STATE TO HD S60.000.000 OF ROADS IN 1928 WORLD RECORD WILL BE ESTABLISHED it was in the hardest condition he ever ^saw it. Csavel is needed oa this stria ef read. • Daring 1928 Illinois will llave the greatest highway construction program in the history of the state and will again establish a new and higher world's record for mileage of roads constructed by any state or country in one year, it is announced by Col. C. R. Miller, director, Department of Public Works and Buildings. According to details already completed, Illinois should complete during the year 1928 approximately 1|200 miles of paving, 400 miles of heavy grading, and 175 large bridge projects on the state highway system. f> In addition the counties of the state, using their county highway taxes and their share of the state's gasoline tax, will probably complete under state supervision 460 miles of paving, 100 miles of heavy grading, and 50 large bridge projects. The total estimated cost of permanent road work to be done in Illinois during the year is $60,000,000. 479 Miles of Paving Started Contracts have already been let or bids have been received and contracts are in process of being awarded by the State Division of Highways for 479 miles of paving, 91 miles of heavy grading and 113 large bridge projects. In addition detail surveys and plans will be completed and bids received in the next few weeks for approximately 655 miles of paving, 296 miles of heavy grading and 58 large bridge projects. This will enable the state to have under contract at the end of the first three months of 1928 a total of 1,134 miles of paving, 387 miles of heavy grading, and 171 large bridge projects which are estimated to cost $42,000,000 Additional survey and plans are being authorized, and these will be completed in ample time to permit the letting of contracts during the spring months to insure the completion of this program. All Of State to Benelt Work will be carried on in all parts of the state and will connect to the paved roads already completed a large number of cities and villages which are not now afforded adequate highway facilities. It also will complete many important connections with the state highway system, and relieve materially the traffic congestion now confronting the metropolitan district surrounding Chicago. Gov. Small in discussing the road situation said: "We have already completed more' miles of high type paved roads in Illinois than any other state, 82 per cent of which has been finished during the last seven years. All of this work has been paid for by proceeds of state highway bonds, motor license fees and federal aid funds, and not one cent of direct taxes has ever been used for the construction or the retirement of principal and interest on state highways bonds. The motorists of Illinois have received wonderful service for the amount they have paid in motor license fees. Would Connect All Towns "We contemplate the largest construction program in our state's history during 1928, and should the gasoline tax be sustained by the supreme court, we will be able to continue this record breaking rate of highway construction, and bring about the completion of our entire 9,800-mile system of state roads within the next few years. However, I will not consider our state road program completed until we have connected every incorporated city and village in the state with the state highway system. "I will continue to push as rapidly as possible our state road work and will see to it that every section of the state gets fair and impartial consideration in determining our yearly construction program." The state was able to complete during 1927 a total of 651 miles of paving of which 521 miles are on the state bond issue road system. Illinois now has 6,375 miles of paving completed, of which 5,034 are on the state highway system. Of this total 82 per cent has been constructed during the seven yean of Governor Small's supervision.

He is now on return trip and expects to reach home the first part of March. Mrs. Dalziel is back to her home here, after spending several weeks with a daughter at Beavertown, Wis. Farmers that have wood are very busy getting this summer's supply sawed or cut ready to saw. Henry Hobart had a few piles sawed Monday. Roy Hobart dragged the threequarter mile of road south from Ostend corner the third time last Monday within three weeks. Warren Francisco was o*er to the farm again last Monday. The man that owns the farm known as the Ben Brown farm near the Durkee farm sent a large truck load of lumber out from Chicago when the road was wet and soft and when he left the cement near the J*. W. Freund home he could hardly move after passing the Freund House. He was compelled to remove a part of the lumber, then he tore the road up badly to the Hoppe farm where he unloaded the remainder and went back to Chicago. It took three-horse teams to draw the lumber the remainder of the distance and they made three trips apiece. Mrs. Dalziel's daughter's husband and two children aged 8 and 4 are now managing the Dalziel farm. We understand their name is Redding. The pupils from this section attending school at McHenry have been driving on the south road around by the Clemens farm on account of the bad condition of the rnnd unnth from Ostend corner.
