Route 172 paving has been nearly completed, but will not be available to trafic from Route 20 to Route 21 until the two bridges on that portion of the section have been completed. Three easements remain unse-- eured on the section of Route 173 of these seems to present a most The easements for Route 68 were delivered to my office about three weeks ago and thyus far about ninety per cent of the frontaze has been secured. The unsecured tracts are represented by small ownerships along the southern end of the sec-- tion and it is possible that difficulty may be encountered in some in stances. I hope, however, to be able to secure all easbéments without resorting to condemnation. Our corus! ing and> w long as wei need for th fiable. comt sho w cien pat'c The right--of--way for the grading section were secured from Volo to Willey's Corners some time ago and the contract was awarded for that portion of the section. On December first the Rudert tract was secured and the only ownership now remain-- ing unsecured is that of Martha Sheehan. It appears that condemna-- tion will be necessary to secure that easement and we have already taken the necessary preliminary steps in-- cidental to the condemnation. I be-- lieve that these entrances now pre-- sent an improved appearance and I also think in their present con-- dition they will be less dangerous than formerly. It will undoubtedly be adviaable to give the widened portions of the drives, at least, a surface treatment of some sort next year in order to obviate the neces: sity of continual maintenance. eost The patrol Stat was ting Division of Migh@wys for the portion of Route 17 \\hi:{? falls in this coun-- ty is entirely within the corporate limits of Highland Park and it was found that the location was so de-- eidedly &t variance with the plans of the Hizhland Park City Plan Com-- mission as to make the right--of--way quite impossible of acquisition. _ I have therefore worked out a change in location which appears to appeal to the city officials of Highland Park and the Division of Highways has agreed to accept the change if the right--of--way is made available.
