All improvements to the motor camp will be left to this branch of the Tourists' Association, which will be composed of representatives of the clubs which attehded the Thursday night meeting. This ac will have a community motor camp administered by all classes in the city and financed by the City Council. Dr. W. W. Sands was the chair man of the meeting and he outlined briefly the work of the Tourists' As- sociation. It was felt by those pres- ent that a branch in this city could do much to advertise the many happy historical features and scenic beau- ties of this section so as to attract a large volume of the tourist traffic. On the Kingston and District Branch of the Tourist' Association of On- tario will also fall the work of pro- viding proper accommodation. The clubs and associations, which are to appoint representatives to the new committee, will be advised im- mediately and a meeting will be called very shortly, The meeting which took place on Thursday night was to have been held to-night, but was changed on account of the Inter- collegiate hockey match.
