Sycamore Road Controversy Prompts Possible Injunction
Sycamore Chamber of Commerce road committee rushes to avert an injunction amid a dispute with Harry Vandeburg over Route 64 construction on his farm. Vandeburg claims an agreement to build a cattle pass and drainage under Route 64, while contractors and state highway officials deny knowledge of such terms. A conference at Vandeburg’s farm aims to forestall legal action and align the project with the promised cattle passage.
