I cannot see the advantage of each state duplicating the task of keeping track of violators, inspections and testing, while it could be done much more uniformally from a central point.... . . . . . I am not a big-government advocate. But I do think that a system that is naturally uniform could be better run in a centralized way. It just doesn't seem reasonable to do a job 50 times in 50 different ways when it could be done right once. Dave Anderson 201-949-5552 ---------- Arrgh!! NEVER!
