Woods, County lias called my attention to the fact that some question was brought before the Board' yesterday concerning the roads in the island Subdivision. T recall that when the plat of this subdivision was anproved, It was evident that all of the streets had been designated as being "private roadwavs." This means of course that the County of McHenry cannot have any Interest In the maintenance of these roadways. As far as the Town of Nunda is concerned thev are private roadways and will remain such until such time as thev miaht. be dedicated as hlsrhwavs and nccented by the people of tbt> Town of Nunda. T thought perhaps It might be of help to you to have this letter in exnlanation of the situation which exists with referenda to these roadways.
