McHenry people should rejoice over the fact that their rate dropped from $4.06 in 1929 to $3.60 for 1930 taxes.

Waukegan In Turmoil Over City Politics • .••--I. • The storm clouds which have blackened the horizon of Waukegan's poli tics during the past week through the discovery that the election notices for the recall were not posted within the time allotted by law, seem to have cleared somewhat and it appears in the opinion of the majority of the leading lawyers of that city that the recall cannot be contested, at least until after the election and seating of aldermanic candidates. It has been definitely determined that the recall, while it may be invalid, cannot be contested until after the election April *21. There still remains the question, however, as to whether the new aldermanic council will be able to function without interference from contest proceedings which some voter in the city might start in the grounds that the recall election and primary notices were not published in accordance with the law, and therefore are void. Several Waukegan attorneys are of the opinion that quo waranto proceedings can be instigated against the aldermanic council members which mighteither result in their ouster, or malice illegal any official act the council might attempt through the passage of ordinances covering bond issues or other important actions.

Smith of Lake county is slated to argue before Judge E. D. Shurtleff in the McHenry county circuit -court in order to enter the state as an objector in the Lake Zurich case, in which cottagers are fighting alleged owners of the water to get public use of it. Col. Smith will argue that Lake Zurich always has been considered public property and that as early as 1840 it was deemed navigable. Pat ents and deeds to the lake bed issued by the government were void, he will argue, because Illinois had been admitted as a state prior to the issuance of the deeds. Boats for pleasure excursions have navigated the lake for fifty years, he contends, and adds: "I believe that the lakes in this county should not be closed to the public. Most of the lakes have been Used without challenge for many years and it is only recently that an attempt has been made to .close them," he pointed out. Mrs. Margaret Ptearce and August Froelich, president of the village of Lake Zurich, claim the ownership of the lake bed and the right to control the manner in which the lake is used. They possess the deeds from the government that Col. Smith contends were issued after statehood and would be in conflict with the enabling act of 1818. The suit was brought originally by cottage owners in the Lake Zurich district through Attorney Peter Nel son. The cottage owners represent close to 100. parcels of land that was purchased, they contend, with the understanding that there would be lake rights. there are in these days, who wonder whether they have lost that vital element to happiness--the milk of human kindness.
