Legislature urge for passage a law which
will provide for a more thorough means OF
identification: the absolute abolishing OF all
technicalities as to speed regulations, re-
curing simply that the shall pro-
coed at all times at n rate of speed which
shall be reasonable and proper. due regard

imposed and that all such money so derived,
together with all money collected from fines,
be appropriated and put into a fund to be

improved highways Of this State"
