TRAFFIC PROBLEMS DISCUSKED,
པ་
Traffic problems and other matters of interest to motorists were discussed at the third ordinary annual meeting of the Hongkong Automobile Associa- tion, held last evening at the offices of Messrs Jardine, Matheson & Co., Ltd. The Hon, Mr. P. H. Holyoak, retiring President, presided, and there were with him Dr. G. M, Harston Vice-President, Mr G. Miskin Hon. Secretary and Treasurer and the following members of the Committee: Mr C. Lauritsen, Mr C, C, Hickling, Mr C. D. Lambert. Quite a number of members of the Association at tended the meeting.
A brief report was submitted by the Committee. The roll of members was 259; two had died during the year, and 60 new members had joined. A total of 198 Club badges had been issued, 55 of them during the year. Mr. H. G. Brayfield and Mr. J. L. Crockatt bad resigned from the Committee. Their places had not been filled.
Entrance fees and subscriptions amounted to $1,340 for the year. A balance of $1,727 had been brought forward. The Association now had a balance of $2,669, of which $1,500 was on fixed deposit.
The Chairman said that he did not think that the members of the Association generally realized the amount of work done in the year by the Association, and particulaily by the Secretary, whose energy ha could not praise to highly. Naturally. much of the work of the Association was of a private character, so that members were not always fully got versant with the extent of the work being done. The Association' had a good deal of correspondence with the Government, much of, which could not be published, and during the year there had been a great deal of spade work. He personally had had an arduous yet, and would be glad to hand over the reins of office.
The Arst question the committee was called upon to deal with during the past year was that of a central garage. In the correspondence with the Government, it was elicited that the desired site, at the lower Peak Tram Station, was military land, and therefore the Government, though sympathetic, could not meet the wishes of the Association. He hoped that when the question of military lands in Hongkong was definitely settled, the, Association would get what it desired. A very important question, on which the committee had not yet come to
a fl settlement, was that, of It was often suggested that motor- a training school for chauffeurs, ists were always pressing their own both with 2 view to proclaims, whereas, az a matter of fact, ducing efficient chauffeurs for private they were frequently urging reforms Fears, and reducing the present which were in the general public abnormally high rate of wages, paid interest. One was loth to com in this Colony as compared "with ment" upon the recent lamentable almost every other motoring centre accident, which was likely to be the in the Far East. The committee had subject of an oicial enquiry, hat three proposals on this; question it seemed probable that it could have which it was leaving as a ́legacy to been averted if a stop had been par the incoming committee.

Mr. Bevington suggested that the” question of competitions be left to the Committee to decide, after car- vässing the members for opinions and ruggestions.
He was aware that the police had issued notices to householders, warn ing pedestrians of the danger of rushing heedlessly across the road, but mach more than this should be done. The Association would be only too glad to assist the police by any means in its power: The police had appealed to motorists to reduce speeds when passing through central areas, and he urged this again on all motorists who were members of the Association. Although the police f-did not desire to enforce a speed limit, a reasonable speed trust be
