The reading of the minutes, tre*s-> urer's, collector's and clerk's reports were taken care of in the usual man- Mr, also the bills were yead and or- AN paid as QK'd by the finance committee. Supt. of Waterworks, M. M. Niesen approached the board with an old of the Plaindealer with the ordimnce covering waterworks and which called for payment of water used for new construction purposes. It has been the practice of the city board in most eases not to collect for •writer used for the construction work of new buildings. The last year's city board metered out such water as used and some of the contractors are objecting to the paying; of such water bills. However, the board decided to abide by the old ordinance as it costs the city just as much to pump water for construction purposes as for house consumption. -A The tax levy ordinance ror next year was passed as read. Carl Weber, representing the Mc- Henry band, presented a bill of $80 per concert as well as the allowance for practice meetings and asked permission for the band to give concerts on Main street for each Friday night In August. The bill was allowed and permission given for the concerts, al so permission was given to rope off the necessary part of the street.

The bonds will be sold for par to H. C. Speer & Sons Co., and the company will stand all expense of the issue and Theo. Hamer, receiver for the defunct Citizens State Bank, agreed to stand half the cost of the election and the West McHenry State Bank will undoubtedly stand the other half. The ordinance was read and passed, making it possible for the public to vote on the issue, the elec tion to be held Sept. 16. William Bonslett took the floor and suggested that the board should he able to call more of special assessment bonds than they had already done. Upon being informed that the board had called as per the recommendations of Auditor North, Mr. Bonslett informed them that anyone could take Mr. North's own report and clearly show that more bonds should be called thani were being called at this time.

"We sure had a fifie time," said Mr. Rothermel, "but don't get the idea that we didn't have to get down to work.

LOTUS BEDS ARE IN BLOOM costard BACT ATTKK SIX YZA&S THE QUESTION 'What step? should be taken' to rid McHenry of the open muffler nui sance? » »« A. E. NYE, Jewelry and Radio^ "This problem is beyond the jurisdiction of the local authorities and could be most effectively handled through a bill in the legislature. The Izaak Walton league has been working upon this very issue and they find many difficulties because of the lack of legal authority. If public opinion could be brought to the proper point with propaganda the task would be much easier. Th^ Plaindealer has done much toward this movement and I believe they should be given a vote •of thanks by the river residents." LEONARD DAVIS. 24S6 Greenlesf Ave- Chicago, student. "This is truly ja nuisance and it should be taken care of or McHenry will soon lose its popularity as a summer resort. I believe the best plan is to deputize a few of the outboard motor boat owners and place a definite fine upon each offender. The local paper has done mych to arouse public opinion in this matter and its effects can be felt by the noticeable decrease in the use of open mufflers. We now need to follow this up with a definite law or ruling to make it It 100 per cent decrease." PHILIP LACEY, Orchard Beach, Art Student. "This matter should be handed to the River and Lakes Commission of Illinois. They are the ones who can stop this nuisance if they will. I personally think it is wrong for owners of outboard motor boats to operate with open mufflers and I am surprised that public opinion has countenanced this matter as long as it has. It is the minority that is in the wrong and it is now time forvthe majority to assert itself." WILLIAM SHEEHAN, 1924 Sedgwick St., Chicago, Sheehan Transit Co. 'The resort people come to McHenry to enjoy themselves and should be adverse to anything that will destroy their intentions. The real difficulty lies in the fact that a great many of the resort people own outboard motor boats themselves and those people along the river who do not own boats find it hard to do anything against the matter because of this fact. It is really sport in every sense of the word to run an outboard motor boat, but it fails to be such when it disturbs a person's peace of mind. The matter, should be given to the state." lAMES A. FITZGERALD. 6410 Maryland Ave* Civil Engineer, Chicago. "In the preamble to the constitution of t)ie United States it speaks of the asurance of 'domestic tranquility' and because this seems to be a breach of this very statement, I believe it is a matter for national law. This nuisance has been tolerated too long. It is time that the people in McHenry take special action against this destruction of peace. In time McHenry will lose its one essential feature, that or peacp and quiet and with this loss it will also lose the patronage of many of its resorters." AMONG THE SICK Edward Matthews, who has been ilL, left last week for the Mayo Bros, clinic at Rochester, Minn. Mrs. Gerald Carey, who has been suffering with a bad knee for the past seven weeks, underwent an operation at the West Side hospital, Chicago, on Tuesday. CHILD CUT BT GLASS little James Regner, 6-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Regner, met with an accident Tuesday yhije playing in the yard.

Will*! ifal Blooms Once M*fi Grass Lake an Attraction For Tourists Grass Lake's famous lotus beds are in bloom again. After having been frozen out for four years, the famous flowers are again growing in profusion and are attracting widespread tourist" and motorist attention. Six years ago, after a prolonged freezing spell, sudden high waters washed out the ice in Grass lake, in which the tops of the plants were imbedded, and the entire great beds, covering many acres, were dragged out by the roots. It was feared that they had been permanently destroyed, but for the past few years a few of them have been appearing again, and this year the beds cover between four and five acres and there are at least three times as many lotus in the lake as there were last year. The recent hot weather speeded their growth and the buds now have broken into full bloom and are attracting the attention of large crowds of people every day. . Passenger boats make regular daily trips from McHenry to the lotus beds with Koeppe's "Alice" aqd the "Gladene" of the Hunter Boat company, being the boats which are loaded every day on their trips to the beautiful lotus *beds. This trip makes a very desirable holiday outing as the route leads through Pistakee lake and the Nippersink, with their beautiful wooded shores, to Grass lake, wheife in former years the lake has been one large flower garden, where the blooms were so abundant that every visitor couli gather a desirable bouquet of the mammoth, lemon-tinted flowers. Nature lovers who have been in the habit of traveling to Grass like in years past to view the beautiful lotus blossoms will have a better opportunity than for several years past as the blooms will continue for several weeks and with their steady growth and increase they will soon be bai-k to their former numbers which the high water of a few years ago helped to diminish. The paved highways leading through McHenry greatly aid motorists who desire to drive to the popular lake and the gravel roads north of McHenry make the route a desirable one and the lake is reached conveniently either by ldnd or water routes. Flowers Mentioned h» BMe These rare flowers, known from time immemorial and mentioned in the Bible, are declared to grow naturally only in the valley of the Nile and in Grass lake. For that reason they have been botanical wonders for years and efforts have been made to have the state make a state reservation out of the lake for the preservation of the blooms. Of the many different plants which bear the name of lotus, probably the most widely known is the Egyptian water lily, whose large white or yellow flowers and wide spreading leaves are familiar sights along the margins of the Nile. A closely related American species, known variously as the water chinquapin, lotus and yellow lily, is found in abundance only in five places in the United States. There are beds near New York city, Monroe, Mich., southern California and near Beard stow, on the Illinois river. In the latter beds the flowers do not grow in a mass, but are spread out along the stream for several miles. Lotus-Eaters . In ancient Greek legends the lotuseaters, or lotophagi, were a race of people who dwelt in Libya, on the northern coast of Africa, and whose sole food was the fruit and blossoms of the lotus tree. This plant, which has been identified as the jujube tree, possessed the magical property of causing anyone who ate of it to forget his homeland and the ties of friends and family. v Tennyson describes its effects in his poem, "The Lotus-Eaters." In Homer's Odyssey it is tqld that Ulysses and his companions on their return from the siege of Troy, were entertained by the lotus-eaters, some of the men partaking of the "enchanted stem," which made them desire to remain in that pleasant land. When Ulysses saw the dreamy, vacant expression in their eyes, he bore them forcibly away to his ships and forbade his other followers to taste of the magic food of that land "where it was always afternoon." In modern speech the name lotus-eater ia applied t > the absent-minded, impractical person who aimlessly builds air castles and dreams dreams that can never come true. Those who have seen the wonderful lotus beds in Grass lake in former years can vouch for the assertion that they are the most gorgeouS and imposing sight imaginable and it is only hoped that they will soon be returned to their former size and splendor and the word that the beds and blooms are greatly increased this year will be hailed as good news by many of the lotus admirers. A Hurry Call 1 ^ SERVICE STATION ROBBED MONDAY Five Bandits1 Secure AJbout $4t la Cash and Merchandise Early Monday Night Nebel's Service Station, located on Route 20, just west of McHenry, was held up by five armed bandits Monday evening and robbed of $40 in cash and merchandise. The robbery occurred about ,10 o'clock Monday evening when a mg oar, presumably a Caddillac, without lights, pulled up in front of the service station, one man alighting and asking the other occupants of the car what kind of sandwiches they wanted. They answered "barbecues" The proprietor of the service station went to the door and unlocked the screen, which had been hooked for the night, and theij proceeded back to the counter where the visitor repeated his order of "barbecues" and in the same breath ordered Nebel to *%tick 'em up." Three other men were in the room by that time and Mrs. Nebel, who was in a room to the rear, was ordered to join her husband and lie down beneath the counter. All of the invaders carried guns. One stood guard at the rear door, another bandit held a gun on Nebel while a third one searched his pockets and a fourth one was busy at the cash register and cigar case. The fifth man remained in the car and at the approach of a car warned those inside "to make it snappy." The four robbers left hurriedly with about $40 in cash, candy and cigars, and the car pulled away, headed east through McHenry. Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Nebel came here this spring from Arlington Heights, to conduct the station.

The tragedy occurred on the north side of the lake, not far from the previous drowning, with Matgaret Jugel, 13-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reinhart Jugel of 4715 Wrightwood avenue, Chicago, as the victim. Bruno Kutz, 36 years old, of Chicago, a bridegroom of two months, was drowned in the lake on July 6. The young girl, with her parents, had driven out from Chicago to spend the day with friends residing in a cottage on the north side of the lake and Sunday afternoon, in an effort to escape the intense heat, went in lathing. Walking out from the shore she suddenly stepped into a deep hole end before help could reach her she had disappeared beneath the surface of the lake. The body was recovered a short time later, but all efforts at resuscitation were futile. The body was removed to the NrJ. Justen & Son Undertaking parlors, where the coroner's inquest was. held Sunday afternoon. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of "accidentally di owned while bathing in McCollum's lake." On Monday morning the body was taken to Chicago, where funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon with burial in Montrose Cemetery. HOUSEHOLD CUSTOMERS FAVORABLE TO NEW RATE Te new residential electric rate put into effect August 1, by the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois has been generally received with favor by household customers throughout northern Illinois, according to report received from that company. Although the reduction will save residential customers throughout the territory of te company more than a million dollars over a period of twelve months, says the company, the saving may not be imediately apparent to some users because of the fact that the new rate went into effect at a time when bills are normally higher on account of shorted daylight hours and the corresponding increase in the use of light about the house. It is pointed out by the company that customers must bear in mind that August and September bills always are a little higher, compared te those of the mudsummer months, and that the extent of this latest rate reduction can be realized best considering a full year's use of service. Both residential and commercial customers have the privilege of re turning to the old rate schedule, if they prefer it, at any time they so desire. C. D.
