Word from Capital Means Much Locally with High-- ways Being Built The official marking system which is designed to give Illinois the best marked highways in the world, will be completed in its en-- larged form within the next 380 or 40~ days. The system which has been under eonsideration for several months, was decided upon at a conference of Governor Small, -- Director -- of Maintain Detours. Another important decision reach-- ed was that beginning with the traffic season next spring detours would be completely marked and maintained by the state. All state bond issue routes neither complet-- ed or under contract. will have in-- stalled upon them temporary route markings, guiding the traveling public oven the best routes: which will follow .as closely as possible the final rounte of the pavement. "These routes will be maintained un-- der' autherity of the state high-- «ize, 24 inches by 42 InCchnes, Wil} 0C erected at all points on the high-- way at which the attention of the driver, either for guidance or safety should be arrested.

The route marking will consist of «n outline of the state in which will be placed the route number, At all main cross--roads the mileage to the northern and eastern terminus of the route.will be indicated on the sign in small red figures. The outline of the state, the route num-- ber and the mileage will also be stenciled on the back of all warn-- ing signs. In addition to the out-- line of the state and the route num-- ber will be painted on poles at fre-- qyent intervals so that the traveler will always have one of the standard signs in view. T Where continuous care for a cer-- tain distance is necessary, because of railroad crossings, curves, nar-- row bridges, schools, ete.. "Cau-- tion --Zones" have been: established, These zones will be marked with a board lettered "Caution Zone" and distinguished by a border of : diag-- onal black and white stripes. Cities and Villages. The routes through the cities and villeges will be marked with a metal sign mounted upon a post and bearing the same inseription as the highway signs. Where there is a right or left turn an arrow will in-- dicate the direction. °: Work of in-- stalling these metal signs has al-- ready started 'and they are being. put up as rapidly as they can be manufactured and permits for their erection secured; In order to give the public immediate advantage. of the system temporary signs are be-- ing placed on the poles along the ing pli routes.
