Their periormance proved satisfactory and as represented, and we decided to accept same on behalf of McHenry County, Illinois, and recommend payment for same during the month of May, 1939. We then met at the Court House to receive bids for materials required for the Spring Grove, Illinois, road improvement, known as Section 13, M. F. T. The lowest bids 1 eceived,, for materials delivered on the Job, were at the following unit prices: Tibbitts, Cameron Lumber Company, cement $2.70 per barrel, less 10c per sack for cloth sacks returned Consumers Company, gravel and sand at $1.07 per ton; 10 in.

It was decided to award the materials to the above listed low biddsrs, and that payment be made for the same delivery to the Job.

We further recommend that the right of ways tor roads built out of the notor fuel lax funds be secured by the regular right of way Committee and chat emergency matters that may develop in the administration ot said road improvements be handled by the Road And Bridge Committee. We further recommend that the policy adopted by this Hoard at the special October 1931 meeting, namely of the Koad and Bridge Committee, ordering orders drawn seini-iuontniy for ruau work and materials under contract entered in»o by this Board, to the extent of 90 per cent of amounts due, be continued, and that said policy be further extended to include the work beng done in this County rrom the motor fuel tax funds, by day labor construction. We further recommend that the County Treasurer keep the Koau and Bridge funds in a separate account and credit of said account with its proportionate share of ouck taxes when &anie are received and distributed, and road fines and receipts for machinery rental and road materials. We again met on the 11th day of April 1939 and inspected the work completed and materials furnished on the County- Bond issue Bridges 0:1 State Aid Roads as the contractors had asked for estimates. We decided to allow a partial estimate of $4000 on the Wart Bridge and $4500 on the Alden Bridge, ind instructed the County Clerk to make said payments. That we met at the site of the Alden Bridge on the 22nd day of April 1939, and found said bridge and the new channel finally completed substantially 111 accordance with the plans, specifications, contract and agreement and decided to accept said bridge and channel on behalf of McHenry County, Illinois, the itemised cost as follows: 113.7 cubic yards Class X Concrete at $25.90 per cu. yd $2944.83 1022 lineal ft. piles, furnished and driven at $U.b0 per ft. .... 817.60 3.8 cubic yards hand rail COD' crete at $50.00 per cu. yd. _..... 190.00 12800 lbs. reinforcement t at $0.46 per lb 665.80 f. test pila 126.60 1 nam* plate mi'ii "h 11 •» * lfr.Ott amounts ordered paid to the contractors on the Alden, Worf and Bridges.

The matter of a proposed new additional State Aid Route in the vicinity of McOulloms Lake and Wonder Lake was discussed. Owing to the illness of H. C. Richman of the State Divison of Highways, who is in charge of the alignment for State Aid Roads, we have been unable to ascertain what right-ofw; y would b*3 necessary in the matter of several right angle turns, and we therefore decided to make no recommendation on the matter. The matter of Insurance on the Conn Amount due contractor $1,110.59 The filling of the approaches was not included in the bridge construction contract and same Is being done by the County by day labor. We therefore recommend that the County Clerk draw an order on the County Treasurer, payable out of the County Bridge Bond Funds in the sum of $1110.59 as a final payment to the contractor, Herman Mass of Algonquin, Illinois, in the matter of said Alden Bridge. We then went to the Lillibridge Bridge, just south of Harvard, Illinois and found that the old structure materials were removed and the back-filling had been completed and the bridge was now completed substantially in accordance with the plans, specifications and contract with Herman Mass of Algonquin, Illinois, and we decided to accept said bridge on behalf of McHenry County, Illinois. The matter of a railing on said bridge was further discussed. The bridge has a 30 foot roadway width and no railing was provided in the above contract, but due to the location of the bridge practically In the City of Harvard, and very close to State Highway No. 173, we deemed a railing was necessary. We decided to accept a bid of K. T. Barton « plumber at Harvard, to furnish and install a 2V4 inch galvanized pipe double railing at both ends of said bridge for $77.00. The cost of said Lillibridge Bridge in accordance with the unit price bid by the contractor, is itemised as fellows: 89.6 cu. yds.
