AUTOS IN NEW JERSEY.
Freeholders, After Ride, Inclined to
Raise Speed Limit.

NEWARK, y. j., Aug. 1I.-At din
tee of the Essex county board of free
holders by the Automobile Club OF New
Jersey at POmptOn Plains nearly every
member of that board went on record
as favoring the granting of a speed Of
twenty niles an hour to automobiles
outside the limits OF the city Some
were outspoken in their favor of grant
ing a speed of thirty miles. while the
most conservative ones would agree to
limit Of only twenty, with a possible
addition of five miles il thought proper.
The trip TO Pomp;on Plains was made
in automobiles. the members of the
board OF freeholders agreeing TO put on
all speed. In fact. several of them sug-
gested faster speed. remarking that il
was no fun riding slowly.
In speaking OF the matter w. J. Stew
art. secretary of the New Jersey Auto
mobile Club. said that it was the pur-
pose Of the club to clearly demonstrate
the mechanism of the automobile to the
board of freeholders and to show them
the exact extent to which the machine
could be controlled.
The board" he went on, lis about
to pass an ordinance regulating the
speed of the vihicIe. and the fifteen-mile
limit outside Of the boundaries Of the
city is too slow We are willing TO
abide by the allowance of eight miles
an hour in towns but can see no reason.
as we have the machine absolutely un-
der control why more speed should not
be allowed on the country roadway. IS
pecially when the fact is taken into
consideration that you can stop an au-
tomoble going at its highest rate of
speed within its own length. which is
quicker than you can pull up a horse
going at the rate of ten miles an hour"
