FRANK FREUND of Mrs. Martin H. Freund of Johnsburg, exchanged matrimonial vows before the flower decorated altars of St. John's church, Johnsburg, at nine o'clock/Wednesday morning, February 5, wito the Rev. A. J. Neidert officiating. The bride was lovely in a light blue silk chiffon dress with a long train. Her fingertip veil fell from a crown of orange blossoms and she carried a bridal bouquet of white roses. She wore a pearl necklace which was a gift of her maid of honor. The bride's only attendant, Miss Marie Lay, a niece of the bride, was attired in a floor length dress of pink net; (her bouquet contained sweet peas. \ Louis Pitzen, a close friend of the grbom, was the latter's attendant; both wore conventional dark suits. Servers at the altar were Roman and Paul Schmitt, nephews of the bride, and Lloyd and Robert Freund, nephews of the groom. Following the ceremony, the bridal party attended a wedding breakfast at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Freund, the former being the groom's brother. Twenty guests, all members of the immediate families, attended the one o'clock dinner which was served at the John Schmitt home near Johnsfourg. Later in the day the happy pair left on a honeymoon, keeping their destination unknown. Mrs. Freund was graduated from St. John's parochial school and from Selan's Beauty school in Chicago, the latter with honors. She is now conducting her own beauty shop at Johnsburg. Mr. Freund is an industrious young man and is a carpenter by trade. Both young people have always lived in the vicinity of Johnsburg where they have legions of friends who wish them lots of happiness in their newly chosen life.

Use a piece of soft leather and apply to marble surface. Total $ .49 $ .89 Difference is 40 cents higher rate for 1940. There is about a $300,000 increase in the assessed valuation from 1988 to 1940, so that ha# lowered the 1940 rates a few cents on the same levy. I have a $15,885 assessed value. The 40 cent higher rate will cost me $63.54. So if you take your assessed value and multiply it by 40 cents on your assessed value that is your extra taxes for 1940. Here is some of the increase of the 1940 levy as per the 1940 report: Supervisor's salary and fees, $444, as against 1938 report, $210; assessor's fees for $775, as against 1938 of $555. In regard to last year's supervisor's report, I find that he has credited himself with paying $3,771.06 for township bills, while the bills actually figure, as reported, only $3,- 736.06, discrepancy of $35.00. He has credited himself with paying $6,588.89 for poor orders, but the orders listed figure only $6,538.89, a discrepancy of $50.00, and the list of poor families, for which he credited himself with paying $6,588.89, add up only $6,- 321.84, a discrepancy of $267.05. These figures correspond with the figures Mr. Walsh, the town clerk, handed me about ten days before his death. I left in the township treasury on April 1, 1938, in cash, $4,367.81, and as the collector's statement showed over $500 in back tiutes and the 1938 levy of $6,000 for township expenses, which in the last year's supervisor's report shows Was most alt\ collected, and now he has made anticipation warrants against the 1940 leVy, which taxes will not be collected until May. In regard to our township fire department, the only one in the county, I cannot see any benefit from it so far. I have not received any reduction on my insurance. I carry most of my insurance in the McHenry Township Mutual Fire Insurance Co., and this year I have been assessed $7.50 more than I have been in the last two years, and as far as I know the rate is the same outside the township as in the township. I carry $7,500 insurance on my city property, some in the same company and some in commercial companies, which has cost me $16.00 per year for several years. I have been assessed for the last several years on my city property, including my personal assessment, $8,510. The last year rate for the fire district was 16 cents, which added $13.62 to my taxes on the city property. S. H. FREUND, Taxpafff* FOR SALE!--200 bu. seed wheat, extra fine, test 16%.
