A. A. A. Ready to Back Venture.

Mr.. Cllman stated that the A. A. A.
stands ready to back such a venture.
and that many of the desired improve
ments in local motoring conditions
could be quickly accomplished. II
representative number of Washington
autoists viii come forward and agree
to take out memberships in an A. A. a.
District of Columbia club.
In our Offices in the Riggs building
is already laid the foundation for the
formation of a District of Columbia
club such as local motorists have never
known, but always wanted, said Mr.:
Ullman. No money would be needed
for establishing offices. They are al
ready established. The money paid in
would not have to be used having maps
made and printed We have maps
showing the good and the bad roads
in nearly every section of the United
States. In fact many of the expenses
incidental to establishing club under
ordinary conditions have already been
met by this association. This condi
ton would allow much of the money
paid in to be used in sign posting and
in the various ways that the advisory
board would recommend as tending 70
advance the interests of the clubs
members.
"A member of such a club as ] have
in mind would be not only a member
of the local organization, but would be
member of the national organization
and the motoring information obtain
able would be of a national character
and not restricted to local tours and
other affairs as is necessarily the case
at present. Whenever local owner
wants a bit of information he is
obliged to go to one of the local news
paper or motoring magazine Offices
where they gladly give him such in
formation as they have at hand, but
not being national touring bureaus
their store of touring advice is limit
ed"
