James f. Owen. county engineer for
Essex county, has suggested to the officers
| OF the Associated Automobile Clubs OF New
Jersey that the road tests to be conducted
by the organization could be held In July
| to the best advantage. Mr.. Owen says the
roads are most likely to be thoroughly dry
during July and therefore that Is the best
| time to determine Just what effect the
pneumatic tires of automobiles have on
the surfaces Of the macadamized highways.
Another reason advanced for holding the
| tests In July Is that the light will be good
for taking the numerous photographs Of
the amount of dust raised by the tires Of
the cars as they travel over the measured
stretch at the different speeds fxed for
the trials. II In expected that the dates
will be definitely hxed at a meeting to-mor-
row night at the New Jersey Automobile
and Motor Club in Newark.
