This Court has consistently dismissed all such cases properly lying against the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, and we hold that the instant claim should likewise be dismissed.\nIt is therefore ordered that the motion of the State of Illinois be, and the same is, hereby granted, and the claim herein is dismissed, with prejudice.",
