THE TOWNSHIP ROAD CONTRACT "Dear Editor: "On the front page of the Aug. 20 issue of the McHenry Plaindealer there appeared a picture of a township road district crew constructing storm sewers, etc. on Mill road in Ringwood. Some of us taxpayers watched this contract project job step by step through the base construction. I would like to say, some degree of truth should be brought out in a front page picture, when concerning taxpayers' money. The picture shows employees of the Lakeland Construction company and not a township crew as stated. The Lakeland Construction company, who had many different pieces of construction equipment, laborers and a foreman on this project, did an excellent job of curbing, storm sewer and gravel base construction. What some of us taxpayers would like to know, who is the general contractor? Who is the sub-contractor? Will we have the general contractor that we had in the past on road district contracts? "I give much credit to the Lakeland Construction and the McHenry Ready Mix who furnished all the concrete, the McHenry Sand & Gravel who furnished and hauled all the gravel on this road project and doing the job in record time. As the road district commissioner, Chuck Miller, stated "Mill Road will provide safer driving In the future." "Clarence Regner "McHenry, 111. (Editor's Note) A general contract was awarded on June 16, 1964, to II. J. Curran Contractors Co. (formerly Suburban Oil Co.) in the amount of $31,847.38 for the Barnard Mill road work. Other bids submitted were Skokie Valley Asphalt Valley Asphalt Co., $36,219.67, and Peter Baker & Sons Asphalt Co., $35,763.57. There was no sub-contractor in this case, but Curran Contractors secured men and equipment from Lakeland Construction on a rental basis for portions of the work for which the general contractor was not equipped. Mr. Miller stated that the general contractor on future work will be the low bidder, whoever it happens to be, provided the company is qualified. Reference to the group of men pictured as members of the township crew could only be considered incorrect on a technicality. The regular crew varies, usually from 2 to 4 depending on seasonal demands, and our mention of these men employed on a contract basis was in connection with work undertaken by the township. The heading on last week's article, referring to safer driving, was that of the Plaindealer, not Mr. Miller. Jan. 30, 1890. She taught in the public grade schools of Chicago for thirty-five years before retiring and moving to Burton's Bridge. She is survived by her husband, Harry Dixon, to whom she was married in 1942. It would take 14 hours for a sound to carry from New York to New Zealand, if one of sufficient force could be generated to travel that far.
