Supervisors, ty, Illinois: The undersigned members of the road and bridge committee for said County would beg leave to submit the following report on the matters before them. That we met at Woodstock, Illinois,., on the 12th day of August'1936, and* then went to McHenry and looked over •»- the East River road, south from McHenry to State Bond Issue Route 17C1'" and then went to Lake County and in-" spected some W. P. A. tar surfaced roads, together With Mr. Gurnee of the Lajfe and McHenry County W. P. A. Department. The roads were near Zlon City through a level country -and were well drained and In good shape. An appointment was made with Mr. Gurnee to come to Woodstock on August 17th to confer further \ on the blacktopplng of the East River ! road with W. P. A. funds. T We again met on the 17th day of August 1936 at Woodstock but Mr. Gurnee""" was unable to attend the meeting due to illness and we had a session with Mr. Arno Kolls of the W. P. A. Department in regard to various projects and it was-- stated that at present they are being - written only to Jan. 1, 1937, that usually the local authorities agree to pay one,""" third of the cost, part of which can-r be : rental on equipment furnished by the sponsor of the project. That only 10: men could be promised for the East . River Road Project and probably 10 additional men later. That the u. S. Government could pay about $160 per., man per year, for materials. We again met at McHenry, Illinois, on the 21st day of August, 1936 together with Mr. Gurnee and Mr. Kolls and : considered further the east River Road_ Project. One of the chief stumbling blocks was the matter of right of way. One of the statements to be sworn to ' Is that the right of way is clear, and If the answer is no the project is apt nqt o be approved at Washington, D. C. There are several bad curves and many places where the fences are only 40 ft. apart. We decided to consider {he matter further and look into the cost of the right of way. Your committee again mei bii the 26th1 day of August 193fi at Woodstock, nois and received bids for the blacktop- ,- ping of the Greenwood Road known as Section 7-1-T M. F. T. Four bids were; received and t.he lowest bid was that of •' the Andresen Corporation of Chicago,; Illinois, in the sum of $21234.28, and we*; decided to accept said bid and authoris- - ed the Chairman of this Board and the_ County Clerk to sign said contract and approve the bond on behalf of McHenry County, Illinois. We then went to Ridgefleld, Illinois and inspected the ' construction of the black top road known as section 4-1-T M. F. T. and aecided to allow estimate No. 1 in the - sum of $7121.48 on materials furnished and labor performed. This Job has been - badly delayed by the wet weather.

The money left over to be transferred to some other purpose. The matter of the proposed W. P. A.
