The affairs of the Texas State Auto
mobile association, a branch Of the
American Automobile association, is re-
ported by State Secretary Robert W.
Carr of San Antonio to be in a most
Furnishing condition. 1t is expected
soon 20 assume a most important place
in the affairs of motordOm in Texas.
I'VE are very much encouraged over
the outlook, said secretary Carr. The
city clubs all over the state are show
ing a keen interest in the organize
ton and are beginning 10 realize the
necessity of state affiIiation with the
National body.
The fact that the dues of the indi-
vidual members are not increased by
this affiliation, while their recognition
everywhere IS assured. has an addi-
tional attraction. and this is lending
impetus to the movement
Texas is a comparatively new entry
into the National body, but il is a most
promising one. Twelve clubs are in the
fold and more are coming in all the
time"
The interest in automobiling is re-
sulting in better roads all over Texas
Owners of autos are generally men of
influence and of means and their word
Is having weight with the commission
ers courts
Previous TO the introduction of the
automobile very few city people ex-
cept the merchant depending on the
country trade and the man buying the
products of the farm. has little interest
in country road. All the city man cared
for was good streets If he drove about
on Sunday or any other day there was
plenty OF streets TO make it pleasant
Now It is different. He wants to
take long auto rides and as a result
is using his influence towards better
roads. and it is having very good
effect.
