Stratton recently made public full details of his banner 1955 state primary highway construction program, which calls for building 436 miles of highways, including 215 miles of new pavements and resurfacing 194 miles of existing roads. New pavements will consist of 108 mUes of two-lane, sixty miles of additional two lanes and fortyseven miles of new four-lane roads. Calling for expenditure Of $123,628,100, the road and' bridge building schedule shatters all previous state records by many millions of dollars/ Last year, the 1954 program was set at 84 millions. The chief executive released a 76-page printed leport containing a statewide list of every project, its type, location and estimated cost. He said copies also will/ go to all members of the General Assembly when it convenes on Jan. 5. Governor Stratton explained that in a construction program of this magnitude allowance must be made for numerous factors affecting the various jobs which make absolute certainty in the time of execution an impossibility. The task of acquiring rightof- way, completing surveys and plans and' possible shortage of materials may necessitate deferring .some of the programmed projects, he said. The overall outlay for 1955 includes $32,370,000 in federal aid' but does not include an additional $3,000,000 of state matching funds for federal aid secondary work on major county roads, nor does it include the $74,000,000 which cities, counties and townships will receive through next year from state motor fuel tax efunds for road building under state supervision. Of the total amount to be expended, $120,728,100 has been allocated for regular and special projects in the ten highway engineering districts of the state, and $2,900,000 for emergency and disaster demands and interim resurfacing of existing roads. The latter item refers to highways which 'Will be rebuilt but require rehabilitation before major reconstruction operations can be started. The special work, totaling $6,114,100 is divided as follows: $3,596,000 for Isolated promts, such as bridges, gtade separations and railroad crossing protection; $1,693,100 for miscellaneous work; $500,000 for a test road, to be built near Ottawa and $325,000 for Senate Bill 275 projects which comprise access roads to state parks and other state institutions. Other major units in the Stratton road building program for 1955 are: Conversion of eighty-three more miles of U.S. Route 66 into a modern four-lane expressway from Chenoa to near Joliet on the north and from Mt. Olive to itear Collins ville on the south. This means that motorists can drive a continuous expressway for 229 miles betweeii the two points. By 1956, the route will be a four-lane highway throughout its extent from Chicago to St. Louis. Construction of seventy new bridges, widening twenty-three existing ones and building fiftytwo new g:ade sepai ations. Acquisition of rights-of-Way, costing $13,200,000 on 1,115 miles of highways which include projects in the 1955 program as well as clearing the way for an equally heavy construction schedule in 1956. ! This program is exclusive of the $390,000,000 Illinois toll road j network scheduled for & con-! istruction start next summer. | FAMOUS ETCHER DIED ENROUTE TO MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Reinnoia ti. ^alenske, internationally famous dry point etcher who had been a resident of the Bull Valley community for a number of years, died of a heart attack on Dec. 29.
