The above are just a few of the articles which were taken in a burglary from the William Maywald home in King's subdivision, Johnsburg, last week in what is believed to have started as a party. Mr. and Mrs. Maywald have been Spending a few weeks in Chicago, but because of frequent visits to their Jchnsburg home left-it well supplied. When their son-in-law, Vera Harmon, arrived at the residence last Monday moraing prior to enjoying a hunting trip, he discovered the home in a stste of confusion.

TWO IMPORTANT ISSUES FACE PUBLICDURING WEEKS TO COME Decide On Bridge Bonds At Polls Nov. 16; Consolidated School Askn Support Nov. 27 RESULTS LAACUSASD IK P06T-ELE0TI0H POLITICAL FASHXOir <§ii next Tuesday, - November - 18, voters of McHenry will decide on the issuance of 880,000 Bridge Bonds needed for the completion of the new Oreen Street fridge and approaches. About a year ago the voters approved a $50,000 bond issue which it was thought would be swfficieat for construction purposes. However, when advertisements for bids were sent out, little interest was shown by contractors I in submitting an actual bid and contract. » When inspection of the old bridge was made a few months ago, the City Henry consolidated grade school is pbni aing a building program. The influx of pupils into the MeHenrj- community during the past few years has over crowded all grade school buildings and the consolidated school realizes that if it i* to take care of the needs of the students coming to its doors, it mast have u great increase'la the number of classrooms. Many of the board members believe that McHenry is in the midst of a popu'atio; i boom. They expect that the growth which has taken place diiring the past several years will continue for Council decided that some action was! some years to eeme. Therefore, in maknecessary. Subsequently, they awarded the contract for construction of the new bridge to the low bidder, the Mass Construction Company of Algonquiu. At the same time it was decided to submit the question of additional bonds ing their plans, they are taking into consideration what vMll likely be the building needs for the next twenty years. The plans call for the immediate construction of sufficient rooms to take care of the needs of the next five yours. But the plans being considered are such to the voters of the city. Should the that if the increase in population coaisauance fail to carry at the coming I tinues, more rooms may be added at special election, it would be necessary need.

AMONG TH£ SICK »»milMIMMMI8HI8MM to delay a portion of the contract which covers approaches and street widening. The city at present has approximately $22,000 credited to its account in Motor Fuel Tax accumlation with the State of Illinois. Application has been made for approval to use this fund the bridge construction. The bonds are set up with the intent to retire a portion of them with Motor Fuel Tax money credited to the city each month. At present the monthly average is about 8300. The construction of a new and wider bridge over Green Street has long been recognised as a defiaite need both from the standpoint of progreeaivenees aad as a safety angle. There scents little doubt as to the voters approving the bond issue at the election next Tuesday. At the time the question reached a point where decisioa was necessary oa the part of the City Couneil, a large delegatioa of business men atteaded a council meeting to express their approval ot the project. ffonsaHlsttd lnhnel The board of educatioa of the Me- While the board, by In energetic revision of their birildiugd during the past summer, have provided rather satisfactory facilities for this year, yet the present buildings do not meet state re^uirementa. In the central buildings, one room is divided into two small classrooms. One is too small to accomo date over twenty pupils, and one rooih has no outlet except through an adjoining room. Too, the junior high school needs much" additional room. Three roonis%are now available. This depm* meat needs four room this year and nt least five next year. The buildings at Lily Lake were revised aad improved this summer but they do not meet modern requirements ia many respects. Therefore, it eaa be seen that the board has rached its limit te providiag space aad that the' epaee that la now available for ocheels is aot eftfaely satisfactory to the state iaspeetora. Outlook fer mt Wfcftaarer bu£h|teg mmgum the f«blie approves, the Tae* TSkiBtiee are aot likely to be available by itoxt September. At that time, it will be necessary to provide four additional reema Jast how the board eaa provide theee rooms, ttw mrc wen avnara. It ttppeirt to\v that only two solutioas are available. (1) Further divisioa of classrooms and (2) division of the gymaaeium into classrooms. Either solution is extreme ly unsatisfactory. The causes for present shortage ot space is two-fold. Birth rates have steadily increased since the very start of the war. Educational authorities of our school checked the county birth records aad found an increase of 86 per cent from 1942 to 1947. The children born in 1»«J are now in the first grade. If one assumes that the increase in sttendance during the next six years will keep pace with the increase in birth rates from 1942 to 1947, one can expect an increaae of 182 Nearly 100 homes were built in the consolidated sehool district this year. Besides the new homes, a certain number of the summer home's have beeu reconditioned for all year-round use. It is hardly conceivable that the home building boom will continue at any such fate. However, it is hard to find a building contractor who does not expect to have all he can do during the next five years. The increase in our schools due to this influx has been over 5 per eent each year. Bealization that these two forces are at work in our community is essential to a real understanding of the local grade sehool situation. Out of this type of thinhing, the board ha# concluded that first a building which will furnish eight of teq additional claeeroflme must be erected haaaediately, aad eecoad, that the gre*ad* for the new buildiag must be aieauatc aad the buildiag plaae muet bfc legible. They must allow for aay eoatiaued growth that maj take place ia this eommaaity. There was some disappointaieat ex pressed in county'political circles the past week concerning the comparatively light vote cast in last week's election in this area. Out of a total registra tion of 29,241, only 21,134 went to the polls, almost 2,000 short of the aa tieipated number. Last week's vote was topped oa two previous occasions, the all-time high having beea hit ia 1940 with 22,917 votes cast, aad the second high year 1944, with 21,899 votee. Unable to furnish a reason, leaders agreed that intereet was lackiag ia the campaign locally until the last weeks, when both Governor Thomas E. Dewey and President Truman visited Chicago. Although voting in the eonnty as a whole remained Bepublieaa and the GOP trend was especially strong in McHenry township, the result of voting at the locsl high school, for educational benefit, proved less decisive. Caadidates for high offices received the following votes: Dewey, 165, Truman, 101; Green 158, Stevenson, 108; Brooks, 152, Douglas, 118. There are always n>any interesting sidelights at each election, and this year of 1948 was no exception in the county. The number oae position of president of our country was most popular, as expected, but even so 281 voters failed to express a preference.
