I The headlight requirements doubtless seem very complicated to the average layman. But when you take your car for its inspection test, a testing appa ratus will be able to tell in a few seconds whether your lights are capable of being approved. But to make sure that they will meet requirements at the state inspection, the Motor Ve hicles department is urging you to have a mechanic give them a prior check-up. Most garages will give you a free inspection. Motorbikes And Scooters Must Be Inspected, Too The State Motor Vehicles De partment has announced today that the new Inspection law re quires that trailers, motorcycles, scooters, and motorbikes be in spected along with all automo biles and trucks in the state. Arthur T. Moore, chief of the Mechanical Inspection Division, said that since the law requires that these vehicles be registered, it also requires that they be in spected for safe mechanical con dition. There is a provision, however, that farm trailers of less than 2,500 pounds gross weight will be inspected free of charge. Rural Mail Carrier Examination Will Be Conducted Here Soon A civil service examination to fill a rural mail carrier vacency at the Franklin post office will be held here In the near futre, It has been announced.
