OSHAWA MOTOR CLUB HELD ITS ANNUAL MEETING (Continued from page 1) keen interest in the proceedings, and showed confidence in the fu- ture of the Oshawa Motor Club. In his opening remarks, the president referred to the fact that the club had been organized only a year ago, and that it now had 186 members. In view of local cdfidi- tions, he felt this was a goodishow- ing, and he was confident that when conditions were more fav- orable, this membership would be greatly increased. The Secretary, made a brief reporf on the activi- ties carried on in the local office, citing several types of assistange given to hoth local and visting mo- torists. He presented the financial statement, showing that, after pay- ing $450 to the Chamber of Com- merce in recognition of its assist- ance to the club, there was a bal- ance of $93.31, | Officers Wlected The election of officers resulted as follows: President--C, E, McTavish, 1st -Vice-president--J.

G. Burns, B. J. Brown, Walter Chapman, A, L. Tosland, Interesting Pro Major George King, rig Kings- ville. president of the Ontario Mo- tor League, gave an interesting and instructive address on the work of the League, which, he sald, might almost be classed as a charitable organization in view 'of Leon Frazer, 'the great value of the services it rendered to its members for small fee. "I do not know How soon, but one of these days," he said, "the Ontario Motor League will be in the automobile insurance business, The League is studying the ques- tion, particularly in the last two or three years, and while we have not yet. come to any particular con clusion, save that compulsory in- surance is nol advisable, we are still working on the subject." Speed Limits Expressing his own personal | views, Major King said he favored | the abolition of the maximum speed limit. That theory, was based on the fact accidents were caused b; ing. "I claim," he satd, ..at if a man is driving from 50 to 65 miles an hour, and has to keep | looking in his or to see if a police officer 1s nglgind him, the chances of accident Are greatly in- creased. The speaker wished the Oshawa Club every success, and expressed the hope that it would, in the near future, reach its objective of 500 members. . M. Gilbert, in a neat expressed the thanks of the speech, gather- ing to Major King for his address | He was followed by B. Ross Mc- Kenzie, president of the Essex County Motors Club, who brought Lhe greetings of that Club to the Oshawa members, License Fees Discussed The subject of discrepancies in the license fees for automobiles was brought before the meeting by J. N. Wilson, and as a result of the discussion which followed, a resolution was passed, asking the Ontario Motor League to memor- ialize the government with a view to having a nominal uniform rate for license fees instituted. The discussion centred largely on ue unfairness of the present system of fixing the fees on a horsepower basis, specific cases being cited to show that under this system light and low-priced cars had to pay twice as high a fee as' cars much heavier and more expensive, Stress was also laid 'on the fact that the gasoline tax provided for an equit- able basis of contribution to high way costs, and that therefore, an uniform license fee would be fair to all motorists. On the passing of this resolu- tion, the meeting was adjourned. o said, | few | wed- | OPPOSES ENFORCED AUTO INSURANCE (Continued from from page 1) |in effect, and a substitute for this | frequently proposed measure he re- commends a plan operative in.15 {of the United States whereby ev- ery motorist is deemed a careful driver until he is involved in an accident, After such accident, however, or after certain court ac- tions involving motor vehicles, the motorist is required to post guarantee of financial responsibil- ity before gutomatic suspension of his licenses may be revoked. "Acquisition of knowledge which must be the basis of intelligent re- gulation," is urged by the report, whieh recommends compulsion of reporting accidents, collection and analysis of accident and traffic sta- tistics, and study of accidents, tfon 1s based upon the operating record of individual motorists. Persons responsible for minor ac- cidents or guilty of less serious offences are classified in class "A" persons responsible for more seri- ous accidents or guilty of more serious offences, are classified in class *""B," and persons responsi- ble for the most serious accidents and guilty of the major offences are classified fn class "C." Class "A carries a demerit rating of 10 per cent.; class "B" 'a demerit rating of 25 per cent. and class "C" a demerit rating of 50 per cent. This means that persons so classified must pay from 10 to 50 per cent, in excess of the standard rate for automobile insurance for at least a year after being so clas- sified. A clear record for 12 monihs will automatically drop a classi- fied person from a higher to a lower class, or, if in class "A" eli- minate him from classification. Similarly, an offence which so clas- sified will automatically raise his classification, for example, from class *"B" to class "C." The names of all persons so classified must he published within one week in the Ontario, Gazette. Adequate provi- sion is made for enforcing the pro- visions of this section and assur- ing that the insurance eompanies will collect the surcharge rate.
