TO EDUCATE PEOPLE
Motor Truck Owners May Admit All Motorists Into State Association- Grievance Headed for Legislature.

So much interest has been created throughout the state concerning the various items in the motor vehicle laws, which the state Motor Truck Owners association has objected to on the grounds of their being unjust, that the executive committee of the association in session at New Haven yesterday has voted to recommend a change in bylaws permitting the admission into the association of all persons interested in motor transpor- tation, whether by truck or other- wise. This would admit owners of pleasure cars into the membership.
 The object is to educate the people of the state so that at the next session of legislature they may have some of the objectionable features of the laws repealed.
 Deputy Sheriff A. P. Marsh, of this city, who is secretary of the state as- sociation, and who attended the meet ing yesterday, has received word from Judge John H. Light, counsel for the association, that Commissioners Ben nett and Stoecke will grant another hearing at the capitol December ..
