t County Improvements Included In 69 State Road Building Program Gov. Samuel H. Shapiro has announced details of the state's 1969 road program -- the largest in Illinois' road building history. The 1969 Primary Highway Improvement program will provide for right-of-way acquisition and construction projects costing an estimated $348, 400,000. Of the total amount of $348, 400,000 estimated available for the 1969 program, $212,400,000 is earmarked for work on interstate highways and $136,000,000 for non-interstate highways. Right-of-way costs are expected to total about one-ninth of the program.* Of the $348,400,000 estimated available, the state will provide $99,000,000, local sources will provide $18,506,000, federal funds will provide $230,900,000 of which $191,200,000 must be used on interstate highways, and $39,700,000 on non-interstate highways. Among the non-interstate projects programs are included, in McHenry county, 111. 23, a bridge at Coon creek south of Northwest tollway, $95,000, and 111. 47, resurfacing of Wisconsin state line to Illinois i20 in Woodstock, $400,000. Right-of-way acquisitionprojects for future construction include, in the county, 111. 31, from State 176 to US 14 east of Crystal Lake, $60,000. In 1968, close to $200,000,000 in contract^ including those for right-of-way, were awarded. This was less than anticipated as the curtailment on the rate Of obligations of federal funds during 1968 prevented the placing of a number of federal raid projects under contract. Nine lettings were held during 1§68 at which 1,612 bids were received. This is an average of 2.7 bids per project on the 591 projects advertised. Eight lettings are j. scheduled for 1969, the first one in Springfield on January 24. Over 129 miles of new interstate highway were opened to traffic during the year. Other construction completed in 1968 included 41 miles of new pavement on other primary highways, 389 miles of bituminous concrete resurfacing and other work, 72 new bridges, and 123 new grade separation structures. ?

A real lesson in McHenry history. TTie Goodman home also has an enclosed heated swimming pool that our Scouts. , will be able to take advantage I of.
