1		HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION
2		WHEREAS, The old Stony Creek Bridge was a narrow cement
3		bridge on U.S. Route 150; the bridge's narrow passage could be
4		a safety hazard to semi-trucks, buses, and other large vehicles
5		that passed along the bridge; and
6		WHEREAS, Thanks to the great initiative of former Illinois
7		State Representative William Black, the Illinois Department of
8		Transportation replaced the old Stony Creek Bridge with a new,

11		Champaign; and
12		WHEREAS, Representative Black's dedication to his
13		constituents and to effective and honest public service is
14		worthy of the greatest respect; therefore, be it
