A man passing on a surf board div The McHenry county board of sttpervisors on Tuesday, by unanimoiis vote, set the date for a special election in the county to determine whether to float a bond issufc of $130,000 to finance a bridge rebuilding program caused by the flood waters last month. The date chosen for the' election is Tuesday, Sept. 6. ^ The resolution calling for the special election was passed following the committee report, which estimated the damage done to bridges in the county at $126,500. The added $3,500 was included to pay for the cost of the election. The committee report'was made following an extensive study of the damage done by its members, together with C. L. Tryon, superintendent of county highways and state engineers. The estimated cost may be slightly higher than the actual cost after the work is completed. ' . ' Seek PWA Grant It Was necessary for the board to pass a resolution calling for a special election and to estimate the damage done to the bridges before any steps could be taken to apply for a federal grant. If the bond issue is approved by the voters on Sept. 6, then the county will immediately ask for a PWA grant from Washington in the amount of 45 per cent of the cost, or $58,500. This would leave $71,500 in bonds to be sold by the county. It was set up in the resolution that at np time can there be an additional tax of more than 6 cents on the $100. Assessed valuation can be spread to fvnance this bond issue.
