Mr. Harley Mackenben, Chairman Board of Sup>ervisors of
McHenry, County Woodstock, Illinois Subject:  Interchange at Route 47 tind  the   Northwest  Tollway Deal" Sir:
During the past eighteen months, The Illinois State Toll Highway Commission has been re¬ quested by you and other inter¬ ested citizens to consider a pro¬ vision for an interchange f)f traffic b(>tvveen Illinois Route 47 and the Noithwest  Tollway.
While no official traffic study has been made as to the use of such an interchange, it is the opin¬ ion of the Commission and its traf¬ fic engineers that an interchange nt this ix)int would be financially feasible.
At the present time, the Com¬ mission's construction funds are not available for the entire cost of this connection and will not be available in the foreseeable fu¬ ture.
The   following estimates of cost have been prepared by the Com¬ mission's engineers: 5,000 Land acquisition
85,000 Grad^^nd paving
15,000 SigilHrd lighting
75,000 Toll collection facilities
15,000 Engineering fees $ 195,000 TotaJ estimated ocst
The Commission will probably have funds available for the erec¬ tion of toll collection facilities and for the engii^fcng cost involved. This leaves $n?iK)0 to be provided from some other source other than the Commission. It might be posi- ble for local taxing bodies, mean¬ ing McHenry and Kane counties. lo acquire (ho necessary land and participate with the State in the construction of the necessary ramps. Any participation on the part of the two counties and the State should be proiwscd by a rep presentative group of citizens ra¬ ther than have the project initated by the Toll Road Commission.
As soon as the Commission can be assured that funds will be ava¬ ilable for the completion of this project, it will order the necessary traffic survey to be made, at the Commission's expense, and at a cost of somewhere between $5,000 and $10,000.
Yours   very  truly, Charles M. Burgess Chairman

Huntley's new police chief, Mr. Raymond Burton of Elgin went, on active duty in the Village of Huntley on Thursday, November 15. Actually CTiief Burton has loween in the Huntley area. How¬ ever, he did not assume full time ever, he did not assum full time duties until the 15th because of previous obligations.
In an interview with (Thief Bur¬ ton last week he recommended certain policies which he believes should be adopted in the future for the village of Huntley. Mr. Bur¬ ton said a small town police department such as Huntley's must be as efficient as one in a larger town. He went on to say that all lawbreakers will be treatec^ equally as this is hte only way that he can run his organizaztion ef¬ ficiently. There will be no specially privileged people.
Mr. Biulon suggested that par¬ allel parking should replace the present diagonal parking on the north side of Main Street from Church Street ot Woodstock St. • He also suggested that all deliver¬ ies and pickups for Main Street merchants should be handled at the rear entrances to the buildings

School Health Notes
On November 12 and 13th, a visual screening test was conduct¬ ed at our school through the co¬ operation of the P. T. A. Health Committee, the School Board, and volunteers. This test method was devised by registered opthamolo- gists, and the A.M.A. under the sponsorship of the Illinois Associa¬ tion for the Pr^ention of Blind¬ ness. It does not diagnose eye de¬ fects, but only serves to indicate that there is some visual difficulty We suggest to the parents that a complete eye examinatk>n by the doctor of their choice, be given to all children who failed the test.
472 chUdren were tested and of this group only 39 children with visual difficulties were found. Only parents of these <^ildren will be notified.
I am extremely grateful to aS the women who helped me. These women were very careful and cautious  in the administrati(Ni of
