COMERS AND GOERS 6T A WEEK IN OUROITY As THC -rn' HcHENRY, ILLINOIS Nor. 19, 1929 Referring to Mr. William Bonslett's article which appeared in last week's issue of The McHenry Plaindealer, certainly wish I had received the amount of salary Mr. Bonslett accuses our honorable Mayor and Aldermen of having paid me. He accuses me of having received commission on the collections made at Woodstock; he neglected to explain that check No. 289 was commission for collections made at least three months prior to the fiscal year referred to and he also failed to state that portions of certain checks were for postage. He assuredly owes the Mayor and his Council an apology. I do not claim to be well versed on legal matters but I do know that anyone having false statements published is subject to penalty. Meanwhile I am grateful for k position which keeps my time sojtoe 11 occupied that I need spend «nope of it in finding or rather trying to find fault with the honest .efforts/of/others. I am sure th«? taxpayers would appreciate it if^^fr. Bonslett would leave off some of his arguments at these meetings for which he charges $5.00 and allow the time to be spent in discussing matters of more vital importance to which the trustworthy members of our City Council would 4&e to give their attention.

I do not intend to enter any lengthy newspaper controversy, but neither do I intend to let the impression go out that any action is taken by the council that does not appear in the minutes of the meetings that are published by our city clerk. These minutes speak for themselves and do not need any explanation. The "minutes" of- the October 7 meeting referred to in the "explanation" were not "corrected," as stated, but were amended. The question of the city collector's salary seems to be quite a bone of contention. Last spring* for the first time in the history of McHenry, an ordinance was passed by the outgoing council, setting the salaries of all the city officers, with the exception of the city collector, for thTs year. Inasmuch as no change was made in the collector's allowance, the collector went along under the same arrangement that has been in effect for several years and the party that now raises the point of the legality of this arrangement approved it by voting to approve the collector's monthly reports for a year and a half. The majority of the council felt that inasmuch as the collector had worked for a half year without being notified of any change in the salary, that an assistant should be hired at $20 per month for the balance of the year. A motion was passed to that effect and in sjJite of anything said to the contrary in the "explanation," our city attorney approved the action and read the law concerning the same. I want to say now that under the new arrangement the cost to the city will be less than under the old for collecting the city funds. I also want to say now that the party who now questions the legality of allowing an assistant to the collector voted to hire and pay an assistant to another city officer last February and I am of the opinion that if the "penalty" threatened in the ^explanation" is enforced that he will ride along in the same boat with the rest. There is no question that the present council has made mistakes and perhaps might not have followed strictly the letter of the law in some cases where we followed the custom that has been followed for years but it is not our intention to put anything over on the Edwin Michels is now employed at Waukegan.
