Pictured above is a workman ot Commonwealth Edison Co. in a "snorkel" connecting new wires to the fire siren tower. The wiring is being changed at this time in pre¬ paration for the erection of a new fire siren on the tower.
Tho now siren will have two tones
one for fires — and the other
for   tornado  and disaster warning.
The new siren should   be installed
.shortly.
In addition to the old siren on the tower there is an antique fire ijell which according to Roy Miller, a lifetime resident of Huntley, has l)ecn on the tower for over 75 years. .Mr. Miller stated that the bell was used to .summon the volunteer firj? department and bucket brigade in the olden days. He stated that in case of fire tho bucket brigade would u.se a cistern at tho west end nf the village park to dip and fill their buckets.
Mr. Miller recalled that one ttme a machine u-sod to clean milk cans which was located near the depot oaught fire and that the fire was extinguished by opening the steam valve on a locomotive which at the time was pulling a freight train.
According to Mayor Wilpaidt Brill tho bell will be removed from the tower and will become a relic oJ the fire department along with the old antique hose cart and pumpm:.   .
Fair Ground Site Approved By Supervisors
The Fairgrounds leaped into first place at the McHenry County Board of Supervisors meeting when the supervisors voted to place the proposed new McHenry County Courthouse in this "dark horse" location at their regular meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 9, after a two day session in which the Mayor of Woodstock, Mrs. Francis Kuhn and the Woodstock city council and the Woodstock Citi¬ zens Committee gave an impres¬ sive presentation of their favorite location, the courthouse annex site, even to the extent of offering to supply $400,000 in parking facili¬ ties by the purchase of some of the nearby properties and making a multipul story parking building with parking units at a ground level and in a high rise area to be supplied. They also showed plans for a 4 story high rise building with the possibilty of adding 2 more stories at a later date. This was done with the aid of slides charts and a large 24 inch square brochure showing all of the plans and a drawing of the proposed courthouse for this 8 acre annex site.
This was done at a luncheon which was attended by about 100 people including supervisors, press. Building Committee of Mc¬ Henry County, mayors, Wood¬ stock Citizen's Committee and some county officials. On Monday Jan 8, the day before the regular .supervisors  meeting.
This annex site has always been the leading and only site that the city officials of Wodstock have been willing to approve. Some members of the County Board have always favored sites on the west side of Woodstock separated by two cem¬ eteries from the square. The Fair grounds has never been one of the more prominent sites considered because of the $250,000 cost of removing and replacing the build¬ ings on the fair grounds if the Board decided to build there. Moves for Fair Grounds Site It was therefore to the great surprise of many of the press and some of the supervisors when Rob¬ ert Robinson, Algonquin Township Supervisor moved that the Fair Grounds be approved. Robinson had previously offered 20 acres in Crystal Lake Free in behalf of the Ladd Enterprises. The Fair grounds location was approved with 14 voting for the site and 13 against it at the regular Supervis¬ ors meeting Jan. 9 The next item of business was when Assist. Su¬ pervisor William Reickert, Algon¬ quin Township, moved to disolvc the Building Commission. In tho discussion it was pointed out that the Board of Supervisors were elected to represent the people and why should an appointed board plan the court house. This was de¬ feated by a vote of 13 to 14 with Walter Dean, Chairman of the Board being forced to cast the last vote in favor of keeping the building   commission.
The next step will be to again take this Fairgrounds site back to the city of Woodstock city coun¬ cil for a three-quarter vote of ap¬ proval  for this  site.
Grafton    Township    Supervisor Howard   Ruth  voted  against  dis¬ solving  the   Building  Commission and   in favor of the Fair Grounds site.
