Street Dance Planed for Saturday
Llons> CKieken Bar » B -r Qne
By ROGER A. FEBLEY
The Huntley Lions Club held their Annual Chicken Bar^B-Q on Sunday, August 13, 1961 this year. Most of the Lions and Lionesses worked throughout the day upon the Bar-B-Q event.
The community attendance was not as great this year as of past years. There seemed tA be several reasons for this: 1) August is a vacation month to some persons, and thereby some people were not able to attend, but if the Lion Bar-B-Q was held in June of this year, only the seed of the sweet- corn could have been offered In¬ stead of the ear of sweetcorn; 2) the cost of the dinner was $.25 higher, but as some peoide put it 'the dinner was free, the money was a donation for the commvmity activities carried on by the Hunt¬ ley Lions Club.'
As usual. Lion members from out-of-town dubs attended the Huntley Lions Ba-B-Q; many persons were interested in the method of the preparation of the chidcen (which was exteremely fine tasting).
In order to have the tender. Juicy sweet com as a part of the dinner, Lions and Lionesses, that were not busy in some other func- tions of getting ready for the Bar^-Q, got together at 730 A.M., Sunday morning, and pick¬ ed and husked around 600 ears pf sweetcorn.
The Oakwood HiU's Lion's Club from Cary, Illinois attended the barbecue here In Huntley, and they ai-e going to have a barbecue on the 20th. They are going to borrow some of Huntley's equip¬ ment-for the event.
Village Board Notes
The Huntley Village Board held two meetings so far this month, one Thursday, August 3 and one Tuesday, August 8.
Mr. Heinz from Evergreen Manor was present and asked that two street Ughts. be placed in the subdivision, and that the subdivi¬ sion be accepted into the vUlage. The Board could not take action as the roads in Evergreen Manor are not bIacktoiq;)ed and are not *{ acceptable due to a legal technic- aUty.
Mr. Henry CowUn, legal attor¬ ney for Huntley, is drawing up a legal paper to incorporate SeUer's and Ben Hansford's to the vUlage.
A tax levy ordinance was pass¬ ed.
The delinquent water bills were discussed, and it was decided that a letter would b^ send to each person who has an unpaid water bUl stating that their water wUl be shut off if the bUl is not paid in the required amount of time.
The vUlage is now working on the municipal service occupation¬ al tax ordinance.
The sewer problem was discus¬ sed.
