Hnntley Fire Station #2 Completed
The trustees and firemen of the Huntley Fire Protection District are proud to announce that Huntley Fire Station #2 is completed and in operation. With the addition of Station #2, the fire district will be able to provide the residents of the district on both sides of the Chicago-Northwestern Railroad tracks with immediate fire and ambulance service.
In any call, fire or rescue, time is the important factor and even though the trains are going thra Huntiey at a faster speed than before, a delay of three to four minutes could mean the difference in saving a life or keeping a fire under control.
At present, in Station #2, there is a paramedic unit ambulance, an engine and the 85 foot snorkel. Tbere are sufficient firemen, EMT's and paramedics on both sides of the tracks to man either station when a caU is dispatched. An open house wiU be held in the near future for the public to visit the new station located at the comet of Dean St. and Rt. 47.
Sincerely,
The Huntley Fire Protection District

The headlines exaggerate the number of bank faUures and only after thorough¬ ly reading the artide does die reader discover that the total failures are approximately half of what the headline read.
He said that the Board of Directors, as a matter of policy, feel that the people dealing wiUi the State Bank of Huntley have a right to know that they are a good, solid bank. Therefrae, the bank will start pubUahiag perti¬ nent information aa not^n»i% items develop.
Miller state the State Bank of Huntley's net income for the first nine months of operation amounted to $319,061.24 and total resources at the end of that period was $29,063.73. The net eamhigs figure represents a 7% increase over the flrst nine months of 1984.
He also announced that Hunt¬ ley Bancshares, Inc., the hold¬ ing company wfaidi owns the bank, purchased Robert In¬ surance Agency the flrst of October and is operating it as a totally owned subsidia^. Mr. Robert Craven is continuing as the managing agent.
Mr. Miller said that he will be happy to answer customer ques¬ tions regarding the operation of the bank.
