In order to put Mechanical hall in proper shape for the purposes of the convention and exhibition, the city council of Pittsburg, reoently appro priated the sum of $15*,000. The work to be done will'include the in stallation of a heatlhg plant and the placing of .a .concrete rioor. The building, which is owned by the city, is situated in the "Point" district at the junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, and faces on Du quesne Way. Direct railroad con nections will facilitate the handling of heavy exhibits, and the location of the building in' the down-town bus iness district makes it an especially desirable meeting place. Pittsburg, as a city for holding na tional conventions, such as the sixth American good roads congress will be, has advantages that can scarcely be claimed by any other city in the Unit ed States. It can be reached by prac tically half the population of the United States by a twelve-hour ride. Its facilities for accomodating the delegates and housing the convention and show are most excellent, and it is a city of unusual interest to engi neers. . The time, of.year selected will afford many advantages; as it will be an especially convenient time for. the contractors, engineers , and road and street officials to come together. Work on the program has already been commenced by the executive committee. In making up the pro gram the aim will be to cover all the live subjects in which those identified with highway''improvement are in terested. In fact. It is proposed to make this meeting a< liberal education in the construction and maintenance of improved highways. The speak ers on the program will include the best known authorities on the sub jects assigned to them. It is confi dently expected that the forthcoming convention and show will be by-all odds the greatest of Jthe k'ind ever held in this country.
