Jobs to Avoid .Winter Detours, In view of the possibility that the end of the construction season will be close at hand, highway conistruction contractors in the 'Chcago area are rushing pending jobs with ait ý pos- sible speed, in order to, be able to eliminate existing detours before win- ter sets in, according to the touring bureau of the Chicago Motor ctub. At.the.presenit time, fine state bigli- ways withini a radius of thirty-five miles of Chicago are 'barricaded for. varying distances. These highways onwhich detours wilt be en'countered are 4 (Joliet road),, 5 (Lake Street), 6 (Roosevelt road), 18 (Ogden avenue), t9(Nrthesthighway), 21 (Milwau- kee avenue), 46 (Mannheim road), 54 (North. avenue) and 38 (Evanston- Elgin road). The motor club added. that îimport- ant construction is in progress on a niumber of main county highWays and that detours likewise wilt be encouný' tered on these routes. Among the more important of these are Touby avenue, Southwest highway, Lincoln avenue, River road, 95th street, and C rawf ord, avenue., Whilé in most in- stances the detour 'routes are fairly adequate and well marked, it is sug- gested that nitorists'e niap their routes with a .view ,to avoiding them ýif possible.

These signis are replacing,,in most. instances, other signs posted by the .municipalities and' which indicated speed limits frequently in conflict with. the provisions 'of the' Illinois miotor, vehicle aèt with, respect to speed inside the limits of municipal- ities. This, practice, in itself,_ is in violation of the act, which forbids conimunities f romn setting, speed lim- its which differ, from those specified by the state. In response to iany inqu iries con- cerning the provisions of the act with respect to the speed of passen- ger cars in incorporated, cities, towns and villages, thé Chicago Motor club pointed out that the prima f acie limits are fifteen miles per hour in closely huilt up, businiess, districts,; twenty miles per hour in residentiat districts, and twenty-five miles per hour else- where than in closely bulilt-up dis- trcsbut withiin the corporate limits. "In view of the'fact that these arej prima facie speed limits, and that the act also provides that no one shall drive a car at a speçd greater thant 's reasonaile antd.prtoper, having re-r gard. to the traffic and the use of the > wvay,' nor shaîl endanger tife' or prop-j 'erty, these limits are not to. be con-t strued as arbitrary," the legal de- partment of the motor club explained. "Under certain conditions, one could exceed themn witro'ut violating the 'law; uinder other conditions, driving at such speeds woutd be illegal. "The act specifies that driving in excess of, these limits shall be prima facie evidence tbat such. speed was' improper. The accused must show thatthe speed at wbîch be was.driv- i ng was not unreasonable nor Nvas' he enidangcring tif e or property. Thus, any, speed t hat is proper also islegal.
