A "palefrenier" is a lad, a stable-boy, somebody taking care of horses : feeding, washing, brushing, changing the litter... Back to your "Inspecteur de la Publicite des Chemins", it might be someone in charge of controlling advertising on roadsides : authorization, location, size of boards, content...

My dictionary defines it as a groom, but in this death record I'm looking at, it's used as a profession. I've looked on-line and it appears to has something to do with horses.
