Truck Law Aided State Road Funds
Wisconsin’s truck road law enforcement over six months raised more than 800000 dollars. License fees and transport taxes jumped 708000 from the prior year while fines and costs added 100000. Gov Rennebohm urged county highway officials to sustain enforcement to boost highway construction funds. James R Law noted controlled access benefits and warned that unrestricted growth harms traffic capacity and will require relocation. He projected highway construction may drop by one third in 1951 as war-era funds vanish.
