FALL INSPECTION OF
VA. MOTOR VEHICLES

The annual Fall inspection of motor
vehicles in the state of Virginia be-
gan on Tuesday and will continue
throughout the month.
The inspection does not vary from
that of previous years except in two
respects. The inspection includes
lights, horn, brakes, glasses and wind
shield wiper, signal devices, condition
of front tires, mirror and tag mount
ing. The two innovations in the pro-
gram are that fee of 25c may now
be charged by tn authorized stations
and in the event the vehicle owner
cannot have the necessary corrections
made on date of inspection, he will
be given a rejection sticker which
permits operation for seven days be-
fore penalty will be imposed.
The division of motor vehicles
strongly urges that all vehicle owners
have the inspections made as early in
the month as possible and thus avoid
last-minute confusion and delay.

n. Y, 5. & ". 10 Be Taken
From Erie System
BY the Associated Press,


NEW YORK, Feb. 2e.-New life
for the New York. Susquehanna g.
Western Railroad, which has been
m financial and, operating difficult
ties for some time, was foreseen in
an announcement yesterday it would
be divorced from the Erie Railroad
and be operated with the New York,
Ontario g. Western Railway.
The operating changes were ar
ranged by Walter Kidde, trustee for
the Susquehanna, and Frederic E.
Lyford, trustee for the Ontario line.
Erie recently sued Susquehanna
for $6.983 400. Kidde responded in
Federal Court that these Charges
would not nave been made IL Erie
hadn't been running Susquehanna
for Is years or so, and said that
SuSquehanna not only didn't owe
Erie any such sum, but that Erie
owed Susquehanna $3.50 ,0S3. 1t may
take months, or even years, to set
tie the matter.
Meantime, the Circuit Court of
Appeals in Philadelphia held that
Susquehanna's $4,000, 900 terminal
first mortgage bonds constituted a
first lien on the Edgewater Terminal
used by Erie and a prior lien on Ger
tain parcels Of Little Ferry Yard.
The users of the Susquehanna
Railroad were getting discouraged,
so, to attract new business, Kiddie
installed Diesel-powered, stream
lined cars.
