VOLUNTARY BIKE
 INSPECTION SET
Highway Safety COmmis- sion Considering Advis.
 ability of Plan

The advisability of a statewide voluntary inspection and registra. tion of bicycles is under considera- tton by special committee includ- ing members of the Highway Safety Commission.
 Under the sponsorship of The Waterbury Democrat, more than 300 bicycles were inspected here in five days during September, and merit cards were presented to the owners of the bicycles which passed the inspection. Members of the Water bury Police Department assisted in the local inspection which attracted much interest.
 Appointment of the committee by the Highway Safety Commission was brought about by the opinion that the increasing use of bicycles makes the whole question of safety to the users of primary importance The commission seeks means to bring about care in operation when on the highways, and the proper upkeep of safety equipment.
 Several other Safety-conscious newspapers throughout the state have sponsored bicycle safety tests. All became bicycle-minded after the 1887 General Assembly, seeking tc minimize bicycle accidents, passed several laws relating to them. Among these are the one govern. ing the use of headlights and rear retlectors, and prohibiting the carry ing of a passenger on @ bicycle built for one person.
 Youthful owners of bicycles have cooperated spiritedly in all the voluntary inspections. In othez portions of the state the records made during an inspection have been of assistance in recovering stolen bicycles.
 The study committee includes Dr James L. McConaughy, president of Wesleyan university; Mayor Edward G. Moran of Norwich; and G. Dal- las Newton, Casualty Agency assist ant, Travellers Insurance company. They will work with Chairman Samuel H. Fisher and Frances c Murphy, general manager of Ths Hartford Times, which newspaper introduced the idea of bicycle in. spection.
