LAYS DOWN PLAN TO TEST JITNEY AUTOMOBILE The motor vehiclo. department has made arrangements tp eonduct an in- spection test, through its inepectors, before regisiration of any public ser- vice motor vehiele, The process to be followed amounts to_this: Each persen applying for registra- tion of a car for public service pur- poses will be assimned to an inspecter for examination of equipment of the car proposed to be registered, and until passed by the inspector, ho reg- istration will be allowed. No charge will be made for first examination, but for a second or subsequent examing- tion, when made necessary hy defects, 2 fee of 52 will be charged, This projeet is the Iresult of a large numher of complaints and convictions relating to cars used for public ser- vice purpotes. where equipment— especially lights and brakes—efther are originally out of erder, or become sq after use. The test will provide a standard whereby the department and all en- forcement officers will knew eagh public service moter vehicle to he properly equipped at the time of the test. The department will then insist that it be kept se, and actugl in- spections will be made at short ipter- vals. The safety of passengers of public service cars and of the public in gen- eral requires that jitney drivers and blic service motor vehicle operators held to striet accountability fer their equipment, MEYER COHEN HOME FROM ST A.
