McHenry County Through The Years by Maa-ie Schaettgen Chapter 29 ceived grants carried U.S. mails Harvard (Continued) | at four-fifths the standard rates. It seems that Harvard became I n jS interesting to note t'iiat an important cog in the wheel the first government land grant of the North Western railroad. After the purchase of the Madison division by the North Western, they shipped here from Janesville a roundhouse containing stalls for six engines. In 1875 the second roundhouse to be built was destroyed by fire. Another was built in the same year. It was large enough to hold twentyfive engines. Repair shops were operated which used over $2,000 worth of material each month apd labor costs amounted to $3,500 per month not. including dispatchers, conductors and en- Local men in the employ, the railroad earned over $10,000 monthly. The freight receipts averaged $2,500 and tickets $1,200 per month. Freight rates in 1848 were $8.97 per ton-mile as contrasted with $1.43 in 1952. Passengermile rate was $3.51 as compared With $2.66 in 1952. The railroads obtained some of their land by grants from the government. It was desirable at that time to try to open up the wild lands of the west and the south. These lands could not develop until there was some means of transportation. ^During the years 1850-1871 the government made grants to the railroads in alternate sections in a checkerboard pattern. In this manner, it was hoped that settlers and railroads would be close toget'her. Of the present railroad mileage in this country only 8 per cent was by government land grant. These grants were not entirely free, however, since the railroads had to agree to- carry government troops and govrnment property at half rates. This agreement lasted until 1946. Until 1941 the railroads who reto a railroad occurred in Illinois in 1850. This state was granted 2,595,133 acres of land whioh the government had been unable to sell at $1.25 an acre. The facts on railroads given above are from a booklet by the Association of American Railroads, Washington, D.C. (An Editorial) Will the Memorial Hospital for friends and McHenry County be expanded to unborn. serve the urgent needs of 50,000 in this effort, although the people of the seryice area? | task is great, it seems essential Will we be able to tiake advan- that the county does not .. -ii. tage of federal and state grants The goal is attainable if we ail in aid totalling $375,000 for the do our part expansion of the hospital which' will be as well equipped as any hospital of its size? The answers to these questions so vital to* the individual welfare of every resident of this area depend upon the outcome of the' or Ge. Memorial hospital campaign, and in the -final analysis, upon the willingness of all to respond generously and sacrificially, to the limits of our economic ability, in meeting this appeal. The sum required to be raised is laige. A total of $275,000 is needed to add to $100,000 already on hand in order to provide for one-half of the cost of the hospital expansion. This county share of $375,000 must be on hand before federal and state grants are released. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the biggest campaign ever atternpiEc! in thir county. It is also the most important. No mors urgent appeal -to meet a dire and pressing need has ever beei\ presented. Our present hospital facilities are woefully inadequate. Even in normal times the corridors and hallways of the hospital are crowded with extra beds. Waiting lists for hospital admissions have been necessary. What would be done in the event of an .epidemic or catastrophe ? For some time now a large group of civic leaders from the area has been actively at work completing the organizational structure and preliminary ground work for this great appeal. The general campaign has been launched and you will, no doubt, the poultry Industry In relation to other leading farm enterprises in | Kansas was fourth in 1948.
