No Traffic Deaths
In County In Jan.
Patrolman James A. Wright, of
Clifton, Texas Highway Patrolman
assigned to Bosque County, has re-
ported the following Rural Acci-
dent Summary for this county for
the month of January, 1961.
Patrolman Wright investigated
seven rural crashes in Bosque
County. As a result of those seven
crashes one person was injured,
with the combined property da-
mage being $4,406.00. There were
no traffic deaths recorded for the
month.
In comparison, during the month
of January, 1960, Bosque County
reported six rural traffic crashes.
As a result of those crashes, one
person was injured, with the com-
bined property damage being $2,-
185.00. There also were no deaths
from traffic crashes during that
month a year ago.
“Bosque County has begun the
New Year with a good traffic rec-
ord,” Patrolman Wright pointed
out. "Each of you as users of the
highway can keep this good record
by knowing and obeying the traf-
fic laws.”
Get Your Car Inspected
“Help reduce traffic accidents by
keeping your car in good mechani-
cal condition," Captain E. C. Smith
said this week. Captain Smith, Ser-
vice Commander of the Department
of Public Safety’s Motor Vehicle
Inspection Service in the Waco Re-
gion, pointed out that only 30% of
the over 500,000 registered vehicles
:n the 46-county Waco Region had
been inspected on February 1,
“With the April 15 deadline only
a little over two months away, the
inspection stations are going to be
hard-pressed to inspect the remain-
ing vehicles unless people start
having the inspections made now,”
Captain Smith went on to say. “We
always have some bad weather dur-
ing the months of February and
March and our State Approved In-1
spection Stations cannot make the
required inspections when the
weather is too bad. This adds to the
problem of too many drivers wait-1
ing too long before taking their,
car down'to their local inspection
station. Each county has one or
more State Approved Inspection
Stations equipped to make the ne-!
cessary inspection of your lighting I
equipment, brakes, horn, mirror,
and windshield wipers.”
Every year there are always
those few motorists who wait until
the last few days and then are
forced to wait in line when they
take the family car in for the in- j
spection. When this happens, some
unlucky drivers cannot have the
inspection made in time to beat
the April 15 deadline; and, so,
they run the risk of being arrested
for driving with the old inspection
sticker on their windshield.
“It is not only easier on your
nerves, but sometimes it can be
easier on your pocketbook as well,
if you get the sticker now and
avoid the last minute rush,” Cap.
tain Smith concluded.
