CIIY COUNCIL ' MARCH MEET1N6 MONDAY EVENING Monday , evening found the city council of McRenry convening for the regular March meeting. After approving minutes of the past meeting, the board showed particular interest in reports for the past month. The treasurer's report showed kbalance of $9,603.21 in the genral fund, $796.37 in th« rtotor fuel tax fund, $1,547.72 m special sewer Account and $5,612.15 as special assessment balance. The city collector's report showed that $1,844.08 had been collected. Of this amount $710.66 was collected on sewer accounts and $1,183.42 on water bills. Added to this amount was $50.23 collected on special assessment. The clerk's report showed that the sum of $441.25 had been collected during the month of February. All but a small portion of this amount was collected on the sale of 1938 vehicle licenses. A checkup showed a far greater number of vehicle licenses sold during the months of January and February this year than in the same period in the previous year. The trend seems to be to buy early and avoid penalties in the form of added cost each delinquent month. Police and caretaker of streets reported favorable conditions in their departments. The superintendent of vftaterworks presented a list of delinquent water bills, which were referred to the committee in charge. F. C. Feltz presented interesting data on the operation of the disposal plant. In spite of high water conditions, the charts indicated a reduction of between 10,000 and 12,000 gallons per day. This is attributed mainly to the recent installation of new sewer PUBLIC [COMPANY SAVINGS OF FROM 5% TO 8.8 PERCENT FLOYD THOMPSON, 48, NATIVE OF M'HENRY f PASSED AWAY FRIDAY utility services.

This makes a total of $2,685,000 annual reductions in rates by this community since 1934, On May 2 of that year the commission ordered electric rates reduced $1,300,000 annually, and in October, 1937, there was another cut of $666,000. During the administration of Governor Horner the commerce commission has reduced utility rates in Illinois over $20,000,000 annually, including the present reduction.

Phone 6S-M. 42-fp The Republican priinary state campaign was opened Monday afternoon at the Miller Theater in Woodstock, when State Rep. Richard J. Lyons. Libertyville, candidate for the United States Senate, and bis running mates on the regular Republican slate started h three weeks' cafip&ign of speechmaking. . Demanding that the administration cease its attacks on business and institute a constructive campaign to stop mounting unemployment and give Jobs bock to those on relief, Lyons placed the blame for the present business recession squarely at the door bt the administration and its policies/ "After wasting billions and billions of dollars, we find that we are today In a worse position than we were in 1933 when the New Deal took over the destinies of the United States," Lyons declared. Pointing to the expenditure of some 17 billions of dollars and more, he declared that there could be no real re-employment until a balanced program of economy In government and easing of the strain on business made it possible to return men now cn relief and the PWA to their old Jobs. "We must mind our own business and avoid foreign entanglements which may draw us into war," Lyons added as he pointed to the dangers Inherent in the present unsettled condition of international affairs. "That these are serious times, f»w will deny. For nine years, the problem of unemployment and relief has been the chief concern of ^he American people. In this land of plenty, millions of our fellow citizens are unable ta provide themselves with the necessities of life. There is ne excuse for any man, willing and able to work, to be jobless In this great nation. No one will question that a continuation of these conditions must Inevitably lead to a weakening of the moral and spiritual fibres of our nation. "At the present time a drastic business recession Is in progress. Unemployment is on the Increase. Business is uarasaed--badgered uy admiUMirative spokesmen, handicapped by regulations and burdened with taxation. Uncertainty exists throughout t h o land. "This sad state of affairs ia a challenge to those who aspire to high public office. I accept this challenge and pledge to the people of Illinois, that as your United States Senator, I shall dedicate my untiring efforts to the solution of this great problem. "People everywhere are tired of the confusion and the chaos that prevails. During the past 5 years many golden promises have been made to them. The present administration has sought to make you believe that you are better off than when they took office. You and I, and everyone else, knows that these promises have not been fulfilled. The people are NOW demanding results-- not promises. And in this connection I wish to state that the Republican party is not entitled to the support of the people, unless it can show a better way. This we will do. "During the campaign it will be necessary for us to be critical of the administration's policies. However, we are going to be constructive--not destructive, in our criticism. "We, as stockholders in this great corporation the United States of America--have a right to an accounting from the management. It becomes the duty of the Republican party to audit the books of this great corporation. As auditors, we must know tthe present financial condition of the corporation and its prospects for the future. If our investigation shows that there has been mismanagement, bad judgment, etc., then It is time for a change. "And what DOES our audit show? "In the five years since 1933, the present administration has spread a host of experimental legislation on the statute books; spent 17 billion dollars outright; Incurred some 5 billion dollars erf contingent liabilities, such as HOLD bonds, etc.; and Increased the national debt to $38,000,000,000. And yet. after 6 years, no less an authority than Gen. Hugh Johnson, at one time member of the Washington administration, said recently in a syndicated article, that this nation if farther from recovery today than it was five years ago. "Only last week Martin P. Durkln, Director of the Illinois State Department of Labor, said that employment and payrolls in Illinois industry In January of this year showed the largest decline recorded for the month In the past 16 years. "Even the President, himself, admits that conditions are grave and inemployment increasing. In his message to Congress on February 10th, in asking for an additional $250,000,000 for relief and work relief, he stated that 3 million men had lost their employment within the 3 months of November, December and January, and that by reason thereof, it was necessary to have an additional appropriation for toads. "After wasting billions and billions of dollars, we find that we are today in a worse position than We were in 1933 when the New Deal took over the destinies of the United States. The New Deal stated in full page advertisements and over the radio that there would be work, for everybody and security for all. And what have we at present? Nothing but more unemployment and greater disintegration ol American life than ever before in the history of this country. (Continued on last page.) MBS.
