Roe, announced that, after talking with Van Norde, he had asked State Senator Anthony Grossi to help set up such a meeting. Van Norde's letter said the chamber had some proposals to make to relieve the situation, but it did not elaborate. In a press release dated for publication today, the Division of Motor Vehicles announced construction of a fourth inspection lane at the Wayne station would start in a few days and would be finished in three weeks.

That, however, appeared to be in error.

Inspector George Richardson, at the Wayne station, said the capacity olstacking lanes had not yet been doubled, but that the work was in the planning stage. Present capacity is 125 cars, he said. At various times, since the new station opened last November 1, the number of cars waiting to get into the inspection lines has been so great that the line backed up onto the shoulder of westbound Route 46.

They have also said they do not have jurisdiction outside the station. The first jam came a few days after the station opened. At that time, inspection officials said if the situation did not improve, the division would consider widening roads within the station to provide more space for waiting cars. Van Norde's letter said the situation -was dangerous, caused business loss and was a blot cm Waynes reputation. It added that the motor vehicle division ought to be anxious to make the station an asset to the community.
