RayHwnA Rob flnM 'Progressive, and Adolph Germer, Socialist candidate for Benator, Al SUFFRAGE CONTRACTOR TAYLOR SAYS that unless Winter comes unusually 'early he will have boone county strip of state aid road in shape for travel before the ground freezes. Contractor Frank Taylor is pushing the work of building the mile of concrete roadway on the Poplar Grove-Belvidere road south of the Beaver with all possible speed. Mr. Taylor stated Tuesday that he expectB to complete this stretch of state-aid road this fall unless the fall rains interfere too seriously. The roadway near the Beaver will be brought to the grade-of the present Beaver bridge, which is four or five feet above the old grade and about one foot above high water mark.

Ma terial for the big fill along the, low stretch south of the Beaver will be hauled from the cuts made in the hills to the south. The main hill will have a cut of seven feet In places and this will yield an immense amount of black dirt, clay and some rock, In fact more than will be required to bring the lov spots up to the new grade. Engineers estimate that only seventy-five per cent of the earth excavated in the cuts can be utilized in the fills. The roadway is to be made a width of thir ty feet, the center having ten feet of concrete with a ten foot dirt road on each side. In eastern states where concrete roads have been in use for several yearsfit is found advisable' to have a dirt road on each side of the concrete portion a9 farmers prefer to use the dirt roads Jn dry seasons, the concerte being hard on horses' feet.

The state supplies the cement to be used in all state-aid road work in order, to insure having a uniform qual ity. The concrete will be made by mixing' washed gravel with the sand and cement Gravel for the Poplar Grove road job will be brought from the pits at Beloit, Wis. Contractor Taylor estimates that about 1200 yards will be required. It will be shipped to Poplar Grove as the haul is much shorter than from Belvidere. The road will be open to teams most of the time during the period ofj con struction but automobiles 'will prob ably prefer to detour as some of the temporary side roads will be difficult for autos to negotiate.

IL.has been suggested that it would be a good thing to have detour signs posted "fw the 'benefit of local and out side motorists. Here is a chance for the automobile club to get in its work All through the east whenever a road is closed the nearest automobile club posts slgn directing Strang ers how to tet around the road work These Bigns are usually printed on bright yellow cardboard with a hand pointing in the direction to be follow ed at every turn. When the construction work is well under way Constractor Taylor will em ploy a large number of teamsters to rush it along. Another year It Is hoped that Boone county Will be able to build two miles of road. Counties the size of DeKalb are building five miles this year and expect to double the distance in 1915 DeKalb county selected the main Syc amore-DeKalb road for the first work The state had already built more than a mile, of experimental concrete road between these two cities and with the five miles now building Sycamore and DeKalb will be linked with a fine con crete roadway all the way.
