cars do not present them for inc spection, they will Do called to ace count by inspectors from the state department and required to bring their cars il1 or suffer the suspen. sion penalty to which they are sub- ject by law. Mir. Lumpkin said that he had not yet received orders rec garding the closing date of the sta- ton from Commissioner Michael A. Connor of the motor vehicle dee partment. The inference is that the local lane will remain open until virtually ell of the motor vehicles registered in the Waterbury area have been inspected.
 Second Rush Over
 Most of the cars in Waterbury and vicinity have been given the first inspection, he said, and the department Is now chiefly inter. ested in bringing into line those who have not appeared for the second check, The drive this week In which hundreds were halted by inspectors and Waterbury police because their cars did not bear stickers, is be- lieved to have had the desired efs feet. Although definite figures are not available 1t Is estimated that more than 500 cars were brought to the station for the first time this week as the result of the "crack down" by the state department, Two hundred and twenty.four driv- CTS were given the first inspection during Thursday alone.
 Had Choice
 Drivers were given sun1monses requiring them to either present their cars for the inspection or to turn in their license plates to Hart. ford. Virtually oil chose the former alternative.
