MOSHER, Editor and Manager LIGHT THE NEW BRIDQE „--N We are wondering what the thousands of motorists who travel along Route No. 20 are saying after tliey cross the beautiful new $100,000 bridge that spans the Fox River at McHenry when they observe that this 400-foot structure is absolutely without lights. The State of Illinois has seen fit to build this bridge without any cost to the city of McHenry, the township of McHenry or the county of McHenry. The state has also gone a little beyond its custbm by preparing the bridge for lighting, putting in the conduits, etc., with the understanding that it would jbe wired and lighted. The bridge has been in use now for Several months and nothing has been done to illuminate it,\it least as far as we have been able to ascertain. There are fourteen posts sticking UR^ into the air from the bridge railing which makes it look as if the job had not been ' completed. All that this mammoth structure* needs is fourteen ornamental lights. The state has well finished its portion of the work. Now, the question arises, who is going to provide the illumination? The city limits of McHenry end at the west side of the river. Therefore, the claim is made that the city cannot pay for the lighting of the bridge, or at least more than one-half of it. Anyway, the treasury of the city at the present time is in no condition to take on any additional expense. The question arises, "Can the township or the county legally assume the expense of wiring and paying for the lighting of a state bridge?" And if so, would the officials of either assume the job? We believe that if there is no' legal way for the city, township or county to provide lights for the big b^dge, there are plenty of pulbic-spirited citizens in the city of McHenry, who would willingly volunteer to bear a proportionate share of the expense, rather than to have it pointed to as a neglected monument. At any rate, let's get bu^y and see if ecme way can be suggested to take care of this urgent need. It jseems a shame that any community should be blessed with such a wonderful bridge, atfross one 6f Illinois' most beautiful streams, where hundreds of thousands of motorists ^travel every year, and thin to ha*$ $k look like' It never was finished. As it is now, when daricness settled down over the city the state bridge is a thing of which this community has no right to point to with any fcride. O T\e Plaint^aler will welcome any suggestions from its readers regarding some plan or action to be taken to wire the bridge and place fourteen 'ornamental lights thereon, with the : necessary current tft kee^ them illuminated.
