W. North which have been referred to in this column by a former alderman of the city, the present city council is authorizing the publication of these letters. This will give the voters an opportunity to judge for themselves the merits of the case. WELLS ENGINEERING COMPANY Civil and Sanitary Engineers January 30, 1931. Mr. John Knox, Mayor, McHenry, III. V Dear Sir: We appreciate the faqf^that Statements and replies relative to any controversy that ere carried on by cor- --,J" I'V?- age, located in Spring Grove. Very reasonable. Inquire of Frank L.

Here is one comment we got from jersey COWS FOR SALE--Will > well-known resident of McHenry. I have my barn Monday, Feb. 16, a *TPhat i$ the first sensible thing, I navel ]oad of Jersey cows.

These respondence are entirely unsatisfac- „ „ tory and we do not intend to continue ENGINE ERI]NG COMPANY these various matters continually, and , „ as he statad t© your Council, he trill InouM have been paid one per cent {not be satisSed until he has SOT the work on "said roll. This roll praetfc*it)F cowed the entire city and before starting laid work we made a price of fSOO.ftO to the Council, which was accepted by them. Relative to our fee on the $3,484.00 we stated that as an emergency existed and as it was necessary to do said work im mediately and the payment was to be made out of the general fund of the city, which fund was to be reimbursed out of a special assessment proceeding that was to follow, we stated we would not bill the general fund for our services but would wait until the special assessment proceedings were completed, which included said $3,484.00, and would collect our fee# at that time., This was understood by the entire Council with possibly the exception of Mr. Bonslett. I presume that" Mr. Bonslett has not malice in the matter but is sincere in his contention. However, he is mistaken in his figures, so if there are any points in connection with ' the above that are not clear to him, we would be pleased to take the matter up personally with him. Otherwise, the matter is closed as far as we areconcerned Respectfully submitted. shewn docmaeatary evidence and then he will not be satisfied since he has already been shown much of the documentary evidence covering the points whioh he has raised--as I.said, it may be that his effort to embarrass you is to try and force a consoltda tioir-of these two positions so that he may be able to fill the office. I expect that, during the month of January, I will be in McHenry and it is entirely possible that I will, at that time, be able to scan the Special Assessments and assist you in preparing your call for the Bonds that are to be retired during the year 1931. If there are any special items that you wish me to cover, please call upon me. ;Y „ Ho«t respectfully yours, JWNjM J. w. NORTH.

Our letter to you on December 2, 1930, which is the basis of Mr. Bonslett's article, is in reply to the charges made by Mr. Bonslett 16 your Council, Which I believe is on file with the city records and of which we have a copy. We suggested that you procure a certified copy of the final order of adjudication from the County Clerk as the copy that Mr. Bonslett was using was not an exact copy. Mr. Bonslett's article states that I have been either misinformed or am telling a deliberate lie. He then states that the exact copy he is using is as follows:, 4 Amount paid and to be paid • contractor $46,686.40 Cost of making, levying and collecting assessment 3,523.54 Cost of engineering 2,646.19 Amount estimated for interest 6,944.37 Amount of awards for land 1,457.50 By E.

LUSK&SON Grayslake, Illinoia - §r-4* $61,837.80 itemized list shown above, which Mr. Bonslett refers to as the one he is now usin<», is substantially a copy of the final order of adjudication except that the item of inspection amounting to $579.80 has been accidentally omitted. However, the one that Mr. Bonslett is now using is materially different from the one that he was formerly using, as may be seen by a comparison of the two schedules listed above, and I believe that our statement in our letter of December 2nd is substantiated and that I have not been misinformed or telling a deliberate falsehood. I refer particularly to the second item which correctly reads: "Cost of making, levying and collecting assessment--$3,523.54," which Mr. Bonslett formerly stated, read as follows: "Making plans and collecting --$3,523.54." We emphasize the above as Mr. Bonslett, in his charge to the Council, had deducted from the $3,523.54, the sum of two per cent allowed the collector, and had stated that the balance of the amount equaling $2,270.54 had- been paid to us in addition to our regular fees.

I feel that the answering of Mr. Bonslett, or any other individual who may be constantly bringing up the same points, evep after they have been answered, indicates an unwillingness on the part of such an individual to acknowledge the tru$h of the statements that are made, and I do not feel that such a taxpayer is doing anything for the benefit of the" City. As you are well aware, I have given of my time on numerous occasions at no expense to the City and I expect that I will continue to do so. You will recall that Mr. Bonslett stated that the only reason that I ever attended a Council Meeting or did anything for the City was because I was being paid for it. Naturally, it is my business to see to it that I am paid for my time since an accountant sells his knowledge on tha basis of the time expended. I fully appreciate that the members of the Council and yourself do not expect me to render services without compensation. You will note that in this bill I covered the time spent in connection with the proposed bond issue that was to have been voted upon this Fall and which issue was dropped before election. Since H. C. Speer & Sons refused to pay the expense incurred in coQnection With the proposed bond issue, I am waiving the charge previously made. Please be advised that, in the future, Total paid Wells Eng.

Do not feel that I am going to levy a charge on all items every time you call on me, as I shall continue to do as I have in the past, but I shall levy a charge on all items which may be raised by Mr. Bonslett. You will recall Mr. Bonslett stated that his report was free from errors and that he did nbtjmake any errors. I admit that we in this office do make errors and we are willing to confess that we do make errors, one of which appears in last year's Teport as "bond" in the amount of $1,250.00. The item was "band." Mr. Bonslett stated, in reading his report on Special Assessment Number 23 Supplemental, there was an amount of cashon hand April 30th in the sum of $36.05. He added to this sum the amount of unpaid Special Assessments" totalled the two of them together and said there was a sufficient amount of money available to pay off a bond and interest. Our report specifically shows an overdraft in this assessment in the sfrm of $36.05 and an amount of cash' d%- hand* J presume Mr. "Bonslett does not call that an error, at least he told you gentlemen that it was not an error.

I agree with Mr. Bonslett that the contractor received $45,600.00 up to and including July 18, 1924. According to our figures there was still due him $1,086.40, making a total of $46,686.40. If the contractor received $47,836.68 then we should have received $34.51 additional fees. In my letter of December 2nd I stated that "the item of $3,528.04 included in the original estimate for court costs was used to pay attorney's fees,, fees to the two commissioners on j effort to humiliate all of those who the condemnation, printing, court were called upon with his insulting JEWELRY ON CREDIT: At Fred T.

Mr. Bonslett stated to me some time ago that he thought they ought to consolidate the duties of the City Clerk and the City Collector and pay a salary of approximately $1800.00 a year to himself to act as City Clerk tual work for inspection fees, and i and City Collector with an office lo- $300.00 for the work of spreading the cated in the City Hall.
