Wisconsin legislature moves to revise speed limit in traffic code
Gov Kohler objects to definite speed limit on highways and lawmakers withdraw the state traffic code for amendment. Expected change is removal or raising of the forty five mile per hour limit as debates over speed rules continue. The governor vetoes the Seven Pines state park bill citing finances and park use policy. He argues against extra surtaxes and nonessential spending while urging restraint on state expenditures.
