Wisconsin Senate Passes Inspection Fee Hike Measure
A bill to raise inspection fees for Wisconsin industrial plants cleared a Senate afternoon session. If enacted the tax would bring in about 850000 over the next two years by charging plants the actual inspection cost. A separate measure would boost Highway Commission funding by 200000 annually for shelters and waysides, up from 20000. The Senate also backed study of motorist financial responsibility laws for 1955. The upper house rejected a school consolidation reform bill 17 to 11.
