Wisconsin Legislature Backs Higher Highway Safety Spending
The assembly indicated it would spend up to 650000 annually for a state highway program, 100000 less than Governor La Follette proposed. The body advanced a safety bill, boosting the highway inspection force to 75 under civil service, while a 60 mph speed limit was debated. The relief bill moved toward final engrossment with a 5 million appropriation, and a 50 percent gift tax on estates, with a 30 percent Senate alternative.
