' The Chicago Motor dab proposes Hut the state, during the years of 1S82 and 1933, widen these arteries leading to the north, south and west from Route 22, naming the following: t ^ <Nos. 21, 61 and 23 to tike Wisconsin ^||te line. "Jo. 5 to Preeport. 6 to Sterling. 18 to Mendotfc. 7 to Peoria aiid 4 to Springfield. 25 to Champaign. - 1 to Danville. ' v <'4L. J. Schuler, assistant director of -ipety for the Motor club, was the principal speaker at the meeting. After outlining the plan of the proposal he gave the reasons for the Necessity of wider highways, both in the metropolitan area of Chicago and the outlying districts. . Mr. Schuler stated that there are thousands and thousands of motorists ill the city who are not getting any use of their cars, especially over the "week-ends, due to the terrible congestion of the highways and the fear they have in venturing out on the Toads under the present conditions. With wider roads Mr. Schuler said a very large percentage of the accidents we now have can be eliminated. During the years of 1930 and 1931 ifluray of the main lines will be widened to a width of forty feet, but the limit of this work to be done in these years ends at Route 22, or a distance -out of Chicago of approximately thirty-five miles. Now the club proposes to carry this improvement out through the state as given above. Proposal Covers 870 Miles The proposal covers about 870 mfleS of extensions to the wider measure. "The irtoney to carry on this work would be taken from a surplus now in the state treasury and the gasoline tax. This money cannot be used until appropriated by the state legislature. Tins surplus money is due to the fact that there will be about 200,0000 more ews licensed in the state this year than anticipated and also more federal aid than was expected. This wideniqg program would not interfere in any way with the building of new highways, the speaker stated. Mr. Schuler, who is a safety engineer, stressed the fact that wider roads mean safer driving. He quoted statistics regarding the number of accidents from automobiles which were simply astounding to his listeners. For instance, he made a comparison between the number of Americans killed and injured in the World war during two years and the somber of persons killed and injured by autos for the two years of 1928 and 1929. During the war there were 60,510 fatalities and 195,556 injured, while during the two years mentioned the deaths caused by automobiles in -the JJnited States amounted to 59,000 aad injuries were approximately 3065,000. , -Thus, from a safety standpoint it «tn be readily seen that, whatever the cost, if the highways are made •tore safe by widening and thousands of lives saved, the money is well •pent. Following Mr. Schiller's talk several of the local men were called upon lor an expression of opinion, with the aentiment being unanimous for the • plan proposed by the club. Simon Stoffel acted as chairman of the meeting. William Carroll, candidate for the state legislature, of Woodstock, was an out-of-town visitor and speaker. At the close of the dinner, petitions ••ere signed to be presented to the aenator and representatives of this district, asking their support of the proposal when the matter comes up In Springfield. A pretty Juhe wedding of much interest to many McHenry people took place Saturday afternoon, June 21, when Miss Arline Harrison, daughter of Mrs. Alice May, and wor. thy matron of McHenry chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, became the bride of Mr. J.

WOULD ABANDON ROUTES •Woodstock Line Is Among Those Which May Be Discontinued In a petition to the Illinois Commerce commission, the Metropolitan Motor Coach company asks the consent and approval of the commission to their abandonment of certain motor coach routes, including the Waukegan to Woodstock and Waukegan to Gurnee and Lake Villa bus lines. The routes are operated under certificates of convenience and necessity and granted by the commerce commission to the Metropolitan Motor coach company. Among the reasons pointed out in the petition are: duplication of service Toutes in some territories and some practically unused and unpatronized service which they wish to discontinue. These new conditions since the inauguaration of the bus lines are due to changes in transportation methods and to the increaiw of routes. The coach company states that the elimination of the routes will "not seriously inconvenience the public because of the introduction of other motor coach routes which have almost entirely supplanted tfce -old routes..
