WAUKEGAN, ILLINOIS Township Waukegan the easements into two parts, giv-- ing those for Warren Township to Mr. George McCullough and those for Libertyville Township to Mr. C. M. Wilcox. I believe that the Town-- ship Highway Commissioner is the only Township --official who is em-- powered to purchase public highway rights--of--way or contract to pay dam-- ages cincidental to the construction of public highways and I therefore explained to both Mr. McCullough and Mr. Wilcox that the Highway Commissioners of their respective Townships were the proper officers to handle the securing of the rights-- .of way for Route 172. I also agsked that. they extend my offer of the mnog possible co--operation from my to their commissioners. [ Some time elapsed before any !rkh&-oz-wu was secured on this route, but in the fall of 1927 Mr. John Thomas, then Highway Com-- missioner of Warren Township, started negotiations with the abut-- ting property owners in that Town-- ship and asked that my office as-- sist him when possible. All but a few pieces in Warren Township were sectuired before the April 3rd election udune:htht tinowl(r.' Ed Cunningham, present War-- ren Township <Highway Commis sioner Ras carried on the work with the resulit that all the necessary 'yfl-ol-w in Warren Township has replied that no definite date had been specified but that he suppos-- ed it would be a week or ten days before it would be accomplished. I feel that the gravity of the situation makes it advisable for me to give you as much information as pos-- sible and I will therefore attempt to acquaint you with the present status of the right--of--way on each section involved, together with as much in the history of each case as seems pertinent. of Friday, April 13th, Mr. G. N. Lamb, District Engineer of District number one of the Division of High-- ways, called me from Elgin and in« formed me that he had just receiv-- ed word from Springfield that the bidders' checks on all of the State Bond Road work in Lake County were to be returned at once on ac count--of failure to furnish right--ot-- way. I asked Mr. Lamb when the checks were to be returned and he You, of course, know that the Division of Highways requires that the necessary right--of--way for State road construction be furnished with-- out cost to the Department. Nearly en which jeopardizes the award of all of the contracts involved. Such & situation is unquestionably of in-- terest to the people of Lake coun-- ty and of prime importance to you as their Board of Supervisors,. 1 therefore take this opportunity of all of you know also that in Lake county it has always been custom-- ary to require the Townships to fur-- Proposals for the paving of Route 174 --from Libertyville to Gurnee were --received by the Division of Highways in July, 1827, and soon afterward the right--of--way easements were sent to my office. I separated way must be secured before the con tracts for a section of work will be awarded. Unfortunately not all of the right--of--way has been secured for any one of the sections men-- tioned and a situation has now aris nish the right--of--way necessary: for State or County road construction projects I believe that this custom was established on the foundation that the Townships would receive sufficient benefits to offset the ex-- pense incurred and I know of no instance where there has been a de-- viation from the custom in Lake To the Honorable, The Board of Supervisors of Lake County, Illinois. Gentlemen : As most of you know, the Illinois Department of Public Works and Buildings, Division of Highways, has received bids on the following $100,-- 000,000.00 Bond<Issue Road work in Lake County; Route 59 grading from Volo to Ingleside, Route 172 paving from Libertyville to Gurnee; Route 176, Mundelein to Wauconda and Route 176, Waucondsa to Route 61 in McHenry county. The work contemplated in Lake county under these proposals amounts to approxi-- mately five miles of grading and six-- teen miles of paving at an approxi-- mate total cost of $550,000.00.+Cer-- tified checks of the three lowest bidders on each of these sections have been held by the Division of Highways, pending award of con-- tracts but the necessary right--of-- Temporary Chairman Meyer call-- ed for nomination for Chairman for the ensuing year. Supervisor Harbaugh placed in nomination Thomas V. Murphy for Chairman and moved that the Clerk cast the unanimous vote for Mr. Murphy. -- Motion carried. The Clerk cast the vote and Mr. Murphy took the chair and thank-- ed the members of the Board. > Supervisor Ficke moved that the Chair appoint a committee on Rules for the governing of the Board for the ensuing year. Motion carried. The Chairman appointed Super: visor Ficke, Brown and Hoban. R. M. Lobdell, superintendent of highways submitted the following Pursuant to the foregoing call the meeting was called to order by the County Clerk: Upon roll call the following mem-- bers were present:; Bupervisors Brown, Burke, Bletsch, Cory, Crapo, Dilger, Dronen, Funk, Ficke, Holdridge, Harbaugh, Homan, nmm Kelly, Kelsey, Monahan, M A Meyer, Naber, Obee, O'Connor, Stanton, Stratton, Short, Stadtfield, Thompson, Thomas, Udell, Vercoe, VanPatten, Wilcox, Worack, Wright--33.

The first order of business being the election of a temporary chair-- man, upon motion of Supervisor Thompson, Supervisor Meyer was unanimously elected as temporary chairman and took the chair. bers were present :; Wilcor that it he w Supervisors Brown, Burke, Libertyville easement Bletsch, Cory, Crapo, Dilger, I would see that tho: Dronen, Funk, Ficke, Holdridge, |to donate the right--of Harbaugh, Homan, wm, en an opportunity to « Kelly, Kelsey, Monahan, M , | cox delivered the eas Meyer, Naber, Obee, O'Connor, |office and we began Paul Udell, Deertield 7 KS that the Department has agreed to build a 20 foot span bridge over'a boat channel on his property. The Township officials of both towns have been handicapped by many an-- avoidable delays on this section and are deserving of credit for their patient efforts I believe that the Waldmann tract is the only serious obstacle and it is likely that con-- demnation proeocdlnn" will <be --re-- sorted to at once if it necessary. Proposals for the paving of Route 176 from Mundelein to Wauconda were received December 21, 1927, Ten days later I received the ease-- ments and at once turned them ov-- er to Mr. H. C. W. Meyer and Mr. Ray Paddock. ~The right--of--way is all secured in Fremont Township and the only remaining tracts in Wanconda Township are the Poyer tract and the Kimball tract. A con-- Hart. & Mead property -- south of Route 20, and a conference has been arranged with these gentlemen for Thursday of this week at which time I believe a settlement can be made. -- In Grant Township there still remains the Rushmore tract, the : O'Boyle estate tract and the Sheeman tract at the north end and the Weldmann tract at the south end. The Shechan tract is one of the ownerships which was incorrect-- ly shown on the original easement and, inasmuch as I just received the corrected easement from the De-- partment, there has been no oppor-- tunity to approach this owner,. I believe that no serious difficulty is anticipated in connection with any of the three tracts at the north end. Mr. Waldmann, however, feels that the two and one--halt acres required through his property is worth at least $20,000.00, in spite of the fact all were ready. We then called Mr. Kenny at Chicago on Monday morn-- ing of this week and explained the danger of losing the road unless im-- mediate action be taken. He said that he would 'not change his posi-- tion until he had talked with Mr. Ewing and --we therefore arranged for Mr. Ewing to talk with him. In the afternoon of that day we called Mr. Ewing and he informed us that Mr. Kenny had left for New York and had assured him before leaving that he would not sign the ease-- ment on an 80 foot right--of--way basig. It therefore seems that, un-- less a precedent of long 'Mi is overthrown and the matter is taken out of the hands of the Libertyville Township Highway Commissioner, Lake County will lose this Route for an indefinite time. Last fall the department accept-- ed proposals for the grading of Route 59 from Volo to Ingleside. About ten days after the acceptance of proposals I received the right--of-- way easements. I gave those for Wauconda Township to Ray Pad-- dock and those for Grant Township to Frank Stanton. They ,together with the Highway Commissioners, started'"the process of securing the necessary signatures. It finally' de-- veloped that the cost of right--of--way on the location selected in Yolo would be prohibitive for the Town of Wauconds and fortunately an al-- ternate location was found which was satisfactory to the Department. SBurveys were made on the new angnmog_t and new easements pre-- the preparation of new documents by the Department and added to the delay. At present the only unsecur-- ed right--of--way on this section in Eaueonda Township is through the pared. This of course, necessitated considerably and influenced the lo-- cation in both Wauconda and Grant Townships. We also discovered some errors in the easements for Grant Township which necessitated to return the bidders' checks, my office again got in touch with Casey, Meyer, Ewing and Cater. My repre-- sentative was informed by those gentlemen that they had entered in-- to an agreement with Mr. Kenny that none of them would sign until seemed to me a very worthwhile concession for the Department to make but it did not change the at-- titude of Casey, Meyer, Ewing, Ca-- ter and Kenny. 1 have not been able to discover how it impressed Mr. Hglter. . After I had been advised by Mr. Lamb of the Department's decision selected by the Department. 2.. The Department's requirement of an 80 foot width of right--of--way. 3. The fear that many beautiful trees would be destroyed. In order that they might be given an epportunity to be heard an au-- dience was arranged with Governor Bmail, C. R. Miller and Frank T. Sheets, At this conference, the gov-- ernor and the heads of the depart-- ment refused to consider a reduc-- tion in the width of the right--of--way or a change in alignment but agreed to do everything possible to save the trees. 1 have been told that it is generally understood in the neigh-- borhood of Libertyville, that these gentlemen are objecting because of the fact that the trees will be de-- stroyed. That impression is not based on fact as I have succeeded in hbaving the Department insert clauses in these easements to the effect that the trees in question would not be removed during the construction of the road and more-- over that the Department would pro-- tect them during their lifetime. This A. M. Casey, Libertyville; Harry Meyer, Libertyville; W. R. Ewing, Libertyville; H. J. Cater, Liberty-- ville; J. A. Kenny, Chicago; E. J. Curtis, Libertyvyille. Before going further I wish to state that the property of Mr. Cur-- tis is subjected to some damage in-- asmuch as my office cannot make financial agreements for a Township it is not surprising that Mr. Curtis has not signed his easement. Apparently the primary objections of the gentlemen above mentioned were : +*, 1. The location and alignment titled to know whether their neigh-- bors in Libertyville also wanted the road or not and I therefore told Mr. Wilcox that if he would bring the Libertyville easements to my office I would see that those who wished to donate the right--of--way were giv-- en an opportunity to do so. Mr. Wil-- cox delivered the easements to my office and we began to call upon the owners along the proposed Route.'It developed that all except the following owners gladly signed the easements: reported, however, that he was much too 'busy with threshing or silo till-- ing to give any time to the 'right ot--way ':..mr In March of"%h year, after threshing and tilling sessions had passed and Mr. Helfer still failed to attempt to secure the needed rightof--way, it finally occur-- red to me that perhaps Mr. Helfer would always be too busy to secure right--of--way for Route 47%. I felt that the people of Warren Townsahip who had evidenced a desire for the road by giving t--of titled to know '1"&&.1 --way were en-- Your County Superintendent of Highways would further report that Kapschull--Davis Compapy the con-- tractor as aforesaid, has completed said improvement in compliance with said contract. : «_ _Your County Superintendent of Highways hereby certifies that he has inspected -- said ~improvement, and that it has been fully complet-- ed according to the plans and speci-- fications furnished said contractor by your Honorable Body, and that he has accepted the same, and that there is now due and unpaid to said contractor the full sum of. no dollars It appearing to your County Su-- perintendent of Highways that the Honorable Board . of Supervisors have entered into a contract with Kapschull--Davis Company, of Deer-- field, Illinois, for the sum of $7619.75 to build said bridge. ® In obedience to an order of the County Board of said County, made and entered 6of record at a --meeting of said Board held on the 13th day of September A.

Final-- ly, I wish to assure you that I shall continue to do everything within my power to assist in securing the re-- maining rights--of--way and I sincere ly hope that it will not b:k'mm for Lake county to lose of these highways construction projects To the Honorable, the Board of SBupervisors of Lake County, IIlH-- . J am inclined to believe that, due to the short space of time that has elapsed since proposals on this sec-- tion were received, the Department may grant us a reasonable addition al amount of time to work on the right--of--way for this section, . ference will be held on Thursday of this week to attempt a settle-- ment with these owners without con-- demnation. If this attempt fails, the right.ot--way will be condemned at once and I have secured Mr. Lamb's promise that he will recommend the award of the contract upon institw tion of condeitmnation proceedings. Prospects of the early award of this contract are therefore very bright. Proposals for paving Route 176 from Wauconda to Burton's Bridge were received on February 29, 1928. The ruht-ot-'u{u easements were not received until fully two weeks later and it then developed that some parts of the location were sub-- ject to objections and with all offi-- clals in the midst of campaigns it is no wonder that thirty days has secure the required right--of--way.
