There seems to be considerable
misunderstanding among members
as to the free towing, service. ac-
cording to the current issue of the
"North Dakotan," official publica-
tion Of the Greater North Dakota As
sociati0n.
All of the advertising incidental
to the campaign for 1926 advised
that this free towing service extends
from June 1st to September 18th.
that is the so-called touring season.
The association does not operate pa
troll cars nor does it have official
garages. If member during the
period from June | to September Is
is in need of towing service, he
phones to the nearest garage and
pays the garage man for the actual
towing service but not for repairs,
gas, oil, etc. The member secures a
receipted statement for the towing
service rendered and forwards the
receipted statement to the associa-
tion's office. Refund is made direct
to the member at the following rate:
so cents mile one-Way for bring
ing gas, tires or any accessory.
Is cents mile one-way il car is
on four wheels and is towed in.
$l.0O a mile one-way if dolly is us
ed in towing car.
Garage men filling out receipted
statement should give the distance
otharwise there will be delay in
sending refund to member. Under
no circumstances should the garage
man agree to bill the association di-
rect. Refunds will not be made T.
