The following is a reporv .rom Senator Collins on the history and progress towards securing a toU- way entrance on Route 47.
On November 26th. 1969, WU¬ liam Berfine, publisher of the Woodstock Sentinel, Robert Green- away, DeKalb, member of the Toll- way Authority and Senator Denms CoUins, DeKalb, chainnan of the Toliway Advisory Committee, at¬ tended a meeting of the Toliway Authority Directors in Chicago. These group of men requested that a second study be made in refer¬ ence to gaining the Route 47 en¬ trance and exit j    ^ .u«
A resolution was passed at the meeting by the Illinois Toliway Highway Commission, authorizing » feasibility study by Wilbur Smith and Associates for a proposed m- icrchange at Route 47 and the Northwest ToUway near HunU<V.

Huntley school officials wish it to be known that there is a new policy w.th regard to the use of the inter¬ com system in the elementary school. In the past, many organ¬ izations and individuals have used the school Intercom as a means for conununicating tlieir various mes¬ sages. From now on,however, the tatercom will be used as Uttle as possible, and theo for school bual- ness only. Only in case of emer- , gency will messages be delivered for ; outside groups or individuals. ,'
There is a definite reason for this » change. Tbe main purpose of the; sdux>I is to educate children aod:^ to accomplish this difficult objective; the teacher must have the attenticm of the students in the classroom. Use of the interc<Mn destroys the attention of the student. The prob¬ lem is made very complex in the elementary   building   because   four time-<cbedules are in operation — high   scbool,   junior   high   school, middle   elementary,   and   primary Continued oa Pate fwo INTERCOMS

Dear Sir:
For three years now I have been working to obtain an interchange at Route 47 and the Northwest ToU¬ way to allow ao eotrance on tbe toliway towards Chicago and an exit from Ch.cago. The interchange has long been requested by officials ot the City of Woodstock and other McHenry County communities. The economy of this area has suffered from tbe fact that although Route 47 is one of the main Sooth-North highways in Illinois, ao exits were provided at the time the Northwest ToUway was constructed.
A joint resolution which I intro¬ duced in tlie Illinois House of Rep¬ resentatives in March, 1967 was adopted by both the House and the Senate on Mareh 15, 19«7. The resolution urged the Qlinols State ToU Highway Commission to coo- struct a North bound exit and a South bound entrance on the Northwest ToUway at Route 47. I enclose a copy of tJiis joint resolu¬ tioa adopted by tfae Oeneral As¬ sembly.
At the time tbe resohitioo was forwarded   to   Mr.   BonniweU   we were assured that when tbe North¬ west Tcrflway was cooverted  to a barrier system, rather than a ticket system.   Route  47   would   be  pix>- vlded with an interclian»e. The pur¬ pose of this letter is to inquire as to the current sUtus of this matter whicb has been too long delayed. Very tndy yours, Daniel M. Pierce State Rei»«8entative
