Report to People of Grafton Twp.
This year we are planning on resurfacing    approximately    3 miles  of  toad   with   I'/- "   of blacktop overlay. Roads to be resurfaced   are   Square   Barn Road, Coyne Station Road from the   railroad   tracks   north   to Ernesti    Road,    and    Hillview Drive along with Lakeview Drive in   Colleen   Cotes  subdivision. Total bid for these roads was $72,862.00.     $82,000.00     was budgeted for this work. As we received a real good price on this over-lay work, there will be some   add-on   work.   Hope   to complete overiay on Union road from   where   work   terminated last  year  on   to  Hemmingsen Road.   Higgins  Asphauh  from Dundee will do the work and it will be done the latter part of July. The $82,000 will be funded by     the     following     sources ($20,000    Motor    Fuel    Tax, $10,000     Revenue      Sharing, $20,000  General   Road -Fund, $32,000 Pennanent Hard Road Fund),  If rtvfcntte  sharing  is extended this yeat, the Road District     stands     to    receive another $10,000 which will be put out on  bids for patching throughout the township where cracking     of     pavement      is excessive.
Two new large culverts will replace inadequate drainage culverts, (one on Union Road at Emesti Road, the other on Haligus Road just before Albrecht Road). These new culverts will be funded by the McHenry County Highway Dept with not cost to the township. When these are installed. M will cause a little inconvenienee for a day or two as the roads will have to be detoured.
We     curtently     are     busy rebuildins    some    ditches    in
