The group also favored placing a three to five year limitation on the license ordinance. However, businessmen said the fees -would be continued if the program is successful. City councilmen said the ordinance would receive fur ther study and would consid er suggestions of time limits. The vote favoring the fees came after a question and an swer session at the chamber meeting.

Holmes termed the cost "a shocking reminder of the need for the state's stepped-up - accident prevention program." In 1956, accident costs were estimated at $50,640,000. The governor figured that every licensed drivers' share of the state's bill would be about $64, or about $6 more per driver than in 1956.
