Almost Half of Cars Checked Found To Have Minor Mechanical Defects About 40 per cent of cars in- spected have been found to have minor mechanical defects in Ontario's new program of com- pulsory vehicle checks. Hon. Irwin Haskett, Ontario Minister of Transport, said that 1,162 vehicles were given a 38 - point mechanical inspection in the first four days of the pro- gram. The first check points were on Highway 7 west of Perth and Highway 5 west of Cooksville. A total of 658 vehicles, or 56.6 per cent, were given `approved.' stickers for passing all parts of the inspection. Another 158 vehicles were re -checked and ,approved by the end of the four-day period, Most of the 43.4 per tent that failed the initial inspection had minor defects, such as head- lights improperly adjusted, Mr. Haskett said. The drivers of rejected vehicles are instructed to have the defects corrected. Ontario Provincial Police re- moved the plates from two cars, one at each location and laid charges as unsafe vehicles. Two other charges were laid under vehicle insurance laws. The compulsory inspections are being done in various parts of the province, with the de- partment of transport moving its mobile safety -check lanes to new locations every few days in to -operation with the OPP. Mr. Hasket notedtwo side- lights of the inspection: -There was very little incon- venience to motorists. The comprehensive 38 -point check averaged less than eight minutes per vehicle, and OPP officers controlled the number stopped for the checks so that waits were rare. —Many motorists drove to the weigh -scale check points :to volunteer for inspections .and, where possible, OPP officers adjusted the flow of compul- sory checks in •order to ac- commodate them. The department of transport has six other mobile safety - check units that ere still pro - v i d in g voluntary inspections throughout the province, in co- operation with community groups. 0 Bayfield Council Assured Of Summer Police BAYFIELD — At the regular meeting of Bayfield council last Monday, a report from the road superintendent, John Lindsay, showed that repairs to steps and approaches to the beach at Pioneer Park, Delevan Street and Howard Street, have re- ceived attention, and toilet fa- cilities on the beach are being renovated.
