Page 4-B DMV Division Is Reorganized j . RALEIGH - In an effort to 'further reduce costs, protect North Carolina’s existing highway system from deterioration, ana improve operating ef ficiency, the license-theft weight enforcement section of the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in the N.C. Department of Tran sporation (NCDOT) has been reorganized. Com missioner of DMV R.i W. Wilkins, Jr., explained that, “This reorganization should benefit both the public and private sectors,” and that it “ties in with Governor Jim Hunt’s cost reduction and efficiency programs in state government.” Effective June 1 some license-theft-weight en forcement personnel will be reassigned to accomplish the efficiency ofjective. No personnel will be added; rather some personnel piay be shifted to other specifically designated areas. For example, weight enforcement districts (and district supervisors) will be reduced from eight to four. These four district super visors will oversee the in dividual inspectors and coordinate weight en forcement activities bet ■' For All Os Your Insurance Needs Contact Allen B.

The weigh stations in Apex and Salisbury will be closed because they are older and lack modern equipment. These two facilities, over time, have been bypassed with the rerouting and building of new roads and highways. Hie enhancement of the roving crew concept is a new educational approach to prevent further highway deterioration and preserve North Carolina’s existing highway system for its residents as well as visitors. Because the approach is new,'Commissioner Wilkins has suggested that any trucking organization or individual trucker contact in advance the lieutenant at a nearby weigh station and request information as to legal weight limits and on how to load trucks correctly and how to achieve an even distribution of weight to meet requirements. Commissioner Wilkins added that “By education private enterprise to correct loading procedures, we help the truckers comply with the laws and thereby avoid penalties and protect the public’s highways from | preventable damage.” Because of the increase in activity in the Wilmington port, the traffic flow of truckers entering and exiting Wilmington has steadily increased. Therefore, a portable weight crew will be assigned to the area to assist the growing numbers of truckers. For more information, representatives of the trucking industry may contact local weigh en forcement stations or the Raleigh DMV license-theft weight enforcement section at 919-733-7872.

Conversion Is Completed Virginia Electric and Power Company completed the conversion of its seventh generating unit from oil to coal with the return to service Thursday night of Portsmouth Power Station Unit 3. The conversion of Portsmouth Unit 3 to coal will save Vepco customers $15.5 - million in fuel costs in 1983 compared with the cost of burning oil. Vepco’s conversions from oil to less expensive coal since 1975 total 1.8 million kilowatts. Vepco’s ofi - to - coal conversion program is the largest in the nation and to date represents about one - third of all oil - to - coal conversions. Vepco will convert seven additional units totaling 700,000 kilowatts of capacity by 1986. When all 14 coal conversions are complete, the fuel savings to Vepco customers will amount to more than $350 - million in 1986. “The oil - to - coal con- F ACTOR ES j :ial SIDING | NSHIP” 1 FES EDENTON Thursday, May 97,1983 version program has bean a key ingrecfient in Vepco’s ability to reduce fuel charges to our customers in recent years,” said Vepco Executive Vice President Jack H. Ferguson. "The conversion of Portsmouth S and subsequent fuel cost savings, will help us meet our goal of keeping rate increases at or below the general inflation rate during the 1980 s.” CHI is expected to account for only 4 per cent of Vepco’s electricity supply this year, compared to 50 per cent before the 1973 oil embargo. The conversion of Ports mouth Unit 3 included the construction of a $15.6 - million, high - efficiency electrostatic precipitator to remove ash from emissions.
