All of the above roads except Route 60 are advertised for lettine May 12th, 1931. Your Committee lias, met with mi^ch discouragement due to ejections to, the location of the roads as at present surveyed. Considerale work wars done on Route 60 by the Committee, but objections to the location were so strong that Mr. Frank T. Sheets, State Highway Engineer has prnmieted to give same further consideration, so the work of securing the right of way is at a stand still. - Your Committee has gone over Route 47 and finds much dissatisfaction with the location survey. The people at Huntley want a change at the south end. The Mayor-of Woodstock informs us that the city officials are dissatisfied with the location through Woodstock. Several farms are cut badly and the owners are objecting to the purvey location. The survey calls for all but three quarters of a mile of new location, about one half mile away from the existing roads. \ ' Your Committee has not yet-l received right of way papers for Route 67, hut •bjeetions are strong as to the. location Rules--J.
