lish notice for hearing on said applica.
ition.
The following recommendation Of II
A. Little, county engineer, was pre-.
sented:
In accordance with the provisions of
section 1527-r1 S. S., hereby recon-
mend that change be made in the
primary road system Of Hamilton
county as follows:
Beginning at a point approximately
u mile east of the S. w. corner of
section 33-S0-26. where the present
road, known as the Hawkeye Highway,
crosses the Illinois Central Railway,
thence east along the north side of the
!. G. Railway right-of-way and border
ing same to the S. +. corner of said sec
tion 33, thence continuing eastward
along the right-of-way of said !. G.
Railway but wholly within said right
of-way to a point approximately 500
feet west Of the south n corner Of
section 34-S9-26, there to connect with
the present road going east.
This proposed road will replace the
present location which lies south of the
railroad and will straighten the road
and eliminate two railway crossings
for all east and west traffic. In the
event that the new location is adopted
and improved the present road may be
dropped from the primary road system
and turned back to the township.
Surveys Of this proposed change have
been made by the State Highway Com
mission i'll connection with proposed
Improvement of the entire Hawkeye
Highway under date of Oct. 4, 1920,

located as above described and the con-
sent, cooperation, and permission of
the State Highway Commission and
Federal government to the improve
ment as proposed in said plans are
withheld until this right-of-way is
secured. therefore recommended that
necessary action to obtain this right
of-way be taken.
