County Board Votes to Pave the Two Remain
ing Strips in State Highway 81
During Next Year.
FEDERAL AID WILL BE $4,000
Project Will be Carried on Under Federal Aid Plan
With State Also Paying $4,000 and County
Merely Advancing $4,000

of Town Chairman William Luke. 1t
was attended by scores of property
owners of the town, many of them
desiring that the county should take
immediate steps to pave the Geneva
road from the Fox River bridge to the
county line. 1t was maintained that
the road was in deplorable condi-
tion and that the Improvement was
needed so badly that the county
should not wait until the state would
undertake the project.
Highway Commissioner John Herzog
and County Clerk Holderness address,
led the meeting and explained that the
building of the road now would mean
that the county would be forced to
make direct bond issue of $175,000 to
pay for the work, whereas within a
very few years the state would build
the road as federal aid project
without cost either to the county or
to the town of Wheatland.
Not Laid Before Board.
Many of those in attendance at the
meeting were won over to the policy
of waiting for the state to complete
the highway, while others believed
that the road was needed so badly
now that there should be no more
delay even though it did mean an
other bond issue for the county. The
proposal was not put to a vote and
no formal petition on the question was
presented, the object of the meeting
being to show the attitude of the
property owners in Wheatland towards
the project.
The improvement of Highway 81
had been long considered as the work
to be carried on during the year 1924
in the county and no formal proposal
for changing this plan was submitted
to the county board this morning.

Kenosha county's road program for
the year 1924, was mapped out this
morning when the county board of
supervisors directed Highway Com
missioner John Herzog and State High
way Engineer Weymouth to prepare a
resolution providing for the paving
of the two remaining strips of High
way 81 in Kenosha county as a fed
eral aid project. The two pieces of
highway in question are the strip eX-
tending north from Bloxdorf's tavern
at the intersection of the highway
with the Geneva road to the Burling-
ton road, a distance of two and one
half miles, and strip farther north
on what is known as the Kilbourn
road extending from the Burlington
road to the county line, a distance of
one and threefourths miles.
This, it is believed, will comprise
the road building program for Keno
sha county for next, year.
Federal Aid Project.
These two strips will be constructed
as a federal aid project, the federal
government providing $4,000 for the
erection of the highway, the state
furnishing $4,000 more and the county
advancing $4,000. The latter is to be
returned to the county by the state as
soon as the funds are available.
The project was favored both by
Highway Commissioner John Herzog
and State Engineer Weymouth, who
addressed the board regarding it be-
fore any action was taken. The formal
resolution is now being prepared and
will be laid before the board for adop-
ton later in the week.
Wheatland Wants Action.
