Fourteen per cent of the pri
vate passenger cars given brake
checks by police officers during
the national brake check pro
gram in Oregon were reported
with inadequate brakes, accord
ing to the final campaign. Ore
gon’s participation in the nation
al program was headed by Chief
Harry M. Niles, of Portland, as
coordinator. The office of Robert
S. Farrell, secretary of state, serv
ed as field agent for the program.
Police officers in Oregon cities
cheeked a total of 7,963 private
passenger cars during the cam
paign, April 15 to June 1. Of that
I number, 1,105 or 14 per cent were
found to be inadequate. These fig
j ures do not include brakes cheek
ed by state police, whose report
is not yet completed.
The brake check program was
sponsored by the International
Association of Chiefs of Police for
the purpose of emphasizing the
importance of motor vehicle
maintenance in the interests of ac
tenanee in the interests of acci-
cident prevention and vehicle con
servation.
Oregon’s situation is on a par
with the national average, accord
ing to incomplete reports from
national headquarters of the pro
gram. At the end of the first five
weeks of the program, 13.9 per
cent of the cars checked were
found to have inadequate brakes,
compared to the figure of 14 per
cent for Oregon. In many states
however, the percentage of in
adequate brakes was consider
ably higher. Oklahoma, for exam
ple, reported 23.7 per cent inade
quate and Alabama and Colorado
reported virtually the same fig
ure.
(
Traffic enforcement officials
hope the campaign will result in
making motorists conscious of the
importance of periodic checks on
automotive equipment to assure
good operating conditions during
wartime, Chief Niles said.
