In conclusion, Mr. Goerger felt that reduction of the speed limit to 40 miles per hour will not prevent accidents but it will drastically reduce personal injuries. He again requested the Board to consider widening the road and filling in some of the curves on the inside. The Board felt that the speed limit should be left at 40 for some time yet, and that it is time to look over the 5-year road construction program to determine priorities. On motion by Mrs. Stanton and seconded by Mrs. Wold, the meeting was adjourned.
