At the Illinois highway 25 intersection north of Elgin, the governor and his party reviewed an historical pageant of ox drawn wagons', remindful that the -northwest toll-way is following the approximate route of a territorial trail between Chicago and the lead mines of Galena."

Commuter Fare displaced freeways which were on the program for construction with the federal government paying 90 per cent of the costs. There are no substantial areas of conflict between the toll projects and the interstate expressway system provided by a 1956 act of congress," said Stratton.

There is no obstacle to the effective coordination of these two diverse methods of going about the business of modernizing our highway system in an orderly way. Advantage of Tollway "Here I should like to emphasize that the great advantage of our Illinois tollway system, an asset which could become available in no other1 way, is the, fact that much of it went into operation today and all of it will be in use byj the end of this year. On the other hand, completion of the interstate system in Illinois 1,600 miles estimated to cost 2 billion dollars will take 13 years and possibly longer. "It may interest you to hear that the combined highway construction program, including state and toll road projects for this calendar year, approximates 751 million dollars. Of this, the tollway work accounts for 224 million dollars.

1 Our state primary and interstate building program totals 298 million dollars. Another 95 million dollars is motor fuel tax revenue allotted to cities, counties, and townships. Work is also going forward on 121 million dollars worth of state road and bridge projects carried over from 1957. Our regular highway programs are employing a labor force of 60,000. Approximately 50 per cent of all road expenditures goes into the pock Stratton Makes Tour of Road Continued from first page 28 months after the first dirt was turned."

"We have seen the dedication of the first unit of the largest' public works program in the history of the state," the governor said in his main address at the 'dinner in Rock-ford. We have participated in programs which mark new economic stimulation for the cities of this area, and which in fact meet the problems of today and offer progress for tomorrow. Construction at Peak "This 76 mile segment now open to the public represents the best possible product of engineering ingenuity, building know-how, skilled labor, and great administrative and executive talents. It is a durable monument to free enterprise and an outstanding example of what can be accomplished thru cooperative efforts of capital, management, and labor. "To complete this huge task, many contractors are working 20 hours a day.

Construction activity has reached a peak, Of 1 million dollars a day. Contractors are paying 2 million dollars a week in wages to 18,000 persons directly employed on the project. All of the 187 mile toll-way is integrated with Chicago's present and proposed expressway system which will ultimately provide a complete network of expressways for this metropolitan area and all of northern Illinois."

The railroad asked the federal commission to participate in the hearing after the state commission rejected the railroad's request and ordered an investigation of the rate structure. Loss Put at 5 Million Last spring several suburban communities, commuter groups, and the city of Chicago asked the federal body to drop out of the case. They contended that the suburban fare increase was entirely within Illinois and therefore not under jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce commission. The federal body refused to withdraw. Illinois Central officials contend the higher fares are needed to offset losses of some 5 million dollars in suburban operations, since 1947.

Wayne Johnston, president of the Illinois Central, called the recommendation a disappointment. He said a 20 per cent increase would not give the railroad a fair return on its 40 million dollar investment in electrified suburban service. Johnston said that he felt the presentation the railroad made before the commissions fully justified its request for a bigger increase. 'dispute is before the national mediation board.
