"McHenry, Illinois -Cc; D*mr Sir; V" The various letters that appeared • 5*M*ntly in your newspapers under ,'^the caption "Public Pulse'5 regarding C4^tl*e service of the Chicago North- "s Weetara Railroad proved of great " interest to me as I happen to be one v*|of th» daily commuters from this • wea. ' If my memory serves me correctly, ;*ust a short time ago the Public Utility companies spent a great deal of money advertising the golden possibilities of developing the northwest section of Illinois, which of course includes this area. Evidently, those companies are appreciative of the large increase in population, in McHenry township and surrounding territory. As you know, they have spent a good sum of money tp increase the size of their mains as well as building several distribution stations so as to give better service to a community that is growing by leaps and bounds. Just a few weeks ago an announcement appeared in your newspaper informing us of th^ moving of the telephone exchange to larger quarters • in order that they may also give service to the increased demand of this community. Suming up all of the above Utility companine3 improvements, it seems to me this vast sum of money might have been spent in vain, as we are still behind the "Old Eight Ball," as we have only one train a day. We all know that there are hun- ' dreds of homes now standing vacant, which should not be, as our community has good shopping centers, schools, churches and recreational facilities that are not found in many I communities: in fact, we have everything but good transportation. Here's hoping the Chicago North- ' western railroad will get in step by improving the commuters' service fjifrwn this atea* Sincerely, A. J. KEEVIL. Pf Senator Ralph E.
