Robertson, secretary of the Ontario Motor League, was the speaker at the meeting of the Ki- wanis Club in the Frontenac hotel on. Monday at noon, taking up the ques- tion of the expense of highway con- struction and maintenance and showing the great part that the mot orists took in sharing the expense. Mr. Robertson's address was brief but te the point and the information he had to impart was very interest- ing. The speaker was introducéd by T. M. Asselstine, president of the Kingston branch of the Ontario Mot- or League, who stated that Mr. Rob- ertson was the greatest specialist in organized motorism that there was to-day in this province. Mr, Robertson stated that while coming to Kingston that he had come across & section of road be- tween Port Hope and Cobourg and noticed that there was a large crack in the road runaning lengthwise in the road. Many had believed that this had been the result of a flaw in the construction but later in Belle- {| ville, Mr. Robertson learned that this was placed im the road by the en- gineers on purpose to prevent lateral cracks in the road and thus save a great deal of money. Highway construction has been carried on in a big way, Mr. Robert son said. The highway work was beiug carried on in such a manner that he believed that there would be fewer detours for the motorist to encounter this year than in any other year. This work had cost a great deal of money. The Ontario Motor League has devoted a great deal of attention to the construction of highways, and recently took a fix- ed position on the gas tax question and advocated a reduction in thé annual license fee if such a tax were to be imposed. The speaker stated that there had been an expenditure of forty-five millions of dollars by the govern- ment in the last eight years on road- way work. Over and against this was a charge of twenty per cent. for con- struction, a grant from the federal government of six millions, a por- tion charged urban municipalities of three millions. There was left twenty-seven millions included in this valuable material assets of two million dollars. This meant a net amount of twenty-five millions. This was not all om comstruction, how- ever, and five millions were allowed for maintenance, leaving twenty millions on constriction work. When the license fees of motorists since 1917 was totalled it was found that the sum of twenty-one and a quar- ter millions had been paid in, So far as construction was concerned, the motorists' fees exceeded the out- lay. Besides the highway, there are county roadd to which the govern- ment gives grants. . The speaker stated that the peak of road construction was passed sev- eral years ago. Prior to 1920 the costs on provinéial highways was four millions; 1921, eight millions; 1922, ten millions; 1923, eight mil- lions and 1924, five millions. Last year the motor license revenue came ¢lose to the 1924 amount, being four and three-quarter millions. Mr. Robertson /eontended that even with- out the on gas, the motorist was paying a big share of the cost and for that reason the Motor League took the stand on the gas tax ques. ton. A hearty vote of thanks was mov- ed to the speaker by Kiwanian R, H. Fair and seconded by Kiwanian Charlie Taylor. ' In addition to the members of the Kiwanis Club, several Rotarians and pfecials of the Kingston Motor Lea- gue were in attendance. "Y" MEN'S .CLUB. | Invites Ottawa and Belleville Clubs to Come Here, At the meeting of the Y's Men's Club held at the Y.M.C.A. on Mon- day evening, it was decided to ask the members of the Ottawa and the Belleville clubs to be the guests of the Kingston club on Monday even- ing, May 36th, A committee was ap- poigted to work out the details in connection with the visit, Final arrangements were made for the visit of members of the club to Wilton on Sunday afternoon, May PICTURE AT THE OAPITOL "The Snob" diated by Ca- pacity Audience Monday Night--Holds Great Lesson. A packed house greeted the open. | ing performance of "The Snob" at the Capitol Theatre on Monday night and judging from the enthus- fasm displayed by the audience dur- ing the screening of the story, it made an impression such as only ex- traordinary pictures can. The fam- ous "true to lite" story of "The Snob" 1s one that has force and power behind, holding a lesson for the social aspirant in particular and everybody In general. It is one of the best 6f Helen R, Martin's stories and with a star cast, featuring Conrad Nagel, whose ability is being, ap- preclated more and more every time he appears in a screen story, by movie audiences, Jack Gilbert, whose successes in past productions has shown his power of acting, and Norma Shearer, fast becoming one of the. foremost stars of screendom. The story holds a great moral be- hind it and is as true to life as one could demand, It depicts in no un- certain way how some people will go out of their way to attain the favor of those whom they believe to be in a better social or financial position than themselves and to what extent these "climbers" will try to lead others to recognize in them a certain quality or right to standing because of some ability of their own. The story as told in "The Snob™ tells how* § young budding professor, striving for social stand- ing with those whom he believes to be superior to himself, turns fyom the home folks that have red him and made it possible fof him to achieve the success that he has gain- ed, and how he tries to impress thoses with whom he comes in contact, of the importance of his own position and standing, He does not know, however, that the very ones whom he is trying to make believe that he is a superior sort of person, are really people of very great wealth and position, and look with con- tempt upon his actions in trying to attain his ends, To what extent the young man carries his conceit and foqlishness, is told in "The Snob" in such a way that it carries with it a lesson. In addition to this splendid fea- ture, which is in fact, one of the best that has been shown at the Capitol in weeks, the management offers features which go to make up an excellent programme. The comedy is one of the funniest that has been shown in a long time and the aud- fence last night were kept in high merriment throughout its showing. The same bill will be shown at the Capitol to-day and for the last time on Wednesday. Senn IMPERIAL OIL WORKERS PARTNERS OF THE FIRM Large Amount of Stook Dis- tributed Under the Oo- Operative Plan.
