J Inspection Lane To Be Back In Murphy In Sept. Mechanical Inspection lanes are now on new schedules. Lane No. 1 which serves this area, will operate on the following schedule for the next three months: YVaynesville. July 1-13: Canton. July 15-29: Brevard, July 31-Atig. 10: Sylva. Aug 12-19: Franklin, Auk. 21-8: Bryson City, Aug. 31 Stpt. 6; Robbinsville. Sept 8-13; Murphy, Sept. 15-22: Havesvillc. Sept. 24-29: and W'aynesVille, Oct. The Motor Vehicles Department announces that of the total 859.771 vehicles registered in North Caro lina. only 231.253 have been in spected so far. This means', said /J.thur T Moore. Director of the Mechanical Inspection Division, that the De partment may have to bring out some new regulations demanding that motorists speed up the inspec tion program. "If we don't, it will mean that when the end of the year rolls around, a lot of cars si ill won't be wearing their blue approved stickers." Moore said. The Mechanical Inspection Pro gram went into effect last January, and since that time. 36 lanes have b e e n constantly in operation throuhout North Carolina. Half l he year is over now. and still not even half the registered ve hicles have been inspected? only around 30 per cent. Moore said the Department up to this point had put the inspec tion program on a voluntary' basis | to allow motorists to present their vehicles for inspection at their earliest convenience. He added, however, that "not enough have found it convenient up to this point, and if motorists continue to put off inspection, the lanes will be crowded near the end of the 1 >ear and we won't be able to take | care of everyone." "This makes us wonder about J the advisability of writing some new regulations which will require certain year model vehicles to\ be presented for inspection by a cer- j tain date." Moore said He added that the Department has full power to do this, for under the Inspection .Law. the Commissioner j of Motor Vehicles has power to j promulgate such rules and regula- 1 tions as may be necessary- to i administer the law. Moore stated that if inspection lane business does not pick up considerably within the next few days that he would suggest that now regulations be written and | put into effect. Mrs. Sam Akin and Miss Mary Akin have as guests this week, j Mrs. George P. Powell and son. George Parker of Charlotte, and Mrs. Paul Sehotield and ehildren, j Patricia and Paul Akin of States 1 vlllc.
