whether or not that club desired mem
bership in the A. A. A.
At the 1917 annual meeting of the
New York State Automobile Associa-
ton resolution was unanimously
passed as follows:
THAT the executive committee of
this association recommends that
mem bership in the American Auto
mobile Association be retained for as
many of our clubs as possible
through the New York State Auto
mobile Association only"
Again Urged to Join A. A. A.
Again, February ., 1918, notice was
sent to all of the clubs of the New
York State Automobile Association urg-
ing them to maintain membership in
the A. A. A. through the New York
State Automobile Association.
only sixteen out of total of us
clubs responded favorably to this call.
Other clubs stated that they did not
desire membership in the A. A. A.
Other clubs stated they could use the
funds to better advantage, while the
remaining clubs paid no attention
Whatever to the matter The New York
State Automobile Association paid dues
tor all of its members at large to the
A. A. A.
The lack of interest thus shown by
SO many of the New York State Auto
mobile Associations clubs was un
doubtedly due to the fact that I'D to
the time of the 1915 annual meeting of
the A. A. A. the New York State Auto
mobile Associations clubs had paid, in
the sum total, thousands of dollars an
nually to the A. A. A., but had had no
representation in that body. At the
1915 annual meeting of the A. A. A.
each of the ninety clubs then compos-
ing the New York State Automobile AS
ISOLATION was given director on the
A. "A. A. board of directors, but before
the next meeting the A. A. A. bylaws
were again revised so that these ninety
directors could have vote only on the
basis of 500 each. This action upon
the part of the A. A. A. caused a large
number of clubs to refuse further affil-
iatlon with that body.
In addition to state officials and pub
lie safety commissioners, representa-
tives of the oil division of the United
States fuel administration will be
present at the convention, as will also
officials of Canadian automobile asso-
Citations, the Automobile Club of Amer
lea and other state automobile asso-
Citations and individual clubs.

Motor Conference
A Serni-Annual
Affair

The motor transportation conference
oeing held every evening last week at
the Colt-Stratton Building proceeded
with satisfactory results. The attend
ance has shown remarkable increase
with each evenings session. A score
OF the foremost authorities in the
country on the respective branches of
motor transportation delivered ad-
dresses, which were followed by inter
esting discussions. The conference has
had the active cooperation of a dozen
different organizations interested in
motor transportation, as we'll as of a
MURDER of government officials. AS a
result OF the success Of the conference
it has been decided to make it a semi
annual affair.
Letters commencing the work of the
conference have been received from
Secretary of Commerce Redtield and
Mayor Hylan. The executives of the
Colt-Stratton company, who are the
initiators Of the conference and bear
its expense. have received many letters
OF commentator upon their enterprise.
The text of Secretary Redheld's let
ter to the conference follows:
81 approve heartily the study and
discussion of motor vehicle transporta-
ton at the conference. Apparently
you know my views as to the impor-
lance of motor transportation and I
will NOT. therefore, add to them in de-
tail at this time. 1t is q development
that cannot take place overnight, since
it involves practical questions of road
construction, transfer stations. etc. /
hope to have more time to devote 10
the subject when industry returns to
its normal trend after the war. Mean

thorough organization which, should
