AUTOMOBILE CLUB LAW

The numerous so-called Automobile Clubs and Associations which have been operating in this State during the past year will find their tethers considerably shortened after substitute House Bill 77 enacted by the 9th Legislature and approved by the Governor becomes effective.

The Arizona Automobile Association, ably assisted by the Chambers of Commerce, strongly urged its passage. How significant that the so-called Automobile Clubs which are making profuse promises to their members strenuously opposed it. Some of these are now reforming and re-organizing in order to make new bid for public favor. Many of their imported high-powered "racket" solicitors are now, however, considering a change of location.
