Most Successful Initial Year Reported By President, Mr. Jus- tice Arsenauit, and Secretary, Mr. J. M. McFadyen — Mem- bership Increase An- ticipated.

A very successful years work was reported at the second annual meet- ing of the Prince Edward Island Mo- "or League, held last evening in the Board of Trade Rooms. Reports were presented by the President, Mr. Jus- tice Arsenault. who presided and by the secretary, Mr. J. M. McFadyen. Since May 1st, about 160 motorists have joined the league, and hope was expressed that the membership for i681 would fer exceed that of last year. After the reading of the minutes the president stated that during the past year, some executive meetings were held and routine work disposed of. The League kept in touch with the Department of Public Works. The News league advocates the cut- ting of bushes on private pro- perty where the view is obstructed and the carrying of lights by all ve- hicles. Last year a large number of road signs were erected, and others will be added this year. including ll- luminsted signs. At the end of the year, it is hoped that the Island roads will be marked better than the roads in any other province of Can- ada. The Department of Public Works did much work in the erec- tion of signs, under the direction of the Magus. The Secretary is on the job at all times. l-le is in the office of the Tourist Association. where he receives and directs visitors to the roads. which they. wish to travel. Tilers is not an ofllce in Oansda, where better service is rendered than in the else. of the Tourist Associa- tion and the Motor League. llnoe Hay let, 160 members have signed up to belgue membership. _Of'

When picked up both ladies were conscious, but later became uncon- scious. 0n arrival at Sumrncrsidc they were taken in the ambulance to the hospital. Both ladies are in a very serious condition. Mr. and Mrs. Boulter had purchased some goods in the store of Mr. McLeod, which is situated 100 yards from the track and asked Miss Cameron, who worked in the store if she would like a drive home. They had no sooner started than the accident occurred.

Mr. Boulter stated he did not see the train. The crossing is a dang- erous one. On the Bed-aqua side of the road leading from Albany to ‘Pi-yon the buildings are m near the railway track. On tho ngnl side of the road is a blacllsnuu. shop, al- most. at the crossing and on the other side a meat shop and barber shop.

Mr. Gau- det would like to see a club house for motorists. A large membership would be of great benefit to the or- ganlzatlon. Mr. Waller Grant stated he was glad to note the splendid surplus. At the first of the year there was doubt as to how the League would fare financially. Mr. Grant believed that the League should endorse the idea of hard surface roads for the Pro- vince. Good engineering should be stressed in the building of perman- ent roads. The straightening of curves has been a compromise with what is actually required. There are too many right-angle turns. all of which are dangerous. It would be a mistake to put hard surfaces on the highway without careful engineering with regard to the curves. Mr. P. W.

Parliament Opposes Any Further Loss of Time In Construction Due to Naval Nego- tiations.

(Dy Ralph flelsen United Press Staff 6-... pendent)

(Copyright 1981. by United Press)

PARIS, May d-The French pro-

gram for strengthening the Govern-

ment's position in naval negotiations

by warcraft construction was com-

pleted today coincident with a new

move for conclusion of the proposed Franco-Italian limitations accord at

Geneva. in the next two weeks.

The navy committee of the Cham-

ber of Deputis, studying the pro- gram for construction of about 50,000 tons of war-craft in the coming year, took the attitude that the Govern- ment was obliged to build as rapidly as possible. Parliament also was be- lieved to Oppose any further loss of time in construction due to naval ne- gotiations. The departure of Rene Massigli, the naval ewpert, for Lon- don, however, was described as an effort to prevent definite collapse of negotiations for a limitations accord until the League of Nations Council meeting in Geneva neat week. Oon~ lldence was expressed in Government sources than Foreign Nllnlster Aris- title Briana III-lid. be able to confer with the Britten Foreign Secretary, Arthur Henderson and Foreign Min- ister Dino Grsndi of Italy, to bring about a definite truce through mut- ual concessions which would break the deadlock.
