Section II: The rate Of speed
on all streets, roads and high

way of this State shall be an un-
reasonable speed and is prohib-
tied by this act; provided, how
ever, that no motor vehicle shall
be driven at rate faster than
eight miles an hour upon the
country roads or highways Of
this State when within one hun
dred yards of any vehicle drawn
