That we met on the 11th day of October, 1$4$, at Woodstock, Illinois and dedded to approve the application for n permit to construct and operate a 4160 Volt electric distribution line tn Section I, Town of Dunham, and also in Section 6 and T, Town of Seneca. S. A. Rt. 6 for the Illinois Northern utilities Company 0< DlXon, Illinois. We authorised the County Supt of Highways for sasid " tjp, to sign said permit on behalf of y County, Illinois. we met on the 32nd day of October, 1141, at Woodidock, Illinois, to dldpuss the matter of purchase of necessary road machinery for the County. For many years past road machinery has been almost impossible to get and Ittttth of our equtpmwt is badly worn end' needs replacement. We were informed that if machinery was needed for Spring delivery tt ahoulrt be ordered De decided to in- - of cost and per- #WefTnodels of tmtoVs, scrapers, motor graders and sheeps foot roller. We have made three- trips to see the caterpillar, Allis- Chafmers, LeToumenu and Gar Wood machines perform. All are good • chinss and we have not made up our minds as to which would be best for McHenry County conditions, but we have In mind the purchase of a motor grader, a large tractor and scraper outfit, and a sheep foot roller. There are sufficient funds available from the rental of machinery to make these purchasss and we reocminend that this Committee be authorlcei^ to act for the County in the purchase of the above named machinery out of the said rental and building funds heretofore re-appropriated for said purposes. We also met on the 4th day of November, 1946, on the matter of the Robert's Road being constructed by Lake County, Illinois up to a proper connection with a road on or near the boundary line of said counties in the Town of Kunda. This County purchased the right of way for said connection several years ago. Lake County is now constructing the road and because of the right of way agreements which lhange the road from between the house and barn of the old Clark farm a new location west of the farm house, about 900 feet of new road needs to be built through a swamp In McHenry County to connect with the old County Line road. We punched a rod down through the soft muck and peat from 2 to I feet at various locations. We are also informed tha the old road nearby Is built on 4op of logs laid across the road. There is a solid sand bottom and we decided to remove the peat and soft materl"! refill with a sandy gravel. We could hire a light crane at $8.00 per hour to do the digging and load the County trucks with the County's 3-4 yd. shovel to 00 the filling from a borrow pit on 'the Geo. Scheir farm nearby at a cost of 10c per yard for gravel fill. We esstimate the job to take about to days at a cost for labor of $720, crane rental $600, gravel fill $600, gasoline and oil $400, or a total of $2,320.00 We are obligated to do this work b yagreements of several years standing and we expect to start work the latter part of this week. Lake County is to gravel the road anad raise it to proper grade. We again met at Woodstock, Illinois on the-9th day of November. 1946, and audited and ordered paid bills of a general nature chargeable to the McHenry County patrol system of roads is a whole for repair^ and supplies for ounty owned machinery and labor at the County tool house and grounds to a total" of $3,407.93 Bills chargeable to the - various sections of the County patrol system of roads at rates heretofore approved by this Board were audited and ordererd paid as follows: Sections 3, 114 $ 116.62 Sections 4.
