Belleville, May 19.--Boys, it is alleged, playing with matches were responsible for the destruction of a large barn and garage, the property of Mr. A. J. Huff, of this city, Only good work on the part of the fire- men prevented the fire from igniting buildings adjacent. The loss amounts to several hundred dollars. At the annual meeting of the Kingston Motor League held in the Board of Trade rooms on Monday evening, T. M. Asselstine, the ener- getic president of the club, was re- elected to that office for another year. Mr. Asselstine, who has been president of the league for the past three years, stated that he thought it time for some other person to take over the duties, but the meeting would not hear of him dropping the reins of office. James A. Minnes, who was elected vice-president, spoke of the valuable service which Mr. Asselstine had rendered the club during the time that he had filled the office." . The officers elected "were: Homor- ary president, J. M. Hughes; vice- president, James A. Minnes; secre- tary-treasurer, H. D. Wightman; board of directors, C. 8. Anglin, W. F. Gourdier, Leman A. Guild, W. Y. Mills, H. C. Nickle, A. Vanluven, Captain Vokes and T. H. Sargent; auditors, E. O. Sliter and J. F. Row- land. H. D. Wightman, secretary-trea- surer of the club, reported that the total revenue during the year was $786.32, with expenditures of $763.- 58, leaving a small balance on hand. President's Report. T. M. Asselstine, president, gave a very interesting report of the work which the club had accom- plished during the year. He spoke of the emergency road service in de- tail, and told of how well {it had worked out in the centres where it had been adopted. He also referred to the three cent gas tax which the government had put into force and told of in other provinces where the tax was being operated, that the an- nual motor licenses were not so dear as they are in the province of Onta- rio. When dealing with the question of the road signs, Mr. Asselstine stated that he thought the road sign committee which did such good work a few years ago in marking all the reads in the county, should get busy again as some of the signs have been destroyed while others needed to be repainted. Several motorists have drawn the attention of the club to the question of placing a sign on Barriefleld hill to warn the travelling public about the sharp turn in the road. He stated that for years there had been a sign on the hill but the road builders had torn it down., When the matter was brought to the attention of the Highway Department by the King- ston club, they were informed that the department would attend to the matter. He sald he understodd that the firm of 8. Anglin & Co. had been given the contract to make a sign for this place. The presidedt said he was glad to know that the city council had de- cided to adopt some of the sugges- tions which had been made by the club executive. Among the sugges- tions was the question of getting stop and go signals and the council had ordered them. Local Motor Camp. Mr. Asselstine dealt at consider- able length with the motor camp at the fair grounds which had been do- ing duty for the past few years. He stated that he was satisfied that the camp grounds were very unsatisfac- tory and the tourists would not stop in such a place. He spoke from ex- perience, as he had visited the fair grounds a number of times, and saw tourists, after looking over the grounds, going to Gananoque and other points. The president said that he had visited many motor camps in western Canada last year, and he had come home saticfied that the Kingston camp was a disgrace. He said the sanitary arrangements are very poor. Mr. Asselstine said that the tourists were a great thing for the city, and they should be en- couraged to stay in Kingston over- night. Mr. Asselstine stated that during the year the members of the club had entertained the children of St. Mary's-of-the-Lake and the Orphans' Home to a joint picnic which was asked to take part in the event. Thursday evening, which was the last day of the celebration the par- ades of the different evenings would be massed Into one grand event whieh would long be remembered. Mr. Asselstine said that the re- union committee would like very much if a pageant or some event of that kind could be staged each day at the celebration. The executive had discussed several schemes, but had not been able to reacly any deci- sion as yet. The president said that | he thought it would be fy very fine | thing if some style of a parade could | be staged when the different means | of transportation during the past | one hundred years would be exhibit- ed. In closing his report, the presi- | dent said that in connection with the | reunion celebration he thought it} would be very nice if all the auto- mobiles which were driven on the streets during the celebration were | decorated. FRORENRERRE EERE, S-- To Pick Better Site. The question of the motor camp | was then considered and every per-; son present expressed the view that | the present location is very unsuit- | able. On a motion which was unani- | mously carried, it was decided that a committee composed of James Minnes, H. C. Nickle and Russell Derry would take up the question of more suitable location, and report | back to the executive at once so that | action toward getting the new camp | could be decided upon, and location of same be announced in the motor guide which is going to press in two weeks! time. Lake Ontario Park and Barriefleld commons were sug- gested. The club members want a camp located near the water shore if possible. Elmer Davis told of some of the motor camps which he had visited and made reference to the excellent one at Huntsville. The president stated that Edward Anderson, the former owner of Heathfield, located on the main pro- | vincial highway, had offered the use of his property for a camp but he had since sold that property. On motion of J. F. Rowland and E. O. Sliter, the club endorsed the action which the executive had taken in connection with the plan for the Old Boys' reunion. -- About Princess Street.' After Mr. Robertson had complet- ed his address, A, Vanluven, one of the members of the executive, stat- ed that he was opposed to the new by-law which had been suggested by the ef of police, which called upon the "drivers of motor vehicles to stop before entering upon Prin- cess street. He sald that to his mind the suggestion was very un- usual unless there was a trafic] officer to operate the stop-and-go sig- nals at all the Intersections. Several other members agreed with Mr. |! Vanluven, who moved a resolution to the effect that the Kingston motor club was opposed to the by-law un- less there was a traffic officer sta- tioned at each corner. The resolu- tion was unanimously carried. A resolution was also moved and carried and will, with the other re- solution, be passed on to the city council to the effect that complete left turns be prohibited on Princess between Wellington and Division [jE streets. William Anderson stated that he thought the street cars should stop on the near side of the streets in-|g stead of where they had been stop- ping for years. Before the meeting was brought to a close, the president asked for | ten of the members to volunteer to | drive the delegates who are attend- ing the annual meeting of the Navy League of Canada to the Royal Mili- tary College on Tuesday afternoon. |S A sufficient number of cars were of- fered in quick order. = Some of the members suggested IN that there be meetings of the league RETR FERRER 'held oftener during the year. The 2 president said that the officers ap- |. Preciated the suggestion.and that a meeting would be called in the very Dear future to complete arrange- [i ments for the Old Boys' reunion pa- || roy = very much appreciated by the chil- rad dren. 4 The Board of Directors had de- cided to bring two professional can- vassers to the city, and they would FLEE Hi a 2d § i £ i : | ------ The barns of G.
