Dawley of this city was among those in attendance at the special meeting of the directors of the Con- necticut State Automobile association held at the headquarters of the Au mobile club of Hartford, Thursday af. ternoon. Now that the legislature is in session and there is a prospect of changes in the automobile law, which for the most part is regarded as satis- tory, the matter of taxation was dis- cussed. Vice President C. H. Gillette presided. He made the statement that automobilists desire very little change in the present law. The present rate of taxation was a matter of discus- sion and as the situation now exists the automobilists have to pay the reg- ular automobile tax not to mention that imposed by the assessors. This whole matter is to be thrashed out by the assocfation. The present state law in the matter of reciprocity is quite fair to all con- cerned, but the state assoclation de- ‘es t0 g0 a step or two better and enacted an_unlimited reciprocity clause so that there will be no time limit _for foreign cars as at_present, ten-days. The state of New York re- tly enacted a law covering this point and does unto other states as other states do unto it. Now it is de- sired to have Connecticut follow. President Gillette stated that any attempt to enact a more stringent law would be opposed by the state asso- ‘ciation, Native of Woodstock. The Rev. Isaac H.
