The job appeared to be good •Sid was receiving praise from the Villi** of 3prlng Grove officials and residents. On August 21st. we inspected the Huntley seal coat job and nested a few Spaces where the material was not Mnoothly applied. The lumps did not break up and iron out due possibly to the rain which fell during the work and also to the cool spell of weather. We did not deeip same to be serious and the contractor agreed to put on some additional material at these places, and we decided to hold back $200 to guarantee the correction. We then went to inspect the application of an asphaltie lime stone seal coat on a solloem? nt road Arlington Heights. About S% times as much of the asphaltic material as was used on the Huntley Job was being applied. Tht> surface appeared excellent but the soil-cement base was soft and powdery and may not hold to the asphalt top. . We again met at Woodstock, Illinois, .

The Committee on Lands and Lots presented the following report, to-wit: September 9, 1941. State of Illinois, County of McHenry, sa. To the Chairman and Gentlamen Of tike Board of Supervisors: Your Committee on Lands and Lots to whom was referred the matter of the sale of the 40 acre tract of land on Lake Elizabeth in McHenry County to Justin Genis would beg leave to submit the following report on the matters and things before them: 1. ^hey met on September 8, A. D. 1341 and conssidered the report of the former Lands and Lots Committee together with the records of the Board pertaining to the sale of the 40 acres to Justin Genls. 2. They also consulted with Wm. M. Carroll, State's Attorney, relative to the legal status of the matter. Your Committee finds that the former Lands and Lots1 Committee reported to the Board that they had sold the 40 acres of land on Twin Lakes to Justin Genis for the sum of $500.00 which report in writing, signed by all of the Committee members, is on file with the Clerk of this Board. They also find that Justin Genls delivered to said Committee a Cashier's check in the sum of $500.00 which check is on (lie with the Clerlf of this Board. After due consideration of all of the facts, your Committee Is of the opln* Ion that the question as to whether the Board should convey the 40 acre tract of land to Justin Genis should be left to the decision of the whole Board of Supervisors. of which is respectfully H.

The Committee at that time consisted of F. B. Beck, Chas. H. Ackman and A'.va Hal#. This committee *tUf|ied the (natter including visits to Waakfegan and Elkhorn where demonstrations ware made for them. At the September meeting the committee repotted that is was not yet ready to make a recommendation owing to the wide variation of prices and the wide difference of opinion as to the- kind of equipment likely to be most satisfaetroj'. Oohtinued investigation was ordered and the committee visited Rockforfl. Biffin. Belvidere. Geneva Sycamore and Torkville. As a result of tl^eqa Visits, a convention was held at CHmfVa at which were present delegations ftOU) Boone, Winnebago, Kane, DetCalb, Kendall and Mo- Henry counties. Sihce this convention all of the counties there represented except McHenry have installed radio equipment. Since this time, eleven members of the Board, including the present chairman have served on various purchasing committees all of wh|ch have made more or less Investigation of this subject. Your present committee feels that, as a result, every member of the Board has definite information and a more or less definite opinion as to the desirability of the iervicjT Now as to cost; after exhaustive inquiry your oommlttee makes the following estimates:- The minimum possible equipment would be a central broadcasting station and equipment for the cars of the Sheriff and the Chief Deputy. CsjUmated cost for installation: •- ' *• •*" Central station 12,000. Two cars at $564-' 1,100. Turner, Chairman fit tbe tnlttee on Lands and Lots addressed the Board and stated that it was his opinion that the 40 acre tract of land referred to in the report of the Committee was sold and that there was very little the Board could do about it. The Clerk then read the report of the previous Lands and Lots Committee concerning said matter made November 12, 1940. After a general discuaslon on said matter, it was regularly moyed by Supr. Turner and duly seconded by Supr. Harrison that McHenry County, through its proper officers, convey any interest the County might have in the 40 acre tract of land on Lake Elizabeth in Richmond Township (being more or less) by quit claim deed to Justin Genis for the price of $500.00, It being expressly understood and agreed that the County of McHenry is to stand no costs or expenses pertaining to said transfer or that might occur hereafter and the roll being called Suprs.

These would ewlthout any question be substan- < . w"i be noticed that the cost of all three switch-board operators is charged to the radio. If it should be established that these men are needed as Jailers, and the cost charged to the Jail account, then the yearly cost of operating the central station is reduced to $1,500.00.

The Committee on Roads and Bridges presented the following report, which, on motion of Supr. Harrison and duly seconded by Supr, Filip and tbe roll being called, was . declared unanimously adopted, to-wlt: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Board of Supervisors, McHenry County, 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 on the 12th day of September 1941 with a committee representing Lake County, Illinois. They stated that they desired to add to the State Aid System of Roads, a road leading from Tower Lake In Lake County which Is north of Barrlngton, to Island Lake which is on the McHenry-Lake County line on StateB ond Iqsue Route 176 about two miles south-east of Burton's Bridge. The road is nearly all In Lake County except about a mile at the north end which is mostsly along the County line. It would require Joint action of the two county boards to make said road a State Aid Road, and although Lake County 1?\ not ready to take over the road at present and does not contemplate Its improvement for for several years they wanted to know whether McHenry County would cooperate with Joint action In the matter of making the road a State Aid Route, before they make any arrangements for securing the right of way. The matter of maintenance of the road was discussed and since most of the road is in Lake County they thought Lake County could arrange to do the maintenance work. We decided to recommend that McHenry County, co-operate with Lake County, Illinois, in the matter of said road by adding the portion In McHenry County to the State AidT System of Roads at a future date. We again met at Woodstock, Illinois on the 24th day- fo September, 1941, to receive bids for the materials for the Ridgefield road Improvement known as Section 26 M. F. T. We decided to award the contracts to the lowest bidders on the unit prices as follows: Right of way markers to Elgin Cast Stone Co., '$1.10 each; precast concrete blocks and bottoms of catchbasins to Material Service Corp. at $^6.00 per catchbasln; concrete sewer pipe 15 Inch diameter at $0.59 per ft. and cast iron grates at $11.00 each to Builders Material and Fuel Co. of Chicago, Illtnois: one reflectorized sign to Howard Meadows of Elgin, Illinois.
