West Lincoln Highway Group Seeks State Aid Details
The West Lincoln Highway Improvement Association voted to send Attorney H. H. Prentice to Springfield to confirm how much the state highway department will contribute to paving from the bridge to the city line. The group objects to a Rockford bid for brick and cement pavement and wants cement as petitioned. They question state funding on state property and whether Illinois will cover about $15,000 of frontage costs.
