BECK, The committee on roads and bridges presented the following report on the communication trom Stevenson county, concerning the building of good and per­ manent roads, which was read as per ex­ hibit "A" to-wit: "EXHIBIT A." At a convention of the Commissioners of Highways of Stevenson County, Illi­ nois, held on the Uth day of June, 1892, the followiug was unanimously passed: Resolved, that the senator and repre­ sentatives to the general assembly from this sentorial district be requested to use their best efforts to secure theapass- age of the law making permanent roads a county matter (and to authorize the issuing of county bonds for that pur­ pose,) and use all honorable means to get an appropriation from the state for respective counties, and that a commit­ tee of three be appointed by this conven­ tion to correspond with the proper au­ thorities of the different counties in the state, and urgt upon them the desirabil- !fn rvf inaftinnfintv -f hnil* f Jlf! 7PS icy UI mow uvviug IVJfiVOVUVWVMVU for the passage of such law. And be it further resolved, that in the sense of this convention, the Board of Supervisors of this county make a levy of twenty cents on the hundred dollars on all taxab'e property of this county, said levy to be appropriated for building of permanent roads under the direction of a committee of said Board and the commissioners of highways of the town in which the improvement is made. Respectfully, JACOB JAEGER, D. F. THOMPSON, ' H. POFFENBERGEB Committee. And on motion the report of the commit­ tee was adopted to-wit: STATE OF ILLINOIS,) >88 " * McHenry County, ) Board of Supervisors, Sept. term, Sept. 18, A. D. 1892. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Board of Supervisors:--Your committee on roads and bridges to whom was re­ ferred the accompanying resolution marked "exhibit A" would beg leave to submit the following reports on matters before them: In their opinion the building of perma­ nent roads is a matter of vital impor­ tance to our people. As to how such roads are to be built and paid for pre­ sents a field for mature and intelligent thought and action. Your committee are of the opinion that to make the state treasury contribute to such expense would lead to such an expenditure of state funds as would in the end prove disastrous to the best interests of the state. Thinking so, your committee would respectfully protest against any scheme looking toward state supervision of the highways. As to the necessity or advisability of a law authorizing counties to construct permanent roads, and bond the said counties to pay for the same, your com­ mittee are not satisfied as to what is the better proposition. Your committee would respectfully recommend that the senator and repre­ sentatives to be elected from this, Eight Senatorial District, be requested to give the matter their earnest attention, and to give the subject such support as in their judgment may be necessary, audi to the best in terests of the people.
