mvzvz/AL MEETING OF MOTFR LEAGUE
(Continued from Page 10)
SECBETARTS REPORT
Mr. President and Gentlemen:
On behalf of the Executive of the Prince Edward Island Motor League I have much pleasure in. submitting the third annual re port and financial statement for the year ending December 3i, 193i.
It is gratifying to report that the emergency road service and le- gal advice rendered to our mem- hers on the five dollar membership fee has worked very satisfactorily, from the standpoint of service. We are glad to state that these two Departments are rendering ser- vice to our members on s. par with the services of any Motor League in Canada.
Throughout the year we have had a. continuation of friendly co- operative relations with the Cana- dian Automobile Association and. all Provincial Motor Leagues in Canada, especially with the Mari- time League, all of whom are tak- ing advantage of our reciprocal
kept up well during the difficult year which has Just closed, in fact our enibe snip for 193i was about the same as 1930, with six hundred and fifteen members. This may be taken as a tribute to the value of the League during a period when depression is felt. SERVICE T0 MEMBERS
The League service to individual members has been continued and extended during the year. Member- ship now offers personal advanta- ges which far outweigh the sub- scriptlon cost. The emergency road service as extended to our members from May 15th, to Nov- ember 15th, inclusive giving ten miles free towing, and thirty min- utes mechanical service on the road in an attempt to start car has been much used to advantage by our members. Through the ser- vice of our official garages. which are centrally located throughout the province.
With four hundred and twenty one cars in service, we answered one hundred and twenty one road trouble calls, averaging three dol- lars and forty two cents per call. It is pleasing to note that in every
service. Inter-provincial touring in Canada is increasing from year to year, and will be given a tre- mendous impetus by the comple- lion of the Trans-Canada High- r.
The growth of inter-provincial Motor Travel has increased in the past years, and is showing signs of z: still greater increase in this traf- fic. and will add more and more importance to the reciprocal ser- vice which automobile clubs are able to offer to each others mem- hers, and will increase substan- tially the benefits of automobile club membership.
Service as carried on by the mo- tor clubs will also tend to bring the clubs in closer contact and co- operation, to their mutual advan- tage.
MEMBERSHIP ‘ It is pleasing to report that the nc-mbership of the League has
case satisfactory service was given to the members andia satisfactory settlement was made. The services of Messrs. Thane Campbell, Summerslde, Bell and Matheson. Charlottetown and Montague, were retained as legal solicitors for the legal department. This Department, in giving free legal advice to members on all matters pertaining to motoring in- terpretation of the Motor Vehicle Act and advice in cases of collision etc., proved to be of great assist- ance to our members and in most of collision cases, satisfactory set- tlcments were arranged between the parties. Visiting motorists, who were members of affiliated Clubs also took advantage of this department, in regards to motor- ing laws, speed limit, etc. TOURING INFORMATION REAU AND LITERATURE The Information Bureau, as car-

ried on at 201 queen Street, was well patronized by visiting motor- ists, as well as by our own people. A Branch Office of the League was carried on in Bummersde, in the office of Mr. l". J. E. Wright. with Miss Doris Walker in charge, carrying a supply of literature and information. This was much ap- pieciated by our Prince County Membe a. We issued a new addition of our Guide Book, with road log and complete travelling information, also a new edition of our lithogra- phed map of Prince Edward Is- land, with route numbering and ferry service, information, etc. Both the guide book and maps had a large distribution from the of- fice; large quantities were sent to all other motor leagues and tour- ist bureaus, and in many cases the supply had to be replenished dur- ing the year.
As in past years, the Pursers on the Car Ferry and Hochelaga. dis- tributed our guide books and maps to motorists on the crossing trips to Prihcc Edward Island. This was indeed appreciated by visitors, as it gave them road direction and

We carried a full supply of maps and literature of the other Provin- ces of Canada, and the United States, which were much sought for by our local people, and also visitors and all interested in travel- ling in the other Provinces, and we were at all times able to give the required information to those starting on a motoring trip.
A great deal of time was given to planning and mapping trips for our own local people, and also for visitors who were returning by dif- Jerent routes . Those trips were planned on the route number and mileage scheme, giving the entire distances between cities, also the exact route numbers from centre to centre. This service proved oi’ great assistance to the travelling public and was greatly appreciat- cd. During the past season several conventions were held in Charlotte- town and every mssiblc assistance was given the sponsors of the dif- ferent conventions in arranging drives and trips, showing the beauties of our Province and our unsurpassed beaches. I wish to mention here the splendid co-cperation given by our public spirited citizens, who at all times were ready to give the use of their cars in entertaining dele- gates and visitors at the different conventions.

SIGNS ,
It is necessary, at this point, to say that during the year a very happy relationship existed between the Department of Publlo Works- and the Exigineers Department. Information given by the touring Department, and published in the road book is supplemented by road signs which have been erected throughout the Province, and have proved of great assistance to the travelling public.
We admit that the sign work was not carried on during the past season as extensively as we desir- ed, but we must realize that every Province in Canada is economiz-
