Pictured above is Sate Repre- aentative Daniel Pierce at the intersection of Route 47 and Main Street in Huntley. Rep. Piorcg_was inspecting this crossing and ^pB^ that he firteada to inveatigaU^'fa* PMatbtKty of getting someTf^^of signal light at this polniflyie crossing is used by school chWriBn and in the past accidents have oc¬ curred.
Rep. Pierce stated that he criti¬ cized the decision of the Illinois Tollway rejecting a request by the City of Woodstock for an inter¬ change on the Northwest Tollway at Route 47. He went on to say that citizens must continue to fight for the Route 47 interchange by keeping the pressure on the tollway commission until it chang¬ es its mind. The decision of the commission was announced on September 1, and was rejected on   the   recommendation   of   the
Wilbur Smith & Associates of New Haven, Conn, engineering consultants. Mr. Pierce stated that the denial was based in 1963-64 figures and did not talce into ac¬ count the iaereaaed txaffic of 1966 and" tite ytojMir'*bt«ne>"rer the next five years.
Rep. Pierce stated that recently an interchange had been approved by the commission north of Rock¬ ford for a race track entrance. He stated that he considered that the industries of McHenry Cotmty would derive more benefit from an interchange at this point than for one near a race track. He said that 25 per cent of the cost of the Rockford interchange was borne by   the  Tollway   Commission.
Accompanying Rep. Pieree was his campaigrn manager; Mr. Leroy Wirsing, Democratic precinct committeeman and Howard Ruth, Grafton township  Supervisor.
Progress Report On New School
One half of the roof of the new school building has been com¬ pleted. This roof has a 20 year guarantee. The completed portion of the roof lies over class room areas on the west part of the building. This section when com¬ pleted will have a metal gate to seal it off from the other parts of the building so that it may be used for events, meetings, and other  special events.
There are two commercial rooms in the building, separated by win¬ dows. This will enable a teacher to conduct two classes simultane¬ ously. A number of wall outlol? have been placed in these rooms to accommodate the use of modern electrical  office  machinery.

It was stated that when Lincoln Street was put in it cost $30,000.
A discussion was held on the new building. The School Board has asked the Village Board to pipe water to the new building. However, according to Don En¬ strom, village trustee who was at the meeting, the village cannot pipe water to the school until the exact dimensions of the extension of Mill Street are determined. The proposed extension of Mill Street will run from Route 47, past the new school building to Sunset Drive and possibly to the end of the  school  property.
According to the village or¬ dinance covering roads, the right- of-way of streets must be 66 feet. Part of this land will come from the school property and part from the Park property. Mr. Wayne Zimmerman, president of the school board, stated that possible the school could give 20 feet of their property without interfer¬ ing with the lights and Iwclutopa which are now in existence. He stated that he was not sure of the exact measurements and that he would have to measure the land before a definite decision could be made.
The proposed extension of Mill Street will jog at Lincoln Street to the north of the new building, CON-nNUED ON PAOE 8BYSN
