Inspection Os Cars
Lane No. 39 Will Be In
Edenton Three Times
In 1949
D. Skiles, supervisor for Lane 39
of the State automobile mechanical ]
inspection lanes, early this' week
stated that during the coming year
he will conduct two inspections,
which means that the number of
automobiles to be inspected will be
doubled. In the seven counties where
he works he will have approximately
38,000 cars to inspect, with about 65
per cent failing on the initial inspec
tion, making in the neighborhood of
52,000 cars going through his lane.
For the owner’s benefit, therefore,
Mr. Skiles suggests that cars be in- 1
spected not later than the 18th of,
the month the lane is in operation.
Lane No. 39 is scheduled to be in
Edenton January 15 to 19, February
12 to 15 and March 15 to 17.
There will be different models in
each month to be inspected. In Jan
uary all models up to and including
1936 must be inspected and have the
approval seal by January 31, In
February 1937 and 1938 models must
be inspected and so on during the six
month period.
This year, according to Mr. Skiles,
the lane had only 19,000 inspections
with about 4,000 more to go. He
said it isn’t possible to inspect all
of these cars, so that some will be
embarrased January 1 when the
Highway Patrol will start enforcing
the North Carolina law, which re
quires every motor vehicle powered
by engine and licensed to be in
spected by December 31, 343.
' The same lew modifie 1 says in
1949 a!', me tor vehicles license! :r.
North Carolina must be inspected and
carry the approval seal by Julv 1,
1949, and the third inspection seal by
December 31, 1949.
In the eastern district, according
to Mr. Skiles, registrations in both
Pasquotank and Chowan are behind.
“We have been to Edenton 10 times
this year with 49 work days, and
there are approximately 4,800 auto
mobiles registered in Chowan,” said
Mr. Skiles. “The lane can handle
295 cars per day, so if 100 per day
would come for inspection there
would not be long lines and tiresome
waiting.”

Former Teacher In
Chowan County Dies
At Home In Franklin
Miss Celestia Goodrich Webb, 82,
died Sunday morning, December 5, at
her home in Franklin.
“Miss Lessie,” as she was known
to a wide circle of friends and ac
quaintances, was the daughter of the
late Louis Henry Webb, captain in
the North Carolina Artillery, C.S.A.,
and Gattie Anna Lawrence Webb of
South Quay. She was born in Rock
ingham, N. C., on December 13, 1866,
and moved to Franklin in early child
hood.
Beginning her career in Chowan
i County, Miss Lessie later taught in
Gatesville and in Holland. She
taught at the private school of J.
Edward Coffield, which was located on
' the E. L. Winslow homeplace at
Cross Roads. Many of Chowan Coun
, ty’s older residents will remember
| her, having taught quite a few who
' | are still living.
In 1900 Miss Webb collaborated
: with her sister, Miss Fannie Webb, in
' establishing in Franklin the Euphra
dian Institute, in which she taught
i until 1930, when the school was dis
continued. From 1930 until her re- 1
; cent illness she taught in the Webb
i School of Business in Franklin,
i Throughout her varied career Miss
; Lessie gained an enviable reputation
as a successful teacher, an accom
plished English scholar and a musi
cian. She was recognized ss a poet
i of real talent with several of her
■ poems being published.
She is survived by two sisters,
, Misses Fannie and Gattie Webb, both
, of Franklin. •
