Tollway disputes push right of way purchases forward
After a failed bid for a temporary injunction against the East-West Tollway Extension to Rock Falls, tollway officials are buying land along the route. Citizens from Kane DeKalb and Lee Counties, backed by NFC chapters, sued in U S District Court in May to halt the project on ecological grounds. A judge denied the injunction and will rule on a motion to dismiss soon. Land purchases proceed with projected project completion in fall 1973 amid steady objections fading. Meanwhile Sterling firemen prepare for Miss Flame Festivals as Fire Prevention Week nears, with local agencies entering contests in the Blackhawk district.
