Illinois Will Receive Federal Highway Funds Illinois will receive an ad­ ditional $146 million in federal highway and transit funds for the coming federal fiscal year, Governor James R Thompson announced The U S House and Senate have sent the President a $51 billion, four-year extension of the highway and public transportation programs The legislation includes special provisions to increase funding for certain Illinois projects as well as other provisions Illinois was seeking to expand the kinds of highway repair work that would be eligible for federal funds "Under the new highway portion of the federal legislation, Illinois will receive $91 million more than we are currently receiving This is a significant increase in the return of federal highway dollars to the state," Thompson said "An additional $55 million will be received in operation assistance and capital grant money for public tran­ sportation "The major increases are in the funding for replacement and repair of bridges-which increased four-fold from the current $14 million in federal funds to $56 million for the coming fiscal year "In addition, Illinois qualified the U S 51 freeway Ringwood News 385-8037 653-9262 728-0343 Church-School Group Collects UNICEF Treats The church school children and other children in the area ^ . , , will be knocking at your doors^ 'Diane and Gary had several of to Appleton this past week-end to visit Diane and Gary Linstad and attend the baptism of David Gary Linstad during church services on Sunday.

Sunday afternoon, and the Peoria-Quincy leg of the Chicago-to-Kansas City freeway for special funding under the priority primary program This could mean as much as $50 million in ad­ ditional federal funds for those two roads," Thompson said Other areas included in the increased federal funding are: Nearly a $6 million increase in primary funds for widening and resurfacing type work of state highways. $3 8 million increase in safer off system funds for repair of local roads An estimated $15 million annually for the replacement of bridges at Quincy, Keokuk and the Central Illinois Ex­ pressway. $3 million increase in secondary funds, mainly for the repair of county roads Another significant feature of the legislation Illinois was seeking was a change in the matching ratios. "In many categories, it will take 5 percent less in state dollars to pay for an increased state highway repair and construction program This will allow scarce state dollars to provide more repairs and construction," Thompson said As an example, in the use of Federal funds for the repair or replacement of bridges, the matching ratio has been im- this coming Sunday to help other children in need. Do open your doors and your heart. They will meet at the Ringwood church at 2 p.m. to go and do their collecting for UNICEF; and when they return to the church, they then will go to Greenwood for their! usual UNICEF party given by the parish.
