thought the recommendations
as to the assessments one-sided,
and that other. members of the

also thought that too much

Mr.. Hyatt said that he did
not think that very n1uch mon

would not a pay a cent and the
little that would be raised
would be quickly spent in edu-
eating the farmers and in keep

prices. He would like to see a
farmers paper established and
a warehouse in every county.
Mr.. .Ellerbe thought that the
farmers would never sign a

cents on each bale.

Norris, president of the Automobile Club of
America which they deny that the village police
in any way profted by fines fees collected from
any arrests made last summer. The letter Is signed
by z. L. Hopkins. President of the Village of
Larchmont. who assures the motor car owners Of
his friendly attitude toward them by admitting that
he owns 4 touring himself
Mr.. Hopkins says Larchmont desires not only to
tolerate automobilists. but welcomes them to the
village and 10 the Larchmont Yacht Club. BY way
OF calming their fears he says further that the
village has no ordinances which will hamper them
in any way but depends wholly on the State law to
protect the public against 'scorching." All fines
