(225 ILCS 435/17) (from Ch. 121, par. 717)
Sec. 17.
Every keeper of a ferry shall afford safe and speedy passage to
all persons and their teams and property, from daylight in the morning
until dark in the evening of each day, unless delay is necessary for
repairs, and during such further time as may be required by the county
board, and shall, at any hour in the night, when required, give passage to
any person or property on payment or tender of double the rate of ferriage
allowed during the day. No ferryman shall be required to give such passage
when it manifestly appears hazardous so to do, by reason of any flood,
storm or ice.
