NEW ROAD OPENED PISTAKEE REPORTER WRITES STATE OlTICI A L ^ -i !T Mr. Frank 'i*. ^heets^r; Sup't. of Highways, Capitol Building^ Springfield, 111.U:'. Dear Sir: June It, 1924. At our last "Sf the Fox River & Lakes Improvement Association, the question of the opening of the new road from Volo to McHenry came up for discussion. As we understand it, this road was completed on June 7 and according to your lules, a concrete road must stand nbout four weeks before opened for traffic. This stretch of road would then not be in use until about the 5th of July, which falls on a Saturday. We have been forced for such a long time now, to use some very poor and exceptionally rough roads for detouring, during the construction of this stretch of road and people are very anxious to make use of this new road as soon as possible. I have, therefore, been requested by the Association to write you and ask if this road could not be opened for traffic on the 3rd of July, so that people coming out to McHenry and Pistakee Bay over the 4th, would have the privilege of using a good concrete road. I know I am voicing the sentiments of thousands of people when I ask this favor of you, and I do not believe that two or three days ought to make any particular difference, as this is the time, of year, when the weather is the very best for the curing of con« crete. Yours very respectfully, F&x River & Lakes Improvement Assn. By C. E. Carson.
