Inspectors Praised.
Leonard Burch, chairman Of the
board, praised the work of tire in
spection stations throughout the
county. He said the low percentage
of applications denied by the board
was to be explained in large part
by the fact that the inspection sta

purchasers. An applicant must have
his need for new tires certified by an
inspection station before presenting
his case to the board.
