Asselstine Re-elected | | President--A Great Deal J of Business Transacted. gine of the King-| ston Autoixobile ¢lub, held in the Board of Tr}de rooms o Monday ev- | ening, T. M. ure; who has been | president of that organization for the| past three years, was re-elected to that | office for the ensuing year, James Al Minnes, in proposing the name of Mr. | Asselstine, stated he was an ideal man for the office as he gave of time and | ability, with the result that the club | had flourished. Mr. Asselstine Is, a very enthusiastic motorist and he al- ways has the interest of the automobile club at heart. James A. Minnes was re-elected vice- president, and H. D. ightman secre- consisting of the following, were re- elected; M. C. Dunn, W. F. Gourdier, Elmer Davis, A. Z. Vanluven, TH Sargent, Dr. C. C. Nash, L, A. Guild and J. M- Hughes. The secretary reported that the club was in a very flourishing condi- tion. During the year the total receipts were $1,149.23 and the expenses $1,- 027.91. A great deal of business was tran- sacted during the evening. The ques- tion of street intersections was con- sidered and the meeting by a unani- mous vote decided to ask the city council to pass a\by-law making Elgin and Chatham fy way streets. The members expressed themselves as be- ing in favor of the city council making Chatham street a one way street as far as Colborne street, or in other words the traffic should all go from Princess street in a northerly direction. The club will also ask the city council to pass a by-law authorizing diagonal | into force on New Year's day. tions, looking after sign boarding, mo- tor camp, picnics for the orphanages, drives for four conventions held in Kingston, co-operated with the publi- city committee of the county in distri. bution of the booklet advertising the tourist attractions of the county and city, and in numerous other ways kept in toych with motoring affairs. «What is by far the most important happening for .us 'this year is the new "Highway Traffic Act" 'which came The provisions of this act were summarized in a'letter I gave to the press on the day the act came into force and the whole act may be said to bé contained in these few words *'Drive slowly and carefully and you will be allowed to drive, drive fast or recklessly and you will not be allowed to drive, nor your car to be driven." : Speed Limits. In the new act the speed limits re- main the same as before, 20 miles per hour in urban centers and 25 Miles in the open country, but the penalties under this section have béen made more severe. 1st offence $5.00 to $50; 2nd, $10 to $100 and suspension of car license for 3 months. 3rd or _subse- "quent offence $20 to $200 and suspen- sion of car license for six months and if car is driven at a speed of 40 miles per hour or over, or ' at any speed whatever or midnner that would be dangerous to the public, having regard to the circumstances, the fine is $10 to $200 and up to 60 days in jail and six months suspension of license. There is a popular impression that the new law permits three offences be- fore imprisonment, but it seems quite clear to me that a jail senténte may follow every offence including the first. There is an additional penalty for third conviction, seizure of the car and its storage for three months at the ex- pense of the owner. But on the first offence the driver may be sent to jail, and it is not necessary that he drive at forty miles an hour in order to be con- victed and sentenced. Any speed which parking on all streets with the excep- tion of those in the limited parking area. . ---- A Dangerous Intersection. The president referred to the fact of the great danger for motorists at the corner of Bagot and Brock streets where they join Clarence. Chief of Police 'Robinson, who wag 'present, when asked what he thought would relieve the danger, said to his mind it needed a policeman, but as he did not have one available for 'the duty, other means 'would have to be adopted. It is likely that the streets will be marked with white paint to show which way the traffic should go, and there is also a possibility that a traffic officer might be appointed to do duty at such places as this during the busy season, It was also decided that the club would run an advertisement in the lo- cal papers drawing motorists' atten- tion to matters of vital interest tosthem as well as the man who does not drive a car. . ---- Motor Camp. The question of a motor camp was discussed, and Dr. C. C. Nash, who was convenor of the motor camp commit- tee last year, reported that two hun. dred and thirty-two tourists had stop- ped at the tourist camp located at the fair grounds last year. It was the feel- ing of the members that the, location of the fair grounds was not an ideal is, under all the circumstances, a dan- gerous one, makes him liable to the jail penalty, A speed. of over forty miles is merely that which the law con- siders dangerous per se, that is, under any circumstances whatever. What. I want to impress upon the motorists is that fast driving of any kind is poten- tially a jail offence. 4 For driving while under the influ- ence of liquor the pehalties have Sen increased to terms ranging from-§even days to one year in jail and suspension of. car. ligense for three months to' two years, Severe Penalties. These are severe penalties, our friends the pedestrians will say they bably agree to that too, that is, for the other fellow. Members of this club are pledged to observe the law. The 'Act is too new to have any case law interpreting the various sections. For instance, a"driver offends with 3 different cars not his own, by driving recklessly, would the third car be im- pounded though it had figured in only one case? Or if the same car were dri- ven by three different persons, all of whom offended, would its owner still retain possession because each of these drivers had only one conviction? by the clause which says that the own- er shall be responsible for any viola- tion of the act unless the car is in pos- one, and for that reason another one will be secured. Two of three locations were suggested and the meeting was informed that the utilities commission was willing to install electric light and 8as 0 be used by the visiting tourists. Dr. Nash also brought before the ng, the Rotary convention which is to be held in Tor- onto this year, and the new coming executive was instructed to co-operate with the Rotary Club in makiag the Rotarians who stop over in Kingston as comfort- advertising able 3s possible, as well as the ay. mes. Criticize County's Action. The club, by an unanimous vote, passed the following resolution: "This club, having learned that the county of Frontenac has made no provision this year for continuing its good roads programme, desire to express regret, as we feel said lack of action to be ini- mical to the best interests of the coun- ly as a whole. "This club having. spent considerable time and money in boosting this coun- ty as "a paradise for tourists,' sending publicity literature to practically every motor club in the States of New York and Michigan, feel that we should dis- continue our activities in this respect until such time as we receive assur- ance that we, can still safely invite our American touring friends to use our roads. "That a copy of this resolution be sent to the warden of the county and to Messrs, Anthony Rankin and W, D. Black, members of the legislature." The President's Report. . T. M. Asselstine presented a very interesting as well as instructive report of the activities of the club "during the year. The report showed that he had given the matter careful consideration, and the matters which he brought be- fore the attention of the members were both interesting and instructive. The report in part is as follows: ¢ are meeting tonight in the room where in 1918 this club was i ed with a-mem £ontinued fo grow ever since until now we have about 250 members. For the annual m session of somcone else without the owner's consent, for "the driver shall also be responsible for such yvjolation." Difficulties of that nature, however, will be met, and decisions of the courts will make the new act workable in the places where now at a first glance it appears to be weak. But the intention of the act I am sure no one can afford to miss, for that is quite clear, to stop, not only speeding, but dangerous driving. Other provisions of the act permit parking light on left side, provide for red light or reflector on bicycles, per- mit spot lights, limits summoning for offences to ten days from time of of- fence, makes it an offence to deposit any glass, nails, tacks, bottles, etc, on roads. In all cases the second and third offences miist be within the same calendar year as the first to count as such. A curious omission from the act is that no provision is made for signall- ing that you are going to stop, or turn to the left, although there have been a number of court decisions that a driver who 'does not do so is negligent and liable for any damages that may accrie from his not doing so. I feel that our club has a duty placed upon it of letting the motoring public know about the changes I have men. tioned, and I wdyld suggest that the incoming directors take gome steps The Best Remedy for Backache So Says Mr. T.

There are a number of local prob- lems which I might mention and which might very well be taken up by the new board. Such as: Establishment of one way streets, such as Chatham, Elgin, Clarence street between Bagot and Wellington streets; Safety device at Tete du Pont Barracks Gate, parking at an angle, light on cars, cutting cor- ners, drivers taking or not taking their right of way, parking on market streets on market days, the right angle turns at junction of Johnson and Nelson- Collingwood streets, lack: of traffic di- rections at junction of Brock, Bago' and Clarence streets, poor parking ar. rangement on Montreal streets, speed- ing .on our paved streets, particularly those where there are no street rail- way rails. There are a number of oth- ers which I cannot just now call to mind which require attention-and ac- tion to bring them to the notice of the proper authorities. ? Gasoline Tax. There is another matter that may be of vital interest to many of us at any time now. I refer to the possibility of a tax upon gasoline. For a number o years past this levy has been mention. ed and istaved off from time to tim. through representations from our lea gue as to the unfairness of selecting the motorists as a class to collect roa revenue from. I feel, however, now tha the province of Quebec has adopter the weight of the car as a basis of th license fee for operating motor vehi cles together with a tax of 2 cents pe gallon on all gas used, and that severa' States have already done away witl the license fee altogether and substitu ted a tax on gasoline, that the motor ists of this province must be prepare for such a change at any time fron now on. To my mind this tax is the only fair tax to impose, a European hotel plan of motoring, you pay ac- cording to the number of miles you travel the roads. If this system should be inaugurated in Ontario, it would seem to be only fair that all users of the roads should also have a tax ap- plied to their usage, so much for each wheel, hoof or otherwise, and I think it would be quite proper when the time comes for our club to make represen~ tations along such. lines. In conclusion I want to say that ur club is an organization of motor- sts by motorists for motorists and feel hat it occupies a distinct place in the 'ommunity composed as it is of men vho have the best motoring ideals, deals of fairness, courtesy, politeness nd helpfulness to the other fellow, feals that make for the sane and safe 1se of our highways and streets and he development of those ideals and 'onduct among our members and hose with whom they come in contact mong our members and those with vhom they come'in contact on the 'oad until the time shall come when notorists shall not look askance at the pedestrian nor the latter at the motor. ist but every class using the streets and highways shall feel that their.res- pective rights are fully protected and their privileges cheerfully and cour. teously accorded.
