Thi3 was Mr. Neiss' first meeting and with a little assistance from the ex-clerk, Ray Conway, acted like a veteran at the job. Most of Conway's evening was occupied in manipulating his new cigar holder, which was le£t him by Santa Claus. The city treasurer's report, showing a balance of $8,565.26, was read and approved. The city collector reported collections of $618.29, which was approved. The city clerk also reported collections of $267.36.

McHenry Again Represented Not since 1880 has the city of Mc- threatened outbreak wast due to Henry been represented in the state | timely and energetic efforts of made. The following article was taken from the Illinois Health Messenger, of the January issue: "One of the finest demonstrations of perfect control over the spread of communicable diseases which has ever been recorded in Illinois took place last fall in Evanston when the captain of Northwestern University •football team came down with small pox. He had the only case that developed although a large number -of unvaccinated people were exposed. "Preventing the spread of this the Dr. legislature when F. K. Granger was! John W. H.

By the apportionment oj 1872 McHenry and Lake countiejr became the eighth district entitles to three representatives, h 1882, Lake, McHenry and Boone figunies were made the eighth senatfrial district. ^Like F. K. Granger, Mr. Bishop was 4'supervisor of the town of McHenry for many years, both were prominent business men of McHenry and both were natives of New York state. In the spring of 1844 Mr. Bishop came west, finally arriving at McHenry while about ten years later, in 1853, Mr. Granger migrated westward, also arriving in McHenry a few years later. " In 1888 McHenry county chose its first representative to the legislatMre, •lecting a Democrat by a considerable majority. The county was solidly has more than 3,000,000 people only *738 cases of smallpox have been reported during the seven years ended •with 1929 while in Illinois outside that city where the population stands at something over 4,000,000 there have been 11,431 cases during the same years. The system used by Chicago is the prompt and energetic vaccination of all unvaccinated people in any part of the city upon the appearance of the first case of smallpox. That system works wherever the facilities of the health department permit its a pond for skating. Sandbags are being used for a temporary dam for the lower part of the field. The matter was turned over to the superintendent of water, who, assisted by Mr. Feltac, will see that the hydrant is handled properly so it will not be damaged by freesing. Order Auditor's Bill Paid The bill from Auditor North, amounting to $75, was ordered paid. This bill was fo"r the checking of the report of Mr. Bonslett submitted to the board at their last meeting. A letter was received from Mr. Wells of the Wells Engineering Co., relative to Mr. Ashley's report of the previous meeting at which Bonslett submitted his report to the board. Mr. Wells easily explained the apparent errors noted by Mr. Bonslett as misinterpretation of the reports used and said that the statements were «o wrong that it appeared as if the author of the report was liable for misrepresentation of the facts. Consider Matter Closed A motion by Krause, seconded by Doherty, that the report of Auditor North and the letter of the Wells En gineering Co., be impounded with Bonslett's report and filed together for future reference so that the mat ter might remain closed for all time, was passed unanimously. A letter from the state health de partment was read giving the city an opportunity to have their water supply tested periodically without expense outside the mailing of samples. The board advised the clerk to send for containers. A bill from Atty. f>. T. Smiley for $250 for defending the city in the Busch case was tabled as they were not certain the case was entirely settled. A letter from C. P. Barnes in behalf of the James Anderson Co., engineers, threatening suit for work started by them on the Spencer hill paving project was read and tabled for the present. Mrs. Leah Brown requested part payment on the judgment held •against the city and it was decided to pay $300 and accrued interest to date. Clarron Eddy was present and spoke in reference to tree surgery work in the city park. As it was not just clear about what is needed to be done he was asked to meet with Aid. Schaefer and give an estimate as to the expense of putting the trees in first-class shape. The meeting adjourned about 10 o'clock. Merchants Are Finishing Inventories) and Preparing For An Improved Trade In 1931 1 Well, the holidays are over and those good old days where there are about three Sundays in every week have passed into the history of another year, while the people of McHenry, as well as the entiite county, are becoming adjusted to meet the events of the new year 1931. The merchants are also busy checking "Up after the Christmas rush and getting their stock back to normal with many of them engaged in "taking inventory during the next few weeks. The postoffices are getting back to their regular routine once more after the Christmas season which surpassed all records of previous years and are catching up on their work, which was so greatly increased during the past few weeks. On Monday the boys and girls started back to school after their holiday vacation and are discarding their new toys and Christmas gifts for their school books and other interests while the teachers are settling down to the routine which will be uninterrupted until spring. Many of the pretty green Christmas trees are now to be seen adorning the back yards of many homes in our city while mother is busy sweeping and cleaning after the confusion of the holidays, packing away gifts and exchanging duplicates for the family. Father also has plenty to do during these post-holiday weeks, being kept busy receiving bills and writing checks and perhaps snatching opportunities to try out his new pipe or the cigars which will do, although they are the wrong brand. These will continue to be busy days for with the old year and Christmas in the background the events of the future are already demanding our attention and our thoughts and efforts are bent on making a success of the present and hoping for the success of the future.

Colahan of Woodstock and D. W. Ewing of Crystal Lake, went as delegate last week to the seventy-seventh annual meeting of the Illinois State Teachers' association at Springfield. Various prominent state educators delivered addresses during the sessions and election of asociation officers was held. Among the"speakers were Governor Emmerson, President Chase of the University of Illinois, Judge Florence E. Allen of the Ohio State Supreme Court and the only wbman supreme judge in the United States, and Major Robinson. One of the features of the opening program qf the meeting was the annual state spelling contest, in which McHenry county was represented by Elizabeth Hudek, 13-year-old Fox River Grove school girl, who was accompanied to Springfield by her teacher, M iss May Desmond. Awards to the winners were made by Francis G. Blair, state superintendent of public instruction. 0 Several allied organizations, including the State Attendance Officers' association, the County Superintendents' association and the City Superintendents' association met in connection with the larger group. Problems of school finances, larger school districts, teachers' pensions, social and professional training of teachers, probation and advanced educational ideals were treated by the gathering during the three days' session.

The boys played a few games and were then dismissed with taps played by the two buglers, George Johnson and Richard Vycital. There were twenty-three Scouts and officials present Monday night. This was a very good representation considering the bad weather and it shows the interest of the boys in their organization. This troop is rated as one of the best in McHenry county, although a good many people in McHenry would not realize it. LOWELL NYE, Reporter. AMONG THE SICK . Mrs. Mary Smith is recovering from a two weeks' illness at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Nick Freund, on Waukegan street. James Frisby has been confined to his bed at his home on Green street for the past week on account of illness. Michael Knox has been ill at his home near Terra Cotta for the past week. Mrs. W. Bonham of Chicago, wife of Rev. Bonham, pastor of the M. E. church in this city, has been a patient for the past week in the Wesley Memorial hospital, Chicago, where she received treatment. Jack Thies, wholesale candy dealer of McHenry, went to St. Joseph's sanitarium at Weddron, 111., near Ottawa, Tuesday, where he will receive treatment. He was sccompanied to the sanitarium by his wife, Mrs. Thies, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Peterson, Fa ther Nix and Father Wietecamp. equal number are Democrats. The present makeup of the legisla* ture finds the Republicans in complete control of the senate, with 33 to 18 Democratic senators. In the house the situation is different for though the Republicans have the majority a switch of five Republican votes would jeopardize that control. The house membership is 16S, with 61 Sepoblkans aiMk -iil TONYAN ELECTED SECRETARY The board of directors of The Farm ers Oil Ass'n. of McHenry, McHenry County, Illinois, held their regular meeting Saturday, January 3, and elected William B.

Many of the 1931 automobile license plates are now in evidence and are quite attractive and easily read in their new colors of green and black From now on the new plates will increase rapidly as applications in large numbers are being made daily. The Illinois law provides that application shall be made on or before January 1 for new plates and that the car may be driven until the plates ar rive, if the owner shall carry proof that he has made such application. In Indiana the law differs .somewhat and as a result several arrests are made every year. The Indiana law provides that no car shall be driven in the state unless plates for the current year are attached. The fact that one has applied for a license but not received it has no effect on the authorities in that state. ^ SCHOOL CONVENES AGAIN"? School commenced on Monday after Jthe holiday vacation and the pupils and teachers are settling down to the weeks of study before another holiday. Consent slips were sent out the first of the week regarding vaccination which will be commenced soon. The same plan as last year will be carried out with the school board paying 25 cents and the parent 50 cents for each vaccination. . CAR FAILS TO MAKE TURN AND SKIDS INTO CURB A Ford coupe skidded into the curb on the corner at Routes 61 and 20 Sunday night, turning over, badly wrecked. The dense fog and slippery pavements made driving a hazardous undertaking over the week-end and many accidents through the country resulted from the very bad conditions. The driver of the Ford coupe evidently did not see the curve in time to slow down sufficiently to make the turn on the icy pavement and the result was the wrecked car although he escaped with minor injuries. The driver comes from Michigan. Prices Have Hit The Bottom Speaking of prices on all kinds of merchandise, hwre . you been reading the present quotations by the m#rohants in their advertising T The dayB of war-time prices are over and we are getting back to a normal situation. Kow is the time to make your purchases, because it is believed that the bottom has been reached. For instance, in this week's issue of the Plaindealer will be found a full-page ad, which contains dozens of items priced the lowest for several years. This merchant states that the prices have hit the bottom and that the vfllucs offered during this sale are ,the most outstanding in years. We hear talk that business is bad. Well, if it is, it is m because the people who could buy now are waiting for better times and lower prices. Better times will come just as soon as ^ie people realize that the prices are down and do their buying now. The news columns of the lag newspapers now are beginning to carry stories of the large number of men who are being put back to work. The upward trend in business has started, but it is going to take time--this cannot be accomplished all at once. One thing that will help very materially is for those who can buy, necessities at least, to do so now. They will have nothing to gain i>y waiting, for the prices are as low aB they will be. - Do you want to help,your own community get back on its feet? Then do your shopping at home. Homebuying will kill hard times. Think this ovet*, folks. Give the local merchants at least the first chance. Quality considered, he can and does sell just as low as the city store or the mail order houses. TWO CARS TAKE TO DITO# » ON ROUTE 61, SUNDAY Two automobiles overturned on Route 61, near the W. B. Tonyan farm between McHenry and Ringwood Sunday morning when they skidded on the slippery pavement. A Dodge sedan from Whitewater, Wis., turned over twice and landed in the ditch, wrecking it badly, although the four occupants were only slightly injured. The. car was towed to Whitewater, its passengers making the trip in the bus. A Chevrolet coach skidded on the same curve and landed on its top in the ditch without injuring the driver and only wrecking the windshield. The car was set upright and continued under its ®wn power. UNDER PEACE BONDS Morris Taxman is under $1,000 peace bonds, following a hearing in the state's attorney's office at Woodstock last Saturday. Mr. Taxman has staged several pugilistic bouts with McHenry residents during the- past several months and his final attempt with Joe Engeln recently, resulted in the notification of the police and the filing of information against Taxman charging disorderly conduct. The offender and his wife signed the bond. SKATING POND The young folks of McHenry will 'soon have a pond for skating if Uie plans of the business men, school board and high school pupils materi •aiize. Work is under way preparing the football field at the Community high school so that it can be flooded, making a pond for skating. SanH bags are being filled and arranged se that the water may be kept in bounds, when it is released over the field. Work will soon start on the a*;- unit of the new Blumberg building to be erected in Waukegan on the site of the old Central Hotel building, recently burned, on the corner of Water . and Genesee streets. An expenditure of $200,000 will be made before the . project is completed. Frank Miller of Marengo narrowly , J escaped death one morning last week* when his car skidded on the icy road and stalled $n the track in front of a fast passenger train: Mr. Miller realized his danger and jumped out cf / the car just before the train hit ft, completely wrecking the Ford. The heroism of Donald Spencer. a 13-year-old Rock Falls boy, who leaped into the icy waters of the Henae pin canal to rescue his 9-year- old brother, cost him his life.. He succeeded in getting him safely to shorn, and then, completely exhausted, sank to his death. His brother is fat 4^ serious condition, suffering fr«a|l pneumonia. John Redecker, 33, a Palatine township farmer, who had barricaded himself in a lonely cabin on the RoseHe-t Schaumberg road and alarmed the countryside with threats of running amuck, was captured without a strug- ' gle Wednesday of last week when county highway police tossed a tear gas bomb through the window while he slept. Thieves broke into the safe of Dr. J. F. Bennett's office at Burlington, Wis., one noon recently and stole $4® in cash and a quantity of morphine stored there for safe keeping. They apparently were experts at solving combinations, as the safe was closed and locked, with no damage done to ft, after the theft. Records for fire losses for the fiscal year that ended June 30 last, given in the annual report of the department of trade and commerce, show that there were 9,432 fires in Illinois, outside Chicago, and the damage totaled $12,316,052. One hundred counties reported. Pope and Calho^n^ county escaped fire loss entirely, ac-~~ cording to the records. The classification of properties damaged by fires shows that dwellings, stores ami barns accounted for more than half of the total losses. Fire, breaking out in the factory of G. F. Stiefenhoefer & Son at Barrington at 1 o'clock Tuesday morning of last week, burned part of the office partition, some furniture, a portion of the ceiling, and destroyed a Ford automobile, a wagon, and damaged a truck body, before it was extinguished by the Barrington fire department. Damage was estimated at $2,500. The cause of the fire is unexplained, but the fact that it apparently originated near the electric switch box leads to the belief that it may have been due to defective wiring. Lester Marshall, 20, of Harvard^a bridegroom of six months, was fatally injured about 10 o'clock Saturday night, Dec. 27, when he leaped through a window at the home of his stepmother, Mrs. Fred Behrendt, at Harvard, severing his jugular vein. Death occurred in five minutes. Marshall's widow fcdld a coroner's jury that her husband came home intoxicated and later started to leave the house. She urged him not to go out again, and when he persisted she locked the door to keep him home. Marshall insisted he was going out anyway and leaped through the window. Automobile and truck licenses issued during 1930 number 1,638,260, according to figures on file in the office of Secretary of State William J. Stratton. The figure is an increase FIRST MARRIAGE LICENSE A McHenry girl, Miss Laura Michels, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Simon Michels of Riverside Drive, and Raymond P. Van Heirseele of Waukegan have the distinction of being the first couple to take out a marriage license in McHenry county in 1931. The license was granted on Friday, Jan. 2, and the marriage will take on Saturday, Jan. 10. 1 » . - .. ^ ( RESIDENCE CHANGES " Mr. and Mrs. Nick Adams moved this week from the Brefeld flat on Main street to Waukegan where he will operate a garage. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Freund moved this week from the Jacob Diedrich house on Court street to the house owned by the same man on Ringwood road. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Diedrich and j family expect to move some time before March 1 from their farm to their house vacated by Ed Freund. PAY R. N. A. DUES Members of the Fox River Valley Camp, R. N.

Later it was , revealed tlftrt the dog in question was ; locked up at the time she heard the noise. The entire damage was estimated at $600 by Brzezinski. Coroner John L.
