({•tended for last week's publication) After being closed for more three motoths the McHenry-Volo road, under contract for cementifig and a portioa el which has already been completed, is again being traveled. Altho In anything but first-claas condition, those having occasion to travel over into Lake county and Waukegan appear to favor this route to preference to the one used of late. Those who have traveled the road during the past few days are of the opinion that a little grading at this time will place the stretch in fairly good shape for winter travel or until the breakup next spring. Hie completed stretch of road reaches a point just east of Lily lake and when once upon this cement at thiapoint one is now able to drive all the way to Waukegan without leaving : the hard roads. The Belvidere road, r we are told, will be opened to travel this week, thus doing away with the detour thru Guraee. Over on the west road, betuM Sherman's hill and Woodstock, the new cement road has been opened and la now being traveled as far as the hogsback road and within a very short time the entire stetch will be open to the end of the cement, which new stretch-- as far as Clark's corners. Cement construction on the McHenry- Volo stretch was discontinued several weeks ago, the advent of the first snow storm of the season putting an end to the work there. However, had the contractor held his gang of men another week conditions would have been such as to continue the laying of cement for at least another month and in that length of time another mile of road could easily have been laid. The grading gang has been kept on the job, however, ever since they first started work here early this fall and some of the men aye still employed in shouldering up the completed stretch "and doing such other work as may be accomplished at this time of the year. " AU that McHenry people can new wish for is an early spring so that activities may be resumed at the earliest possible moment next year. It is the hope of our people as well as the thousands of tourists who travel this stretch annually that the entire job between here and Volo may be completed and open to travel by July 1 of n^xt year. (jteganftng' the connecting link between the two stretches as same will pass thru the city of McHenry, nothing new has developed and son)e of our boosters are beginning to feel that the state highway department wifl withhold its decision on this location of this section until next spring. However, we have bean promised ttyit this stretch will come ' up for letting this winter and therefore we still have hopes of seeing oar dream realised soon. In the meantime it will be a case of watchful waits'l'ik:- Holiday goods at Petesch's. The famous Allen A Black Oat hosiery at Erickson's store.
