President Clarence Griggs of the

10000, which amount would be paid
to the construction company who in
turn would provide a sufficient surety
bond for the completion of the road,
and for fulfilling their part of the
contract, 50 that investors in stock OF
bonds of the company would have no
chance to lose a penny, that they
would either get their money back
by the bonding company II the con-
tractors failed to carry out their agree

Mr.. McCord told the audience his
company was very anxious to proceed
with the building of the road more
than to anbandon it entirely as ma.
terials OF every kind and labor had
advanced so that his proposition
could not remin open much longer
He assured the people that his com

and their own methods. That they
were to have the complete right OF
way furnished them, and the neces

amount to 20 per cent of the original

.STREATOR BOOSTS
FOR IVY WAY IN
PLEAS TO BOARD
CITY SHOWS ITS BiGNESS BY De.
MANDlNG APPROPRIATION FOR
HIGHWAY THO IT Is NOT ON
PROPOSED ROUTE.

| StreatOr showed the real booster
spirit yesterday, when delegation
from that city appeared before the
board Of supervisors to urge an appro-
priaton for the Chicago, Ottawa, Pc
oria and Springfield federal and state
aid road
The Streator delegation consisted of
Phil Sanders, chairman OF the Strea-
tor Good Roads Association, r. G.
Essington, manager; Atty Robt Lar
kin; ThOs. Pettigrue, secretary Com
mercial Association and Dr. Perisho.
The Streator delegation went before
the state aid road committee and urg-
ed the appropriation of sufficient
funds for the construction of the ma
tional highway through this county.
The Streator delegation claimed
that such road would be an inestim-
able benefit to all property in the
NouH'y anu WOulu Give tNtIy Out d
good road to Chicao and st. Louis and
intervening points.
This afternoon Assistant Division
Engineer Hunter explained to the
committee how the cost of the road
were to be spread He also took the
position that the Ivy Way was a state
aid road under the Tice law, that it
was designated as bond issue road
and that any deviation from this road
would jeaprodize the return of the
money invested under the Federal
State aid plan, providing the $50 900
bond issue passed.
This question came up when a cou-
pie of supervisors asked to have the
federal state aid road changed 80 as
to go through their townships.
