The item ended up by stating that the ruling of the court vacated his decree and left the case to be decided on its merits. The iteVn which, was published was sent to this newspaper by one of the Shalimar property owners and was printed without making an investigation as to tke facts. Since that time the records at the court have been checked and here is what we found; July 6--Motion by D. R. Joslyn, Jr., to vacate decree and for leave to file answer. Leave given to file answer. July 19--By consent of complainants decree filed on June 5, 1930, be vacated and defendants given leave to file answer herewith submitted on or before July 23, 1930. Answer filed July 21, 1930. v BUREAU ASKS SPORTSMEN TO REPORT FINDING OF BANDS A census of the waterfowl resources of the U. S;, to be made on the basis of banding returns, is considered by the U. S.

CARISTROM RULES FOR DAM REPAIR APPROPRIATION CAN BE USED Attorns? CSapsral Gives Opiate* That $25,000 Appropriation Cannot Be Used For Other Purposes Two delegations of officials froia the Fox Valley Federation visited this city and vicinity last week in an effort to obtain relief for down river cities and residents from the low and almost stagnant water conditions in the Fox River. The unusual drought and long heat spell which stopped the supply of rainfall and evaporated large quantities of river water, has caused the unusual low water in the river below the McHeary dam and an unusual growth of water vegitation has helped to retard the ordinary flow of the water. In answer to complaints and requests for relief, officials of the federation headed by E. A. Keplar, secretary of the association, took a trip of investigation from below Montgomery to above McHenry. . They visited Supervisor William H. Althoff of McHenry and examined records concerning the McHenry dam and went away satisfied that the low water levels was r.o fault of the Mc- Igtiere of the home welcomes the visi- All sportsmen are urged to co-operate!

Canning THE INQUIRING REPORTER Each week the Inquiring Reporter fisks a question of local interest, to five persons picked at random. THE QUESTION "Should boats on the river be allowed to operate with open mufflers?" MISTAKEN FOR BURGLAR; SHOT LOCAL MAN PATIENf AT HOSPITAL dam soon answered all their questions and they were satisfied that nothin? could be done here to aid a condition which only the elements, drought and heat, had brought about. Keeps Records of Dam In an interview with Mr. Althoff it was learned that a gauge at the McHenry dam is read tv^ice daily, at sunrise and sunset, to determine the water level and also that the direction and velocity of the wind is registered each day, thus making the maintenance of a uniform water level in the river not mere guess work but a scientific study. Mr. Keplar and one of the Public Service engineers from Joliet inspected the Algonquin dam, which has been abandoned as a power dam for several years, during which time it crack* ed badly and settled in places. The low places had been filled with sand bags which did not bring the crest above the height permitted, but which did hold much water back in the basin above the dam. Complete concrete repair work was contemplated before removing the bags and during the low water, but because the dam is only maintained as a matter of free public service it was decided to remove the bags and release the impounded water in the reservoir. It was thought best to remove a portion daily for three or four days to prolong the benefits to the down stream folks in the hopes that it would last until furtner relief would be received from rains. The showers and local rains are soon absorbed by the torrid earth without raising the river and it is considered a relief at this time to have the river hold its own against further falling. '~ According to Mr. Keplar the Geneva and upper Batavia dams were found to be violating regulations regarding water power. The water level back of the Geneva dam was 36% inches below the crest and at Batavia it was 31 inches below, while the maximum lowering for power purposes is six inches. Carlstrom Gives Opiaios According to the advise of Attorney General Oscar E. Carlstrom to the department of purchases and construction, the $25,000 appropriated by the last general assembly for repair of the present dam and lock at Emerald Park near the McHenry dam and lock cannot be used for construction of a dike along the Fox river above the dam. The request for an opinion discloses there_is no dam at Emerald Park and the department wanted to use the appropriation for the dike to improve navigation in the Fox river and to prevent overflow on property when the water is raised to- the height required for navigation purposes in the Chain-of-Lakes above this point in Lake county. The attorney general held this money could not be so used, bpt advised the department it is available for repair of the Mcilenry dam and lock. CAPT. WILLIAM KOEPPB, Excursion Boat Owner: 'Don't think they should be allowed to operate without mufflers. They do not gain speed as many seem to think or if they do it is scarcely noticeable. I can see no reason for the muffler coming off a boat. When they are sent by the factory the muffler is included and there is a 'necessity' for removing the muffler, then 1 think there is something radically wrong with the motor." WARREN TROSTRUD, 1204 Elm- Vood Ave., Oak Park, HI. "Being an owner of an outboard motor boat, I can see little or no advantage ip running a boat without a muffler. I think that while racing, however, it is a little more advantageous to the contestants to leave their mufflers open. In the race at Fox Lake (100 mile marathon) all the contestants used open mufflers, which is a point in favor of the speed question." ARTHUR KRAUSE, Service Station Attendant: "The open muffler is permissible during a race, but hardly reasonable while driving for sport or at night. The running of outboard motor boats is a sport and should be treated in a sportsmanlike manner. The people operating outboard motor boats should be reasonable to those who do not partake in the sport, while the others should be tolerant in their demands to the sportsmen." • • LOUIS BISHOP, Barber: "I don't think boats should bs Allowed to operate without a muffler because it is without question a nuisance. If it does not make a difference in the speed (as even the owners of boats will say) then I can see no reason why they should not have the mufflers on. I have been told by various resorters that they have noise in abundance in Chicago and can see no particular reason wfyr they should be anxious to travel fifty or sixty miles to hear more noise. I think that a thing like that really hurts McHenry's business." RUSSELL LARSON, 1735 North Mansfield.Ave^ Chicago, Aviation Student: "I own an outboard motor boat and I am interested in this muffler question because I have tried both sides of the question and I am sure that there is no advantage in an open muffler. However, I think that the owners of outboard motor boats do not realize the amount of noise a motor that is minus a muffler can make It is not done, however, with a direct intent to destroy the peacefulness that McHenry ordinarily affords. I think satisfaction could be gained by logical consideration on the part of both tha boat owners and also the river residents." JOSEPH CON RATH DIES FOLLOWING ACCIDENT Joseph H. Con rath, district manager of the Illinois Bell Telephone company at Peoria, and formerly manager of this district located at Woodstock, died at 3:30 o'clock Wednesday, July 23, in St. Margaret's hospital, Hammond, Ind., death due to pneumonia which followed injuries received in an automobile accident June 12, near Calumet City, a suburb south of Chicago.

BAND CONCERT There will be a band concert in the McHenry Park this evening by the McHenry Municipal Baad and Tom Brown, singer. John E. Freund. Believing A Holdup Was Being Staged, Fires Through Window at "Pit" Peter Engeln of McHenry is a patient at the Woodstock hospital, suffering from a bullet wound in the hip, following a mixup at the "Pit," located a short distance east of this city, about 2 o'clock Tuesday morning, at which time John E. Freund, who conducts the business there for the owner, mistook him for a burglar and fired two shots. Mr. Engeln's condition is reported to be serious, but at last reports it is believed that he will recover. Mr. Freund was placed under arrest Tuesday and taken before Police Magistrate William Battern of Woodstock, charged with assault with a deadly weapon. He waived examination and was bound over to the grand jury under bonds of $10,000, Bonds were furnished and he was released. Thought It Was Holdup In a statement given to State's Attorney V. S. Lumley, Mr. Freund says that 'he was aroused early Tuesday morning when someone came to the front door of the place and began pounding on the door. He asked who was there but received no answer. Then rocks began to come through the window, he said, and he came to the conclusion that there was a holdup being staged. He got his gun and when he saw a man leaving the front to go around the building he shot through the screen on the window. He says he aimed low, hoping to get the intruder in the leg as he did not want to shoot to kill. Mr. Freund says he had no idea who the party was until after he fired, but when the man spoke, saying "You got me," he recognised the voice of Peter Engeln. Mr. Engeln was able to get into his car and drove to the office of a local physician, who ordered him taken to the hospital, as he had suffered from loss of blood. Although x-ray pictures have been taken it is reported that the surgeons have failed to locate the bullets. Mr. Engeln's version of the unfortunate circumstances Is that he went to the "Pit" and seeing a light in the place tried to get in. He says he rapped on the door but could not gain admittance. Suddenly he claims shots were fired from within, one of the bullets striking him in the hip. He says he crawled back to the car and drove to the office oft the physician, from where he was taken to the hospital. Two Shots Fired The screens taken from the window shows two bullet holes and several good sized rocks are in the hands of the state's attorney, which are said to have been found inside the place. Both Mr. Freund and Mr. Engeln are long-time residents of McHenry and well known to the local people. COUNCIL HOLDS AN ADJOURNED MEETING Members Vote to Pay Balance of Fear Special Assessments--Boad Issue Is lYoposed On Monday evening, July, t8, the city board held an adjournefl meeting of July 7. The mayor, clerk and all aldermen, with the exception of Aid. Doherty, were present. Auditor North was present and after a very thorough explanation of the special assessments lists and after a discussion by members present it was decided to pay the balance of special assessments No. 7, 8, 22 and 24, with interest. The money for this should be in by Aug. i, from the 1929 levy. The board decided to use the balance of the appropriation to apply on assessments 9, $400; 10, $750; 11, $750, and the remainder of the appropriation to pay the interest on said assessments and to apply on Assessment No. 16. It was decided • to call on Assessment 6, $3,000; Assessment 12, $1|100; Assessment 13, $1,400; Assessment 14, $1,400, and that the numbers of the bonds to be called be selected by the chairman of the finance committee. Mr. Moran, representing H. C. Speer A Sons Company, bond investors of many years standing in Chicago, was present and after introduction to the board members and questioning them as to their wants and the amount of assessment valuation, made the proposition to the board that his company should stand all necessary expense^ and legal advice for the issuance of $20,000 or less bonds for the purpose of paying judgments held against the city by the Leah Brown estate, the bank anticipation warrants and the former five truck. He would have legal advice as to whether or pot bonds could be issued, advice to be presented at the meeting of Aug. 4. Of course, the city would have to stand the expense of the election. It is the opinion of the members of the board that bonds can be issued az a lower rate of interest than the judgments carry and that at the present nothing can be paid on judgments and that the interest being added to judgments would soon increase them to a much larger figure while the bond is sue at a lower rate of interest and deferred payments shoqld be much cheaper in the end for the city.
