June 30th Last Day For
Vehicle Inspection

There has been a lot of COM
ment within the past few weeks
about the possibility of extend
ing the inspection period under
the new Motor Vehicle Inspec-
ton Law. In discussing this
possibility with r. l.. Morgan,
Director of Motor Vehicle In
spection he stated, 1--WE do not
plan to have any extension of
the deadline. The public has
had ample time, although there
are still many Mississippians
who have not complied. There
are only a few days left and
unless many people attend TO
this promptly they will not have
their cars inspected on time"
He continued, ''The inspection
has gore very we'll up to this
point but many drivers will find
themselves without inspection
stickers if tn y don't submit
their cars soon. Beginning the
first of July officers start en-
forcing the inspection law. The
absence of a sticker will make
the driver of a vehicle using
Mississippi's roads and high
wavs liable to a fine of up to
$4,000 or up to six months in
jail or both"
Commissioner of Public Safe
ty T. B Birdsong was asked
about the inspection deadline
being extended and he replied,
"There has been sufficient no.
tice made to the public. There
has also been plenty of time
allowed for everyone to COM
ply with this law and have
their vehicles inspected. There
will not be any extension of the
inspection period under the
Motor Vehicle Inspection Law"
