Volume 67 WELL MANAGED MM 9f COUNTY OFFKEISJiUDEDI AUDITOR'S STATEMENT IS DETAILED r^* - ^.,1, ^ fl S it.." • •r - North and company, certMed trtibTtc accountants of Chicago, have prepared comparative statements tor the eight year period ending NOT. 3d, 1940, of the various offices in the comity, fallowing an audit authorised by the board of supervisors. The report was submitted to the finance committee of the county board last Thursday for study and recommendation to the coming board meeting on Sept. 9. The report is somewhat different from that made public by the Taxpayers' Federation a few weeks ago in that it highly commends the various county officers for their efficient work in handling the affairs of the county over this period of time. Th? taxpayers' group in their report, which was not certified, criticised 'various operations of county officers. The North company made numerous comparisons of many items of expense with detailed figures shown In other counties. In almost erery case some definite reason for the difference was indicated. In general, according to the report, all purchases are made at the BEST PRICES OBTAINABLE for quality purchased. The cost in other counties, according to the report, is generally higher all things considered. foaaly Clerk In examining Exhibit B, which exhibit reflects the operations of the ooanty clerk, the auditor calls attention to the main items of income that are not charged for by the county, deck.. To mention a few: Attending board and committee meeting* and court; recording births and deaths. The extra work done in McHenry county should also be considered. In preparation of taxes the clerk has over FORTY-SIX THOUSAND ITEMS, or almost as many as would be expected la a county of SIXTY to SIXTY-FIVK thousand population. The forfeitures in tax matters in McHenry county are much higher than in other counties of like population in the state due. of course, to the many lots and subdivisions In the county. The auditor points out that the county clerk pays all salaries out of his collections and has paid to the county treasurer in net earnings the sum of $30,245.76 during the past eight years. Clmll deck •ach year during the sight fpar period of comparisons the report shows that the circuit clerk has paid to the county treasurer large sums of aeoaey in earnings through operating his office. This sum is out of the fees collected and has been from $4,500 to $5,800 each of the eight years. No tees in this office are collected from the In making comparisons with other counties it must be remembered that the large volume of work of recording is due to the large numbers of lots and subdivisions in McHenry county and the resulting transfers. The auditor calls attention to this office, which pays all salaries out of flees collected and pays funds not required into the general fund to kelp defray expenses of other non-revenue departments. Sheriff's Office The auditor reports that this office has paid fo the county treasurer not less than $1,200, and as much as $3,- tlO in each of the years reviewed. The operations of this office, as shown, do not include items of feeding prisoners or automobile maintenance. These items are paid out by county order. Tbe office does pay salaries and has always shown a net profit each year. County Collector ' * The cost of collections is showii ms commissions in this office and is Included in the earnings of the county treasurer. The office has a huge net earning each year over and above the general expense of operations. General Comment An inventory of all physical or personal property is now being ma Yalues of real estate, lots and buildtags have not been completed to date A determining of such values when completed will be available to the public is through the county clerk's office. The auditor suggests that the fl nance committee give consideration to the installation of a complete-1 of double entry books. The auditor rectignizeb that the county clerk will ho given a considerable amount of extra work under this system, but type of recording would be very bene Ocial and highly desirable, he be lieves.

Officers Vemmeeied Auditor North's report has to do With County Clerk Raymond D. Woods, Circuit Clerk Will T. Conn. Sheriff Lester Mlnger and County Treasurer C. Frank Daly. Tbe report is highly commendatory of the services of these officials and shows that the affairs of McHenry county are well managed in the Interest of the Steople who live in and pay the taxes of the county.

FINED FOR SPEEDING Harry Pigg, 24 years old, was arrested for speeding last Wednesday night and fined $100 and costs by Magistrate Grant Nolan. The arrest was made by Stanley Sevcik and Willard Sherman. The officers claim Pigg was speeding on the city square at Woodstock and when they attempted to stop him he gave them chase. The officers caught up to him near the Pigg farm on the Alden road. R is said several shots were fired at the Pigg car during the chase. MIMtMMWIHM# Anon* the 3iak "Z-r. ,v ' ^ • , • ' * £. -f , In view of the large amount of tends appropriated by the federal government for new defense roads, the auditor says it may be advisable to have the road and bridge committee work out a comprehensive road program with the highway commissioners of the various townships.

CARY MAN SUCCEEDS • RAY PAGE AS HEAD •\ OF COUNTY LEGION When the McHenry bounty Legion met last Thursday night at Hebron, Ben Magnuson, a Cary barber, was elected commander to succeed Ray Pace ef McHenry. A month ago Rob-' ert Lindh of Cary was elected ccmfor the new year, but due to reasons Lindh was una hie to serve. Magnuson was selected hi his place. Magnuson took over the new position immediately following his election when he eras inducted into office by Stanley S. Schmeiding of Plain* field, district commander, who acted as installing officer for the evening. Other officers inducted included Albin J. Kuppe of Woodstock as senior vice-commander and Robert Duff of Harvard as junior vice-commander. Chris W. Klabunde of Woodstock waa installed as sergeant at-arms. The new county commander is well known in the Legion. He served aa commander of hia post and for several years he has been head of the committee on speakers for county meetings. The outgoing commander leaves a fine record of service for the year. Not only did he pilot the organisation to a new record in membership hut he also displayed much interact hi all projects sponsored by the county organisation and the various twelve jposts which make up the council. He attended the various district meetings, the state convention and wUl go to Milwaukee as a delegate from the county to the national convention. The county Legion posts plan to invade Milwaukee in large numbers. Commander Page will set up headquarters in the Antlers hotel. With the Woodstock high school band in the -parade it is expected all Legionnaires from the county will march behind the band. This will be something new in national conventions to have a county musical organisation in the line of march. Commander Page announced last week that the county reached a membership of 840 during the year which surpasses the previous high of 822 in 1980.

Kenneth Franzen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard CORP. KENNETH L. FRANZEN Fransen of West McHenry, who has been stationed nt Fort Bragg* N. C., since he entered the army just a year our own equipment and personal belongings. Each platoon has its own special jbb to do and each man is assigned to his duties. In that way everything is done in a short time. There is only ona filing wrong, and that is we might get run over-if we are not careful, because we work under a blackout and there are trucks going In every direction in the motor post. My personal job is to speed our company trucks up so that they get to the supply room. I have to^find a clear driveway out of the regimental area and see that they are in their place sn the convoy- Ft sounds easy, but if one does»n't have pcrfect timing, he may have to move a hundred trucks back in order to fit in two more trucks. Having re^d about sdme of this so-called "low morale" in the army, here are just a few views from someone who really lives and plays the game. Sure it is true that thg fellows grumble about theae months they are spending in the army, but that is natural. We are kept pretty busy, as I have pointed out above, and usually we dont know what our next move will be. When, we do have spare time we £ont spend it reading at] the details of every news item, so our current knowledge is small. When we do read, it Is naturatly about ourselves. Thus, we are not very well informed about the European situation or the various sports or about some new movie. Slogans such as "Over the Hill in October" are made up mainly to heckle each other or to kid our officers. I assure you very few take these phrases seriously. We have those reporters down here milling around, too, but they are only around when we have time to talk and fool around a bit. ' You'll never find them anywhere in sight when we really go to work. They couldn't keep up with us if they tried. How can they pass judgment on people when they don't even see them pitch? Certainly, there have been a few cases where a soldier has been mistreated. Considering though, that many of our officers are new and inexperienced and that due to the people's greed in mass production, some of our equipment is so defective as to have caused the death of a few who depended on that equipment. I believe that the percentage of those . ft is expected that several who rag. istared recently after becoming of age will be called op for service t* help <Ul the quota for this month. McHenry county will have fiftyseven young men eligible for discharge from the army under the new Selective Service law.

Hello Folks, Well, tomorrow makes a year that I have been in the army, and a most eventful one for the world in general Havent done much here for the paat week. There is now a period before maneuvers wherein everyone is going to school of one kind or another. They have me detailed to take a divisional course in rough and tumble fighting which I will have to teach my company . . after I have mastered it. Each morning I help teach Regimental Machine Gun school and from 1 to 2 p. m. I go to the Fight school, From 2 until 4:30 I take a crew of twenty-three men to .the. beach for swimming lessons. Soma days I do a little fishing and I usually go to a movie or for a ride of an evening. As far as I know now we will go on maneuvers for about six weeks in INCREASE IN ISSUANCE ' OF MARRIAGE L1CEN8ES The first eight months ot, 1941 has shown an increase in $»e issuance of marriage licensee,*.

The top month this year and last year was June *hen fifty-six licenses were issued tnth years. A total ot forty licenses wore iesuad during each of the past two months.

INTERESTING NEARBY NEWS fact that tuberculosis, while still known as a dread disease, is being effectively halted through the efforts of modern science is proved in a report from Dr. Charles K.
