of Orange county, plans to Intro- dues at the opening of the legisla-1 tive session to January. 'These blUs, he states in a com- nvunioation to- the editor of this newspaper, "will require physical ex aminations of all applicants for driver's licenses, and periodic mechanical examinations of all motor vehicles. "With Irresponsible drivers and even more Irresponsible oars and trucks on the roads today, it Is no wonder that driving has become a nerve-shattering experience, tit is high time that we required physical fitness of every driver and mechanical fitness of every oar. Each applicant for a drivers 11' oense should be required to take a physical examination and those who are found unfit to operate a motor vehicle should be rejected. A perfunctory eye test is the only such examination now.

It is equally true that periodic inspections of brakes, head-llgrita. horns, steering wheels and other points of mechanical importance for safe driving, should be required. "Last year to this oountry, 51.110 accidents were due to defective au-' tomobiles. Those cars with danger- out meohanian should be kept off the roads until satisfactory ccrrec tions are made." Senator Desmond wanes mat welcomes advice concerning the pro posed legislation and that further suggestions for highway safety by residents of this district may be forwarded to him at the State Capitol In Albany.
