State Motor Vehicle Commissioner
Walter Dent Smith asked motor We
hicle owners to bear in mind that
they should not come to the safety
lanes for inspection unless they

card sent them by the department.
Mr.. Smith said no car unless the

Last week they were mailed out to
some 5000 car owners throughout
the State. He asked any car owner
who failed to receive this notice to
communicate at once with the De-
partment so that the oversight could
be corrected.
Several other ways in which the
owners could cooperate we're given
by the Commissioner as follows:
Every driver must have with him
his operators or chauffeur's license
and registration card.
Every driver should have his 1884
sticker removed from his windshield
and when given the 1885 sticker af-
ter completing his inspection at the
safety lane should Immediately at
tach it to his windshield.
Every driver should have his car
oVerhauled for all possible defects
before visiting the lanes for inspec-
tion in order to save not only the
time of the lane crew but also their
own.
For the first time in the history Of
the campaigns, which are conducted
under the auspices of the Motor Ye-
hiele Department, the State High
way Department and the Delaware
Safety Council, a regular employee
Of the Motor Vehicle Department
viii be IN charge Of each lane. he
will be attired ID uniform and will
keep all records pertaining to the in

on the back. All have been given a
thorough schooling in this work and
over sixty per cent of them are ex-
perieneed, having worked IN preYi-
GUS campaigns.
