The cnstruction of Sheridan road, and especially the "S" curve in it in 1918, came After a right--of--way had been carefully mapped out with each section being made as safe as pos-- sible, according to Charles--E. Russeli, | county surveyor. who takes excep-- tions to a charge made recently by Supervisor Bert Thompson, chairman of the board of supervisors, that Kus-- Bell was.to blame for the dangerous .."8" curve. * . Aside from all this the roadway would have had to leave the existing hard surface and cross a swampy wa-- ter course upon .whlcl':'lmmqlhu ton-- crete construction coul not have been safely undertaken. It must also be re-- membered, this road was built--dur-- ing war times with many attendant difficulties, and when haste was being urged as a military necessity; in fact we secured state appropriation of fed-- eral aid money on the plea of Camp Logan and the other posts in the Both prior to and subsequent to the Iimprovement of Sheridan road, 4ittie attempt : was made toward improve-- ment of alignmept as evidenced by the alizgnment of parts of Grand ave-- nue and Green Bay road, and many are familiar with the opposition 1 met when the proposition to change the roadways thru Gurnee, and the Rockland road going into Liberty-- ville, was first made. -- ; In your issue of the 4th inst. ap peared an article in reference to the "3" curve in Sheridan road north of Waukegan, in which | am mentiongd as being "to blame" for its existence, although at the time of its construe Traffic conditions then and now, ac-- cording to Russell, are fundamentally different. At the time, he stated, he went out of his way to make the bend safer. s P His communication is as follows: Editom of the Daily Sun, Waukegan, III. : Dear Sir: county. Of course during more recent years such a curve would not be thought of for a minute and with present laws \~*In polite court Justice Tallett tried them merely on the charge of assault and battery against Dr. Musa. -- The fines of $100--and costs each were the limit <the justice --was permitted to assess, and as nelther of the men were able to raise the amount of the tine, they were returned to jail and will be removed to 'the county jail to 'board out their fines behind the bars. *_Dr; Musa, in preferring charges} tion 1. was given considerable credit for having materially ~improved the existing alignment which was a dou-- ble reverse curve. At that time there was no precedent for deviating from existing roadways or desire by o[ffi-- clals to précipitate controversies by such action; however, with the per-- mission of the Road and Bridge com-- mittee and their co--operation -- with-- out expense or obligation on the part of the county--and through the gen-- erosity of the Lyon's and Durkin's es tates, right of way was secured free of cost for the improvement made. Further improvement would probably have meant <litigeation, and at that time the county bad no--right of emi nent dbmain, nor had the State High-- way department, who approved the plans--as part of the Federal Aid sys-- tem, adapted rules on alignment. and* a~ favorably developed | public opinion, this curve can easily be im:-- proved without delay to traffic. ~ 'I might suggest that the temporary Installation of danger lights, such as are in--general use between here and Chicago, espécially on the much worse curves in Glencoe and Winnet-- ka, would very much relieve danger to traffic at the expense of a few dol-- lars, and protection fences would be a still further help. * HOSPITAL WORKERS FRED FOR ASSADLT ,{l U é?--"l: ow i Yours very truly, HEERRED IN "S" .
