I must be brief tonight as we have something else to do, nacne- ly, to present the prizes awarded. for the best and most cleverly de- corated Cars in the Tattoo Proces sion.
The judges had great difficulty in coming to a decision to whom to award these prizes owing to the general excellence of the ex- hibits. I think the Empire car stood out but as this was put in by this Association it did not compete for a prize. The most effective car was that of the Standard Oil Company as a service station com- plete in the minutest detail, and this takes first prize of the trade cars. (Applause).

I am sure you will agree with me, however, that the officers of the Traffic De partment are always civil and courteous and I can vouch for the fact that many reports made are overlooked and put into the waste paper basket.
