In view of the fact that motor-car

creasing numbers throughout the coun
try, and in view of the commercial and
moral influence which such contests
may be made to exert for or against
the general good of the automobile In
dustry, In both pleasure and com
mercial car lines, are you or are you
not In favor of extending to a well
organized contest board such support
as will Insure, a strong and clean-cut
administration of contest affairs?

or ail of the forms of contests here
listed?

Reliability Tours.
1. Is it. In your estimation, desirable
to hold one or more big annual re
liability touring events?
2. Should this event, If held, be man
aged by the A. A. A.? (bearing In mind
that (he contest board is itself the
sport-governing body to which must be
referred all matters of protest against
the decisions of the referee).
3. Should such a national touring
event be known as the Glidden tour?
4. Should any motor-car contest
event have coupled with it the name
of a cup donor or any nidivldual who
might be Instrumental in the promo
tion of the event?
5. What recommendation shall be
made by the M. C. A. to the contest
board as to the disposition of the

Stork Car Events. (
6. Are stock car events desirable in
present numbers?
7. Are you in favor of entire elmlna
tion of weight restrictions in stock car
events?
8. If not In favor of the above, do
you believe that a'weight limit fair to
all would be obtained by having the
A. A. A. technical committee take a
chassis from stock, and stripping it to
racing condition, obtain the true
weight thereof?
9. Would you favor only four or five
big stock car events annually, Includ
ing road, speedwav and hill climbing
contests, placing those unFlef the most
rigid technical supervision as to the
bona fide nature of the stock claims?

"stock car" entirely eliminated from
competitive events?
11. In view of the fact that facilities
and present financial income of the
contest board are inadequate for a
proper national control of motor-car
competitions and for an energetic ad
ministration of the rules which the
M. C. A. has recommended for the
adoption of the contest hoard, would
you favor a formal request to the na
tional association or other trade or
ganization for such financial support
as may be necessary to insure *thc
proper administration of the contest
rules which the M. C. A. has recom
mended?
Commercial Car Trials.
12. Do you favor supervison by the
United States Government of two or
three big commercial car trials each
year?

the present commercial car rules as
will make competitions more strenu
ous?
