INSPECTION STATIONS MUST BE APPROVED LINCOLN, March 5 (UP) State Engineer A. C. Tilley recommended today that approved municipal in spections in the campaign against unsafe automobiles must have equip ment capable of testing all 'legal size" vehicles. Private garages, desiring to qualify as official inspection stations, will be required to use legal brake testing and other equipment capable of testing vehicles up to a maximum of 6,000 pounds. Tilley said this limit would include all except the heaviest trucks and busses. The state engineer said municipal ly erected stations must be able to test all types of vehicles because the new law requires car owners residing within a municipality which has an approved testing station to have their machines tested at the muni cipal station. Tilley said the mechanical safety inspection drive would be delayed until April because only three firms can supply the required testing equip- ment. Want ads sell all kino's of odd household goods.
