PAGE 24-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, JULY 22.1177 FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 21, 1927) Residents of McHenry and along the river and lakes are urged to attend a mass meeting at the McHenry high school auditorium Saturday, July 23, at 8 o'clock to discuss the matter of the construction of a* new dam in Fox river at a point on or near Nippersink Lake. M's This is a proposition of great importance to every owner of property in or adjacent to McHenry. Another meeting on the Fox river dam proposition was held at the city hall in McHenry Tuesday evening and according to the report of the committee working on the matter, the head of the state waterways department, Mulvahill, insists that the new dam will be bujilt and no money will be spent on the present dam below McHenry, at this time, even though the state legislature at its last session appropriated $10,000 f6r repairs on same. The dam up the river is un­ necessary because there is already one located but a few miles below the proposed one, which if the state would properly repair it, would provide all the water necessary for the whole region.

TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 27, 1967) Following an appraisal meeting held this week, a decision is expected soon on the future of Landmark school on Waukegan road. Even before the turn of the century, and until the "twenties" it served as both grade and high school. After erection of the present hign school, it housed only grade school pupils until very recent years, when a rapidly growing school enrollment made it possible to hold only fifth grade public school pupils. Dr. Peter Griesbach of the McHenry board of health reported this week that tests of the water at the city beach reveal no evidence of sewage pollution and no disease producing bacteria was found. The material seen floating on the surface, he added, is the familiar algae. Opening day of the McHenry County Fair is Thursday, Aug. 3, which is observed as 4-H day. Judging of beef, swine and sheep begins at 9 o'clock, as does the national baton twirling contest in front of the grand­ stand. Girl Scout judging will be held at 10:30.
