The' Metropolitan Casualty Insurance Company had sent word that they were discontinuing Work-nans' Compensation Insurance and Wouia cancel the County's policy April 15th, 1934. Several agents were asked to submit bids' for said insurance but same does not seem to be desirable business, as only one company, The Hartford Accident and Indemnity Company submitted a bid and they only on condition that the Public liability and also the automobile or truck policies be also turned over to» them and that we also recommend that said insurance be kept in said company for a term of years. We believe the above Insurance is necessary and recommend that the above policies be cancelled and- that Workman's Compensation policy be awarded to- Richard C. Burton of Richir -nd, Illinois and the Public Liability and the .Automobllt policies, be awarded to Harry B. Nienstedt of Woodstoc!., Illinois, agents for the Hartford Accident & Indemnity ' Company of Hartford, Connecticut, and that said company be given first consideration for next year's business. The relief work program was discussed. The Fox Farm Road, west ot Woodstock and the Chappel Hill Road of. McHenry are projects approved for said program. We think the county has not available, at the present time, sufficient trucks-t»r--money to go into program on a large scale. However, if we were to furnish picks, shovels and wheel barrows, considerable desirabie work could be accomplished at small expense to th' County and a large number ol men could be employed. We have allowed the County Superintendent o_f. Highways to initiate said read, using two of the County's trucks, road, using two of the County's ttrucks. The County has to furnish the trucks :>.nd drivers go get the workmen and return them and "keep their time. We feel that this is a problem for the next Road and 'Uridge Committee to work out and should receive the consideration of the w"io'e Bodrd as the County Road and Bridge Tax has beeti decreased more than one third in the last two years and we have had to cut down the time of the regular rond employees to below the so-called living' waje. For asked, by phone, that the County take over the maintenance of the two (2) mile gravel State road on the Marengo road from the west end of the cement road to Hake's Corners. That they was made an issue in ttte recent campaign. That even sin<* April 10th ] r/d! "Woods" Co.

The machinc is working within one mile of the road at present. Your Committee again met on the 10th day of April 1934 on theim^tter ol a proposed one-half (^4) mile of new State Aid Road, north of Spring Grove, Illinois, which was referred to this , Committee. We went to Spring Grove J We further stated at that tune thai tinand inspected the road and found that ' allowed to the Hepurtei in the Proa large amount of grading would be bate Court and the per diems came in necessary at the north end. but if a,'11 irregular amounts and that as a matbarrow pit could be secured close to J convenience and so that the Hethe north end of the road, the cost of porter might be paid a regular Stipend the road could be reduced.

He further stated that he thought the Couiity Committee could rent suitable rooms for about $30.0<t per months....Jfcupr. Harrison addressed the Board and stated that he felt that L. i the work being carried out by the McHenry County. Relief Committee was much needed and although the present arrangement was a little Inconvenient he would be in favor of allowing the Committee to occupy the rooms for the present and that ln so far as the several Supervisors of the Townships were concerned, it was very handy for them to be able to come, to the Couri. House to transact their Relief matters that come up before the McHenry County Relief Committee. Sheriff Lester Edinger also addressed the Board on said subject and stated that the ^present arrangement interfered with the Granci Jury for the reason that there was no other available room for them to us<- outstide of the Supervisors' room, amthat the room occupied 'on the first floor by the Re-emplovment office would have to be vacated soon to make roon tor the Board of Review, and that other facilities were not < adequate to take care* of so many employees in on«? buihiing. It was thereui>on regularly moved by Supr. Harrison and duly seconded by Supr. Ackman that an appropriation Of $13.00 for racks in the tool shed #nd an appropriation of .$30.00 for stamps be made to the McHenry County Emergency Relief Com mit tee--and that the County Clerk be directed to issue an order on the Com>ty-Tte*surer for-.the s a m e , a n d t h a t t h e C o m m i t t e e s t a y I n * their present location for the time being.
