No~IL.m-&VA -A1934 - 4M- TTF I.T1 Want Payment by the Sta'te For Street -Pav:ing. The Suburban Area and Country Towns Association of Cook County has determined to work for the pay- nient by the state of a refund to everv City and village, for the paving of any streets taken- over as a state highway, after such streets have been paved by the municipality. "Durîng the past few years the State Highway departmentbas takeni over many streets within cities and villages of Cook county, and desig- nated tbem as state' highways," Thom- as A. Matthews, secretary of the asso- ciation, explains. "When this is done, the state then assumes primary juris- diction over the street, and the author- ity of the local o fficiais is subordinate. Traffic, rules are made and enforced I)y the state department, and in many instances parking by the residents who actually paid for the pavement is prohibited. "Although the state bas paid a por- 'tion of the cost of paving in some cases. the highway department bas often taken over a street shortly after it was paved, entirely at the expense *of the local residents. The depart- nient is authorized to make a refund to the municipality tider these cir- curinstances, and it bas done so lai iliatv cases down state. -The Suburban Area and Countr * Towns Association of Cook County afsks that such refunds be made in ev- crv instance where a street paved by a city or village bas been taken over as a state highway. Where paving was laid by special assessments, this would mean a refund to the owners of the property who paid such special assess- ments; and any expense which had been paid by the city or village out of its general fund would be repaid to the inunicipality."
