Sheets, chief highway engineer, Department of Public Works and Buildings. In the year 1924 the state completed 1,280 miles of hard roads, which has stood as a record of concrete construction in all states up to the present time. During 1928 this record will be exceeded, if the season will permit. It is expected the 1,600 mark will be passed. The figure for 1924 embraces both the roads constructed by the state and county highways built by state aid and under the approval of the state highway department. " Much Road Under Contract According to the announcement of Mr. Sheets, contracts have already beer, entered into for 414 mile* of paving, 83 miles of grading and 100 bridges, as a part of the program of 1928. On December 21 lettings for 63.9 miles of paving, 2.5 miles of grading, and 13 bridges arc scheduled by the highway department. * On January 2 bids will be opened on 225.9 miles of paving, 166 miles of grading and 87 bridges. " February 1 contractors will have an opportunity of sharing in the division of 29.2 miles of paving, 59.6 miles of grading and 21 bridges. For March 1 there is scheduled a letting of contracts for 200 miles of paving and 386.2 miles of grading. >: 450 Miles For Cook County ; ' In addition to thw schedule there Is to be constructed during 1928 roads totalling 450 miles in Cook county, together with 100 miles of grading and 50 bridges. The grand total under contract, or on which contracts will be awarded not later than March 1 will amount to 1.583.58 miles of concrete paving, 486.28 miles of grading and 221 bridges. It is estimated the state's share of the expense will be approximately $42,000,000. In voicing his prophecy on the road work in Illinois for the season of 1928 Mr. Sheets said the actual results to be accomplished will be influenced in the decision on the legality of the gasoline tax by the supreme court. Should an adverse decision be handed <Jown the work of construction will be materially reduced. Open an account for Christmas by joining our Christmas club. Fox River Valley State Bank. 29-fp.
