vehicles, submitted his annual reierr
to Governor Fort today, for transmits
sion to the Legislature. 1t shows that

lions and $3.50 for flnes-was turned

In Newark there we're z, 1855 registra-
tions and 3,241 licenses were granted,
with an income of $12,077.55.
Commenting upon the fact that the
Legislature of last year failed to adopt
the recommendations by the depart
ment, Commissioner Smith avs
"In failing to adopt those sugges-
lions the Legislature undoubtedly pur-
sued a wise course. While the exp
rience of last year has not served TO
change materially the departments
views as expressed in the former re-
port, but rather to strengthen and in
tensify them, it taught us much more
clearly than it then appeared ti'at
neither the motoring nor the non
motoring public are yet anywhere near
ly able to agree, either among them
selves or with each other, regarding
what should constitute wise and equita
BILE legislation
Some other points in the report arr:
That New Jersey automobile laws are
superior to those of other States and
countries; that larger license fees
should be paid; thai there. should be
more inspectors and better Identifying
devices on automobiles.

The inventor. Mr.. Strang, was dis
appointed over the fact that the fog
made necessary the reduced speed. He
expected, he said, to make the trip at
between fifty-five and sixty-five miles
an hour. The all-steel car, weighing
fifty seven tons. was propelled by a
gasoline engine operating an S5-kilo-
watt dynamo, which not only provided
motive power TO the wheels but also
generated current for a storage battery
used in starting the car, and, in case of
emergency, enough energy being held In
storage to drive the car nineteen miles
at fifteen miles an hour
The car. a new one, made at the
works of the Strang Gas-Electric Com
pany. at Greenwood, N. j., is designed
for use in electric suburban traffic,
where all night service is required and
the entire equipment is kept electrified
for only a few cars. The car consumes
only six-tenths of a gallon of gasoline
a mile. and its cost of operation is
said to be low.

that a mile a minute can be maintained
after the car gets its pace. The run
from New York to Philadelphia was

passed through Newark at 1888, arriv-
ing at Philadelphia at 4:07.,
Between Monmouth Junction and
