fox River at its junction with Boone Creek and presents a most imposing and artistic picture which may be seen from some distance. The bome which has been built by -Mr. Keg and his workmen is in the English Colonial style of brick, the irfegular manner in which they are laid being known as skintel brick. It has •" "9 pointed three-tier roof which gives iit palatial appearance to this home of •light rooms with sun room and bath. ' A two-car garage and furnace room ire attached to the house, which has no basement. An unusual feature is the addition of a greenhouse, which > faces the east and south, and in this t iHrs. Keg expectsto, find much enjoy- - ®ent in her love tor flowers. fhe floors will be of tile and linol- V «um. with the second story finished in oak.

The bath room will show Die latest and most modern style of colored fixtures which will be in an --- AUtumn brown shade. • The main entrance to the house is on ' -ffce north side facing west, although DAYLIGHT SAVING (TASTED SUNDAY .Change In Train Schedule on Chkafl ft Northwestern Affects McHenry Daylight saving time in Chicago went into effect Saturday night, or to be correct, at 2 o'clock Sunday morning, and millions of hours of sleep were lost by Chicago's three million inhabitants when clocks were set ahead to conform to the change in time. . j • For the first time the Twentieth Century Limited, New York Central! train, and the Broadway Limited, wiili run on daylight saving schedule as J daylight saving also went into effect! in New York City at the same time. Daylight saving is. also to be effective in Gary, Fox River Grove and Barrington this year, while the plan was defeated at the recent election at Crystal Lake. ^ The change in time means that Chicago is one hour ahead of McHenry and has caused a change In the train schedule for this city. The morning train to Chicago now leaves at 7:34 and gives shoppers a fine long day in the city. The trains going to Chicago now leave McHenry at 6:13 a. m., 7:34 a. m. and 5:25 p. m., while those from Chicago arrive at McHenry at 9:50 a. m., 4:49 p. m. and 6:13 p. m. There is now a Sunday train leaving McHenry for Chicago at 7:27 p. m. This schedule will be effective until May 12 when more changes will probably be made. there is also an entrance leading from the terrace on the south. The surrounding grounds will be most artistically laid out with the Valley Landscape company of Elgin planting the shrubbery this week. A sprinkling system will be installed to adequately take care of the terraced lawn. The home which is now being plastered will probably be completed about June 1, at which time Mr. and Mrs. Keg are planning to move. Sehms Building New Home Another home which is just being started on Fox River and which gives promise of being a most beautiful and modern one, is under construction for Mr. and Mrs, Otto Sohm, well known residents of this city. This house will be built just across the river from their present home, oft the site of George Kramer's former boat factory at the west end of the new river bridge. This will be built in the £)utch Colonial style and will be a two-story building, 32 by 3o feet in size, with additional porches. John P.

This is a shingle bungalow with six rooms and a bath and presents a most attractive appearance and is modern in every respect. The carpenter work was done by Jacob Schaefer, the plumbing and heating will be installed by Donavin Bros, and the decorating will be done by Herman Kreutzer. The floors are now being varnished and it will soon be ready for occupancy. Mr. and Mrs. Baur plan to rent their former eightroom home.

Freund has also just finished a large barn for John Koerber on his farm, south of McHenry, to replace Ahe one destroyed by fire several months ago. Implement Building . ; . Business places are also befn®! improved and built as well as private homes and one of these important improvements is the fine, large shop and implement building now being erected by Mat Freund, the hustling dealer in McCormick-Deering machinery and tractors on Elm street. This will ^ be a large cinder block building covering 50 by 78 feet of ground and will be built on the site of the former shop, which has been torn down, the mason work to be done by Frett Bros.

Representatives of the state banking department are at McHenry checking up the book preparatory to liquidating the bank. The trouble of the bank may be covered by two words, "frozen assets." which means that an excessive amount of the banks funds are tied up in slow selling assets, which includes mostly real estate items. There is no charge of a shortage or mismanagement of the bank's affairs and it is hoped that with careful management it will pay out in full. Formerly Ftti River Valley Bank The trouble started a number of years ago, when the institution was called the Fox Rivfcr Valley State bank. A reorganization took plac? two years ago when a heavy stock assessment was made to eliminate double assets. Following the reorganization and stock assessment, which was- conducted under the state auditor's direction, it was believed the bank would prosper.
