The Automobile Club OF America prob
ably will have women members soon. be-
cause a meeting is to he held at the club
on Tuesday next at which an amendment
to the constitution providing for women
to have the privileges Of the organization
will be voted on. This has been under
cons Iteration for some time by the board
of governors. and In considered sure to go
through. II will have the result OF max
ing the club vastly more popular and use
full. At present women may be enrolled
MS members OF the bureau OF tours on
the payment of the fee which Ia required
but they have no other rights than those
of getting touring information and the
like.
Another thing that Is coming up for the
attention of the club members Is the mat
ter of additional garage room. The garage
in the present quarters. on Fifty fourth
street. west Of broadway. accommodates
about 700 cars. The highest number ac-
tually taken care of at one time Is SIC
machines. but there are more than that
number for which accommodation Ia
needed. Therefore the club has to look
for additional garage room. and rs the
present building Is conveniently located
on the West side 1t has been determined
TO get place on the East Side. Nego-
tiations are being conducted by Pease 4
Gilman for "A large plot on East Seventy

few days yet This garage is to be big
enough to accommodate $50 cars.
There has been some talk OF a combined
club and garage on the East Side. but
that Ia not the present plan. There was
| time when II was proposed to lease
building on Fifth avenue to establish a
social club. hut that appears to have been
given up. The club had negotiations on
with the Fifth Avenue Coach Company
for its garage In Eighty ninth street. but
IL was not large enough for the A. c. A.
purposes.
