Commanding new power and beauty keynote Willys-Overland's popular and familiar line of useful vehicles. New models, unveiled on March 30, incorporate many engineering and styling advances unique in American autos. In functional beauty, the new Willys line is unsurpassed. Willys' stylists, following the company's established policy of c l e a n , u n c o m p l i c a t e d d e s i g n , took the angular appearance of the car, contoured and streamlined it into eye-pleasing, windflow lines as illustrated by the JeepBter, above. On the grille are horizontal chrome crossbars, which emphasize the low, fleet lines r'f the car. New fender and hood beauty is underscored by lengthwise wind creases and rolled edges on these components. The improved design further adds additional strength to the already rugged bodies of the Willys cars. A new, high compression 4- eylinder engine, called the "Hurricane" powers the new Willys models. The engine, of F-head design, underwent almost two years of intensive testing in the Willys research laboratories and on "the road. In performance, economy, and power it proved it self one of the most efficient and compact power plants manufactured today. NEW ENGINE ADVANTAGES The Willys F-head "Hurri cane" (cutaway view above) boasts many advantages in en* gine operation. More uniformly warmed fuel mixtures, with an elimination of an exhaust heated "hot-spot" gives greater engine thermal efficiency. The spark plug location near the center of the combustion chamb e r m a k e s p o s s i b l e f a s t e r , knock-free ignition. A greatly enlarged intake valve with relatively low lift increases fuel mixture intake velocity and reduces resistance to easy engine breathing." The engine devel--- ops 72 horsepower at 4,000 RPM with a compression ratio of 7.4 to 1. The Willys 6-cylinder engine, named the "Lightning," ha* been redesigned to develop 75 horsepower at 4,000 RPM with a compression ratio of 6.9 to 1. Available as an option in the Willys station wagon and Jeepster, the "Lightning" offers unusual power and economy with the smooth performance of 6 cylinders. .<* . HALF-TON TRUCS INTRODUCED k A new, two wheel drive, halfton truck with a curb weight of 2,868 pounds is now offered by Willys. Using the new, more powerful "Hurricane" engine, the tftuck is able to perform a wide range of commercial and farm tasks with ease and economy.

You will have an opportunity on Tuesday, April 11,1950, to vote on the proposed $2,000,000. Bond Issue for Road Improvement. At an estimated cost of $29,060.00 per mile, this will actually blacktop less than 70 miles of road in McHenry County, which is only a trifle over 7% of the 973 miles of road in your county. Y our vote will decide whether the cost of these roads will become an additional burden on the already overtaxed property in McHenry County. At present theste roads are being constructed from the receipts' of the Motor Fuel Tax. WHY should not this method be continued? Should not these roads be paid for by a tax on the users of the roads,and not against the property owners? The Supervisors hope that a part of the bonds may be paid from the Motojr Fuel Tax Fund. After payment of the maintenance of the new roads, together with a possibility that all of the Motor Fuel Tax may be used for additional roads, it is very doubtful if any substantial amount will become available. The bonds are to be repaid over a ten-year period. Figuring interest at 2%,- the maximum estimated cost to you over this p-si? aift jo 00*000'1$ joj 06*H$ s! poua sessed valuation of your property. This would make a total of a farm assessed at twenty thousand dollars, the sum of $298.00. Even if some of the Motor Fuel Tax is used, the cost will at least be $225.00 to $250.00* Three of the township® in McHenry County, namely, Dorr, McHenry, and Nunda, have already had their own Bond issue to improve their roads, and are now being asked for a second" bond issue to pay for County Roads. Five townships get 6% of the roads and pay 45% of the cost. The figures are as follows: Township Miles of Roads To Be Resurfaced % Of Total Proposed Proportion of Burden Twp.

Their roads are much cheaper, and are estimated to cost $14,400 per mile. The Boone County roads have been approved by the State Highway Department. Would it not be better to construct some good gravel roads? This amount of money would gravel four to five hundred miles of road, and let all of the people benefit, instead of a few.
