OirOMTE TAX NCOME GIVES ; CITY PROBLEM' Auditor North Meete With City Council, To 8eek Station COUNTY MOURNS DEATH WEDNESDAY 07 CHARLES LEONARD The City Council of McHenry met Monday night in regular Bession, hut with the special thought of giving careful study to the financial structure of the city. Auditor J. W. North, who has taken special interest and pride in the financial status of the city, was present to lend his experience in guiding the council through the rough spots that have arisen. A vast reduction in corporate taxes received this year causes the present concern. The city's portion of corporate taxes received from the County Treasurer's office in the year 1948 was approximately one third less than the amount received the previous year. Combine this with the fact that cost of operations in all departments has mounted and you can readily see that a serious problem faces the city. Under the Butler Act, with the 100 per cent valuation, the city's portion of taxes grew steadily in the three years previous to 1948. A revision of the act, with its rather complicated method of figuring, has resulted in a drastic reduction in the amount received by this and other municipalities. Cities' Portion Small A review by Auditor North reveals that McHenry's assessed valuation is lower than many other citieB. Further study shows that a heavy increase in assessed valuations would only result in higher taxes without bringing about the desired results for the city. Increase would be spread to the various taxing bodies, but since the corporate tax rate is limited the city would receive only a small portion of increase. It must be remembered that the corporate tax is only approximately 10 per cent of your total tax. Counties, townships, school districts and various bond issues all enter into the picture. While all this study is going on, the local city council can find some solace in the fact that all municipalities in the county are faced with the same problems and many were not in as favorable financial condition as McHenry to stand the jolt. However, the problem simmers down to each municipality working gut its own salvation. What to do? Obviously, every care has to be taken in holding expenditures as low as possible. This has been done throughout the year, but further curtailments are necessary. In the steady march of progress in the past few years McHenry has tried to keep pace with the times. A police car has been added. The police department has larged. A truck has Charles "Duffy" Leonard, 69, one of the best known auctioneers in this section, died at 3:30 o'clock Wednesday morning, Feb. S3, at his home in Woodstock. He had been in failing health for the past year. Mr. Leonard was born on July; 5, 1879, in Hartland, and had resided in the Hartland and Woodstock area all his .life. He had been an auctioneer in McHenry; county for the past forty-five years and was one of the best known of county residents. , Survivors include his widow, the former Marie Conway of Woodstock; a daughter, Mrs. Margaret Stamets, of Woodstock and a grandson, Thomas Stamets. The body is resting at the hone at 219 N. Tryon street until Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, when last rites will be conducted from St Mary's church, Woodstock. Burial will be in Calvary cemetery.

"Added help has been necessary. Cost of equipment, repairs and usual operations has been on the up-grade for the city the same as it has been for individuals in every busineaa or walk of life. Now the question is "Do the people of McHenry want to go back to the days when these various services and improvements coul£ not be afforded?" It is reasonable to assume that McHenry people want to follow the trend of progress. It would seem to follow that while operating costs are cut whereever possible, me^A of securing added revenue must be found. Legislation Possible Auditor North reported that it Is possible that the State Legislature may Increase the limit on corporate tax rates throughout the entire state. Should that action come about, the municipalities would not have to take separate action. However, since there is nothing definite on what may occur in the State Legislature, it seems to behoove the cities to take separate action as soon as possible. Under the present set-up, the city levied an adequate tax, but actually received a figure far below that amount and below the amount necessary to meet necessary operating expenses. It is to" be remembered that an increase in assessed valuation is ntft recommended. This would effect a large overall increase in your tax payments. The recommendation is to increase the corporate rate, bringing the entire increase directly to the city. It has been estimated that this change would result in approximately 5 per cent increase in your taxes. For instance, if you are now paying $80 tax on a dwelling your increase would amount to about $4. To bring about the change in order to secure additional revenue during the year 1950, it would be necessary for the voters to approve the change at an election. It is obvious that McHenry and other municipalities must take some action to correct the present tax situation. It is a problem to which the city council will give much study. Further reports will be made. No doubt the question will be submitted to the voters before the time arrives to pass the next tax levy ordinance. to bh suffering from a fractured skul|, compound fracture of one leg, s broken wrist and other injuries.

The suit is the outgrowth of a complaint signed by the defendant in the justice court of Albert Krause, charging Bruson with trespassing. Mr. Bruson states in his complaint that on Feb. 22. 1947, the defendant falsely and maliciously and without reasonable or probable cause whatsoever charged that he did criminally trespass on the property of the defendant.

Mr. Vycital will remain an indefinite period of time, visiting in the home of his daughter, Mrs. Claude Harris, in Miami, while Mr. and Mrs. Hnpp* wOI return At the last regular meeting of the McHenry Businessmen's Association, it was suggested and passed that the local shopping public, along with the civic-minded community, be given a chance to express their views on how to improve McHenry beyond the modern, up-to-date little city it now is. In the near future there will appear in various stores in McHenry sealed suggestion boxes. McHenry merchants would appreciate it if all persons who have workable ideas, improvements, suggestions, considerations or alterations that would be t>f benefit to either the merchants, patrons or the city itself drop all ideas in the boxes. They are not interested in the sender as much as they are the thoughts expressed; however, ther« will be "thank you" gifts given with no accompanying publicity for those, who sign their names and whose suggestions are rated as having most merit It Is hoped that in this way there will be many improvements, brought to light which in the past hsvs been merely day dreams and as such were never acted upon. The businessmen wish to make it clesr thst these boxes will be sealed and oaly the committee in charge Will break the seal, insuring the patrons of stores their ideas will be kept In the strictest confldeiMIS. Any suggestions that are not the conoern of the merchants directly will be turned over to civic organisations whom it may concern, so dont miss this chance to voice your opinions on the improvements needed in McHenry. The bnsinessmen are aware thst our i city is now one of the choicest spots in which to live, but they are equally aware that with frequent transitions, always to something new, It is necessary to keep pace lest we slip behind amid keen competition. , Mrs. Catherine I.

GARDEN SHOW WINNER RECENTLY TOPPED PRIZE LOCAL OANINEl The Peter Fischers returned to their home in the Country Club subdivision the last of thq week, a happy pair even though their prise dog failed to win the Westminster Kennel Club dog show. The dog. Champion Clinaude's Scoop, entered in competition with twentyfour other champion boxers was one of the last four chosen to receive final judging before Champion Maselaines Zasarac Brandy, owned by Mr. and Mrs. John Wagner of Milwaukee, was chosen best of the Boxer champions and later went on to. be declared best dog la^ the show. The Boxer class was the largest entered. The showing made by their own dog was especially gratifying to the Fischers since Scoop had bested the Milwaukee Boxer In a recent competition held in Florida. Winning top honors at the Madison Square Garden show (largest of all shows) gives the top dog every reason for conceit, for It makes him No. 1 canine in the nation. The fact that our McHenry entry rates so very close makes not only the Fischers but their friends extremely proud. , Scoop's son, Clinaude's Don Jose,] owned by Mrs. Francesco of Bluff | Lake, 111., placed first in the puppy Last Rites In City For Andrew tMrn • Funeral services^Were held mm Saturday morning at St Patricks church, McHenry, tor ABIHW Kearns. who died in Chlnago «a Thursday.
