SEWER PROJECT CONTRACTOR HAS ADVANCED CASH JTOIOR COLLEGE FUNDS ^ ALSO DELAYED The construction and repairs on the sewage disposal plant in McHenry, known as Federal Public Works project, No, 8155, will^soon have to be discontinued unless the federal government 'fulfills their p£rt of the agreement and comes across with the $20,000 which they promised the city council, according to a report made at the meeting of the city council Monday evening. - _ At this meeting a representative of the Gjellefald Construction company stated that, although the cortjpany had funds, to meet present expenses, they mu,-t know whether or not the federa. administration would fulfill their part of the contract before expenses mounted too high. Already between $3,000 and $4,000 have been used for labf r and material at the sewage plant' with about $600 per week nepded for later, alone. The city council has lived up to its part/of the contract in every way, the bonds for the $20,000 are ready and waiting to be delivered as soon as the money is paid to the National bank at Woodstock. Federal instructions have been carried out in every respect and just why the PWA has failed to cooperate after all plans have been made and work started cannot be explained. Mayor Doherty intended to go to Chica,go*today to investigate the matter and see what could be the cause of the delay. Work Retarded The work at the sewage plant has also been retarded by the high water in the river caused by the refusal of the government to take out the flashboards at the dam. Because of this the water backs up into the outlet, making work difficult.* Junior College Now WPA The deluge of the government to carry out their part of a contract as expected is found again in McHenry in the Junior College at the local high school. This is a WPA project, with the salaries of two teachers to be paid by the WPA. Up to the present time the salaries of these teachers have been paid by the Illinois Emergency Relief administration, but as this now becomes purely a direct relief plan the financing of the two teachers for the Junior CoKege becomes a federal WPA project Other projects commenced coming through in October and it was expected that the McHenry project would be taktn care of by the fisrt of November, but nothing has been heard as yet, with the exception of information that, the project has been put on the preferred list and sent to Washington. It is expected to come through shortly. ~ - COUNTY CLERK w ;£v MRS.
