Hi a meeting was held at "the court house in Woodstock to hear |K>ssible objectiops to the building of the new road and arguments in its favor.

R., and connects the Algonquin and Cary roads near the Geer school house, the road lying just back of the school house. Although this road is only about 750 feet long it will cut off quite a' con­ siderable distance of travel between the two towns, as it crosses ov^r from the Algonquin road to the Cary road, cutting off tF triangular-shape# piece of land between the two roads, around which it is n#w necessary to travel. The road was surveyed Tuesday, and work on it will soon begin.

He is now employed as meat cutter in his father's Chicago market, but with the beginning of May he will operate a shop of his own on the South side. The couple left McHenry on the afternoon train on the day of the wed ding and are now in Chicago.
