Co. 1. The by-pass to the Fox River is lower than the river level: hence river water backs into the plant. 2. The pumpage of all sewage Is required: by providing high and low sewers a large part of your present pumping expense would have been eliminated. 3. The pumps installed are clear water type instead of non-clogging type; furthermore, they are of insufficient capacity: hence they have never operated successfully. 4.

Why your attorneys should prefer to work with the engineers who are responsible for such an abortion as your system and dsposal plant is a matter which you will do well to investigate before further action is taken in the matter. We understand that the opposition of our firm originated with your two attorneys, Henry Cowlin and W. M. Carroll, We do not suppose that these gentlemen will presume to openly criticise our plans and specifications for the proposed reconstruction work. If they do so we will appreciate the opportunity." , Now we will explain what happened on Special assessment No. 24. After the Anderson Co. made their surveys, blue prints, etc., a representative of the Wells Eng. Co. hurried to interview the members of the Board of Local Improvement and at the next meeting of the city council he tried to make light of Anderson Co.'s work, saying they did not know anything about sewers, etc., when they well knew the Anderson Co. were the engineers on practically all sewer, water and paving improvements in Lake Forrest and practically all of the North Shore district. The result was a majority of the city council members voted to fire the James Anderson Co. and hire theWells Wells Eng. Co. agreed to do all theif work on repairs across Boone Creek free of charge. The contract price of this part of the work was $3,484.00. This is what the Wells Eng. Co. did: their estimated cost of project was $11,400.00 and the contract price $9,885.00, while they paid the contractor $10,115.20 or $280.20 mors than the contract price. Their own contract price for this work as per their agreement made at council meeting would be based on 1 % of $11400.00 less $3484 or $7918, com. $79.16. 2r/c $11400.00 less $8484.00 or $7916.00, com $158.3#. 3% of $10115.20 less $8484.00 or $6631.20, com. $198.94. Total amount of Wells Eng. Co. $434.42. They maJe out their vouchers for $831.45 and the present Board of Local Improvement paid the bill. Therefore,the Welb Eng. Co. were overpaid. $397.03 on this sewer job. Walther was paid and the James Anderson Co. $200.50, making a total of $782.58 to add to the city's big debt. Although the Wells Eng. Cd. Collected $300.00 for spreading the assessment roll they failed to include in the assessment roll the following pieces of property (even after being told of same at the hearing at Woodstock and promising to add same the roll.) Henry Ahrens 2 lots, C. Owen 2 lots, also all of lots 1, 2, 3 and 4 in block No. 11. Lots 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 in block No. 12. Lots 1 and 2 in block No. 13. These last mentioned lots are in ex-mayor Wattle's subdivision on Elgin road and within our sewer system and are as susceptible to our sewer and disposal plant as any lot located north of Boone Creek. The Wells Eng. Co. also agreed to add td the roll the subdivisron of «utlot No. 18 which also lies within our sewer ^system and contains, I think, 7 lots. This subdivision had been accepted by the city before the spread was made. This makes a total of 20 lots they omitted. Can anybody explain the reason why? As it now stands this special assessment will run short. Had the $270.20 on these 20 lots been added as requested and agreed upon, the bondholders would be secure, but as it is who will pay the shortage? The property owners can not be taxed again and the city is not allowed to pay it. We have not gone into the other special assessments but are afraid there are more of them in a similar condition. In conclusion will say that most of our information was gathered from the treasurer's book to April 1, 1926, the treasurer's annual statements in the l'laindealer; our city clerk's record books and last but not least from Aid Stoffel's records saved from* the publications of the council proceedings published in the Plaindealer far a number of years. WM. BONSLETT JOHN STOFFEL TREND TO V A L U E ; ; - AMERICA IS CHOOSING en- .... a Buyers today demand known ) goodness ... dollars must bring real return vand so motorists are buying than MR. HERMAN SCHLETTERT "Well, Konjola did all that was claimed for it in my case," said Mr. Herman Schlettert, 620 South Twentieth street, Quincy, 111. In addition to that, it greatly benefited my eightyear- old son. I suffered dreadfully from stomach trouble and constipation. Even though I watched my diet carefully, after every meal my stomache bloated terribly, causing distress and pain. My nerves were on edge, and as a result of constipation' I suffered with severe headaches. "Nothing I tried did any good until I put this remarkable Konjola to the test. Before I had finished the first bottle I was satisfied that I had chosen the right medicine. Within a month I felt better in every way than for years. I started giving my son Konjola and he is gaining in weight and strength; is full of energy, and always hungry. Konjola has my most sincere indorsement." Thus Konjola works, quickly yet thoroughly. One does not have to wait long for results when Konjola is given a chance, but for complete results, it is recommended that from six to eight bottles be taken. Konjola is sold in McHenry at Thomas P. Bolger's drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section. \ Fight Evil at Start Every evil in the bnd t> eadlly crashed; as it grows older it becomes IW i •/*. 3.rJ ' r r f* •* V - ir, * h- A " X|r,5'|h '•> ' '%•> * ' , *'*'1 4 , ,/ Buicks as any other car priced abov«T $1200.
