MAIN 392-4750 FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 26 1928) The work on Route 61 is now progressing nicely after some delay occasioned by the rain and wet weather which made it impossible to pour cement until the road bed dried out again. The cement slab at Terra Cotta has been completed and the big mixer and other apparatus was moved back to Knox's hill, just south of McHenry, where the pouring of concrete will be commenced. The work will continue north to McHenry where Rdute 61 will be com­ pleted as far as Terra Cotta. The high water in the lake region and Fox river is gradually subsiding after the extreme high water caused by the big rains of a few weeks ago. It has been many years since the water has been so high in the lake region as it was this year and in some cases it reached a point of about 32 to 36 inches above normal. The water raised 30 inches in ten days and as a result many of the piers were buried far beneath the water, which had crept up into places along the shore where ordinarily there are large lawns. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of August 4, 1938) The board of supervisors will meet Aug. 9 at the courthouse for the purpose of issuing bridge bonds and transacting such other business to come be­ fore the meeting. For the past few days the Road and Bridge committee of the board has been studying the bridge situation in the county, which is quite a problem at the present time. Several weeks ago flood waters washed away or partly destroyed a dozen bridges in the county. Estimated damage is said to be near the $100,000 mark. How to finance the repairing and rebuilding of these bridges has been giving members of the Road and Bridge committee and all of the members of the board a tremendous headache Rev. Fr. Paul Tucklinsky was recently appointed by Bishop Hoban to act in the capacity of assistant pastor to Msgr C.S. Nix at St Mary's church, to fill the vacancy left by Rev Fr Frank Miller's transfer to Aurora. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of July 30, 1953) • After weeks and months of planning by President Floyd Covalt of the Chamber of Commerce a;fg his various committees, all is in readiness for the Marine day celebration which starts July 31 and con­ tinues through Aug. 3. The annual event is sponsored by the Chamber Passengers on the morning commuter trains to Chicago were late for work on Wed nesday after a freight derailment near Mount Prospect blocked the line for a considerable time Bus service was provided to DesPlaines from where shuttle service took the occupants of the trains to their destination. With Harold Schmitt pitching great ball, the Johnsburg Tigers went into the eighth inning at Algonquin last Sunday holding a 2 to 1 lead Then the roof fell in The Ironers put across seven runs in the eighth and that was the ball game Final score was 8 to 4 TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of August 2, 1968) Quarterly state sales tax collections in the municipalities of McHenry county were an­ nounced this past week These included totals for various types of business and city applied sales taxes.
