The Chairman called upon the two political parties as represented by the membership of the Board for Suggestions of electors to act as Judges and Clerks of Election In the various precincts and districts in McHenry Co"nty for the ensuing year. After selections were made, it ^as regularly moved by Supr. Clawson and duly seconded by Supr. Harrison that said matter be referred to the Committee on Elections for report. Motion declared unanimous ly carried. The Committee on Roads and Bridges made the following report, which, on motion of Supr. Ackman and duly seconded bv Supr. Harrison and the roll being called was declared unanimously adopted, to-wit: Mr. Chairman and Gentleman of th® Board of supervisors, MeHfcnry. Qountv, Illinois: The undersigned members of the road and bridge committee for said County would beg leave to Submit the following ;renort oh the matters before them. That we met on May 12, 1938 and inspected the Anderson Bridge recently built in the Town of Marengo and known as section 16R MFT. and found some satisfactorily completed and decided to accept same in so far as the County is concerned. Due to the actual weight of the steel exceedlnc that shown on the plans as an estimnte, and due to longer piles being driven deeper below the foundations tban it was estimated they could be, calls for an extra due the contractor of ?650.00. We therefore decided to recommend thft a supplemental resolution be passed to provide for said expense from the MFT funds. We then inspected roads In the vicinity of Harvard and Lawrence. We also met on the 13th, 14th and 23rd days Of May and continued tjrie inspection of the State Aid Systern of roads In the County preliminary to planning the Season's work. Word was received that the Works Prop-ress administration desired to interview the road and bridge committee, and we met at the Court House .an the 2fith day of May, 1938 with Mr. A mo Kolls and a representative of • ^PA from Rockford, Illinois. They stated that they desired to work out n work project for the roads of the County as a whole. We told them that separate and distinct tax funds were. Involved, ind ki order to protect the County a System would have to be worked out to keep the funds separate, and that the County could be responsible only so far as the money was spent on State Aid System of roads, for which the County Highway Tax Is exclusively levied. They said that they thought this could be done (by making the Townships co-sponsors and having the officers of each sign for specific work In his Town out of the Township Highway funds, and makinir these papers part of the agreement. We informed them that we would recommend co-operation by the County In a project so worked out. On June 2nd 1938, we went to Alden. .Illinois and examined the Kolls and Nolan gravel nits and decided to set the small crusher plant in the Nolan pit. We then h»ld a Joint meeting with the road and bridg-e committee of Boone County. Illinois, for the purpose of inspecting th« bridges alone tlve County line be- •ween this County and Boone County The north bridge about 60 rods south of SBI Rt. 173 needed only a load of gravel on Uie approach and some additional fHling on a channel change. The next bridge near the Peterson Farm was found to need attention as soon as possible. The .January flood had washed out the bed of the stream under the bridge to a depth of 8 ft. at the middle of the stream and to the depth of the bottom of the mud sill at the north en.1 and the bridge had settled about 2 inches. It was decided to drive piles as close as possible to the north wall and hack them with plank and fill behind them with large boulders or with bags filled with gravel mixed with cement. At the Tanner bridsre new planking was needed for the winsrs also additional filling at the approaches and protection with stones Two other bridges, one on the Marengo and ofre on the Riley Town lines need a small amount of repair work consisting of 2 planks and soirie stone rip-rap. It was decided to recommend that the two chairmen of the road and bridge committees and the two County Superintendents of highways arrarige with contractors of worken to make the r»nairs and that the bills be oaid in proportion to the assessed valuation of the two counties as provided by law. On the 3rd day of June we met at the Armory at Woodstock with representative of the WPA and the Township Highway Commissioners of the County. A proposed county wide road project was discussed and most of the Township Highway Commissioners stated they would co-operate with the Works Progress Administration. We apain .met at Woodstock. Illinois on the 10th day of June. 1938 and audited and ordered paid bills chargeable to the McHenry Countv Patrol -Svsytem pf Roads as a whole for repairs and stiopVies for County owned machinery, insurance afid labor at the county tool house to a total- of $1,689.57 Bills chargeable to the various sections county patrol system of roads for labor and materials at nates* heretofore^ approved by this Board were audited *...824'0.76 152.62 647.03 57.50 187.91 101.25 111.33 94.93 422.13 183.86 Section 3 Sections 4, M, Sections 4, 1?

Tn special cases where a greater expenditure Is necessary that same be equalised by putting in less time on the succeeding months as may be ordered by the cornmiltee. The matter of a so-Called county wide WPA project was discussed and it was decided to recommend that this county participate to the exent of $5000.00 or its equivalent including costs, out of the County Highway Tax funds, which taken a? ft local contribution of 20 per cent will allow for a $25,000 program on the County Aid System of roads, and we recommend that the Chairman of this Board be authorized to sign said project as sponsor and the Coiyity Su perintendent of Highways be also authorized to sign said project as sponsors aeent ; said signing to he done after examination of the project as written 4vith the advice and consent of the County Road and Bridge Committee and the State's Attorney of this County On our road trip we found the roads of the county to be in reasonably good condition, and the new road maintenance machinery is provihg satlsfactody. We found no breaks in the asphalt roads other than on the one built by the state as an experimental road near lohnsburg. W* decided to recommend that! the Ridgelleld and the Greenwood and the Harvard %sphalt road sections •-eceive a light seal coat this summer by dav labor work.
