CLUBS ACTION PLEASING.
LONG ISLAND AUToNOB1LISTS NAY
ABOLISH ROAD TESTS-SURFkisE
AT TARDY ACTION.

The Auton,obile Club of America was the iir9t
to encourage the sport and pastinle of autoro-
billing in this country. and it is the hrSt OF
ganization to come out earnestly in favor oi
discontinuance of fast speeding in the hlgh"ass'
The action of the club in this respect mas peeh
we'll received. but considerable surprise mas
been expressed at the fact that other autoliooiie
organizations have remained quiet on the sub
iac+ since the fatalities on Staten Island last
Saturday. The pioneer automobile associa'ioi
will not only refuse to sanction ROAD races III
the future but ii is the sentiment among 'he
officials of the club that club members should
not take part in such contests IN the future
either in this district or in any other part of the
country.
The Long Island Automobile Club. which con-
Quoted so successfully the speed trials III ocean
Parkway last year. when Fournier made the
mile record of 81 As seconds. has not as yet
taken any action. but some of the prominent
members are of the opinion that the CLUB VIII
adopt similar resolutions at the next meeting OF
its governors, and place itself on record as op-
posed 10 excessive speeding upon the pubic
highways The fact that the club has already
arranged TO conduct race meet at the brigh-
ton Beach track August 70 would lnolcale
that the club has no idea of having any races IN
the highways this year.
The fact that the American Automophe AS
sociation, a national organization, and the Ma
tional Association Of Automobile Manufacture
ers have taken action has caused surprise
in some quarters. Some of the manufacturers
argue that there is not track built at present
where successful speeding can be done. Inc
average track where horse racing ana tfotLhS
are conducted is not at all suited TO auto
mobile racing. because in the first place. there
is not enough banking at the turns. and they
are too sharp anyway. Those who have given
the racing conditions thorough study belleNe
that the successful automobile track should be
at least two miles in circumference. Some OF
the enthusiasts at present discussing plans
for the purchase of property where Such a track
could be laid out. The races the tracks both
in the East and West up TO date have Illus
trated that running an automobile at full speed
around the sharp curves is not only dangerous
but practically impossible.

TO STOP SPEEDING IN JERSEY.

The Common Council at Summit, N. j., on
Tuesday night began an aggressive fight against
the speeding of automobiles within the city
limits. The ordinance provides only nominal
fire OF 50 for violating the speed limit which is
seven miles hour. motion was adopted to
prepare amendment to the ordinance provid-
ing for a .;ne of 500, thirty days imprisonment
or both, in the discretion of the police justice
for all violations of the ordinance.
Automobiles and all other kinds of self-pro
pelling vehicles using the public streets of New
ark will have to go. through Harrison at slower
rate of speed than formerly, if an ordinance m
troduced at a meeting of the Town Council on
Tuesday passes. This limits the speed of all
ef-propellng vehicles to eight miles hour.
Violation of the measure is to be punished by
fine of SO thirty days in the Hudson County
Jail. The ordinance read twice and ad-
vanced a third reading without opposition.

Just soon the Committee OF FIFTY was

the two organizations have all along been in

The automobiles. and especially the larger and

in which they can be handled. 1t does not matter
