** Autoists who use the Sycamore-Burlington Road (today's Plank Road) who were hoping they would be connected by a blacktop between now and January 1, 1941, are in for a disappointment. It will not be built this year according to Frank O. Larson, county superintendent of highways. reason was lack of funds.
** Old Age Assistance recipients on the state rolls fell to 624 this month. It was 637 in February. The 624 recipients received a total of $12,158, an average of $19.48 a person.
** Two railroad crossing grades in Sycamore where people were killed in train-auto accidents are being looked at by state authorities. One is where Route 64 passes over the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Line five miles west of Sycamore. The other is the Great Western crossing at Richardson.
