 In organizing the Connecticut di- vision the eight counties have been divided into five districts, each of which will be entitled to a number of representatives proportionate to the list of league members enrolled within the district. State boards have been appointed in thirty-six other states and over 1900 accept ances have been received from prom inent motorists who will act as mem bers of the state boards in their re- spective states. The work of the league has been one of patient and steady recruiting and the member ship has now reached a point which makes both possible and necessary the details of the organization work originally laid out. Each state di vision will have its own executive officers and state board through which the affairs of the division will be directed. The state boards will elect delegates to the national as- sembly and the national assembly will elect officers of the national body and prescribe rules from time to time for it's government.
 The A. M. L. is distinctly opposed to road racing and to the speeding of motor cars on the public high ways. Its energies will be entirely directed to the securing of better laws, better roads and better treat ment for those automobilists who now suffer for the sins of few reck- less offenders. The Connecticut di- vision will have twelve delegates to the first national assembly of the American Motor league at its next annual meeting.
