Seriously however J""! feel that Mrs. Sarley failed tojgrasp the full ^meaning of my feeling against the * 'granting of any more liquor licensc-s, but I am happy to :iote ~ , that she, too, is for limitation. Behind my "lament" as she put it, I have in mind the bettering of I, Conditions in the Lily Lake area " and In proof thereof, feel that the management of Lily Lake inter- I ests should be in the hands of 1 those who have been here long- ' «r, who reside there and who are therefore better equipped tha:i I to direct civic movements. However, I do take exception to Mrs. fiarley's remarks that I was uncooperative in these matters. I was, and so far as I know, still am a member of the Lily Lake As- ... sociation For Beautlfication. I j did join, but owing to my work, •iave not been active in the Lily Lake Business Men's Association formed in the fall of 1949. I did fermit the use of my premises. Iree of charge, for meetings of the Beautifying Association; I did offer the association the free use of ftiv big dining room for dances iponsored by this association, even vfhough they failed to avail themielves of my offer. I did pour load ,»fter load of gravel into the pub- ' |ic street to the west of my property, into bottomless holes that C ; Jhad existed long before Mrs. Sarley or I ever heard of Lily Lake. I did conduct and sponsor a half ~r~(iour radio broadcast over fetation * WIH for a period of fifteen ' months, six nights a week from 10 tv m. announcer did say, "this program comes to you from the Lake Shore Club, on Highway 120, At Lily I>ake, three miles east of the city of McHeiiry, 111."; I did redecorate and try to maintain an exterior that should have been in keeping with other businesses on the highway--yes. and I did encourage mv friends and patrons to sing songs now and then, which, if they disturbed anyone's slerp, was by "ao means our intent or purpose. , At a rodln), sponsored by Lily Lake's Association, back »in 19H? or 1947, I did sit in the rain at a, Hammond 'organ rented from a friend of mine at half his usual price). and played the musical back-ground for two shows a day for three days. I did K<*t wet. and I did donate my humble efforts to the backers of this ..rain-drenched project. * ",v % Perhaps Mrs./ S«irley has, abserved my efforts to give something to the Lily l^ake" community from the- cojnifortable side-lines of her fi;oiit porch; since I do iiOt know the lady* in question I am in no position to say whether she ever graced mv club With her presence That, however, has no bearing on the fact that lots of people want to have fun and feel that with the long sleep ahead of them, throughout eternity, the loss of a little sleep here :md there in the interests of good dean fun is well worth the price. No. we art? not asking for license to operate unbridled and with no restrictions, but we are asking for protection from unbridled competition throughout McHenry county, and for the chance of realizing a fair profit from a comparatively large investment. Owhig to the peculiar conditions of business in all highway spots as compared to spots within the corporate limits of cities and towns, the public has formed the habit of going out to the country, AFTER having payed their respects to the town clubs and taverns. I would be more than happy to close my doors at 1 or 2 a.m. if Mrs. Sarley or anyone else will point out what I ca'n do to encourage people to drop in anytime after 12 noon. Then, you see, at 1 a.m. I'd gladly balance the cash and, having made my fair profit on my investment of time and dollars. I'd go happily to my couch, at peace with the world--and Mrs. Sarley. DAN DANIELS One of the important matters to be decided at the April 11 primary election is the $2,000,000 county road bond issue. This, of course, is not a partisan or a political issue. It is difficult in this part who are in favor of this bond issue program. The reason, undoubtedly, is that McHenry and Nunda townships already have township road bond issues, the proceeds of which have been used to improve the roads on which the taxpayers are now paying increased taxes. It is interesting to know that in Nunda township, at least, the cost per mile was less than >10,000, while in the proposed county bond issue the estimate is $29,000 per mile. It so happens that on the same day the voters of Bootie county will vote on a $585,000 bond issue for improved roads, the cost of which is estimated at less than $14,500 per mile. Both bond issue programs have been 'approved by C. M. Hathaway, chief engineer of the state highway department at Springfield. This indicates that the Boone county program meets the approval of Mr. Hathaway even though the estimated cost per mile is only half that of McHenry county. I am informed that Boone county intends to retire their bonds entirely with the proceeds of their county share of the gas tax. In McHenry county it will be necessary to levy a property tax to retire a considerable portion of the McHenry county bond issue if it carries. It is unfortunate that the roads in the McHenry county program cannot be built at somewhere near the estimate for the Boone county roads. In that case it would not be necessary to increase the already, high property tax. It appears to be doubtful that the McHenry - county bond issue will carry, but if it does the taxpayers who vote for it should be the last to complain of high taxes ia the years that lie ahead. THOS. A. BOLGER, Representative, 8th Senatorial District. M.B.C. News In spite of the -chicken poxers and mumpsera and just plain mudders' who couldn't be with us Sunday we had a fine attendance at Bible church. Our blessed Lord has wonderfully led us this past week and some hearts are being won for him. By the time you read this we will have laid to rest our friend John Edwards, who passed away last Monday in Victory Memorial hospital in Waukegan. He was residing" with his daughter Mrs. Steinickle of Johnsburg and their family. What a wonderful thing it is to know as Christians that absent from the body is present with the I-iord. I wonder dear reader if you know for certain where you are going when you die. You can you know. Prayer meetings at the church contliuie to be a time of refreshing spiritually. We invite you to come every Wednesday at 8. This Friday at 8 p.m. we shall be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sutree3, Lilyitioor, Tor a cottage prayer meeting. As we pray" so Cod will work.
