Railroad Bill Nearing Passage and Auto License Proposals
Madison March 2 The Senate Committee on State Affairs agrees to report a substitute for the railroad rate measure and a state auto license bill. The auto bill requires owner registration and a state issued number plate with a $2 fee, limiting speeds to 12 mph in cities and 26 mph on country roads. A two cent passenger fare bill was delayed as hearings were postponed for a week while the railroad rate measure is processed. The assembly heard testimony on refunding money collected under the wedsters license law, but no action was taken. John B. Sanborn urged repayment for peddlers seeking relief against unconstitutional portions of the law.
