Details of the proposition Atlanta
will make to the executive committee

gress to induce the organization to
hold it's 1914 convention here will he
determined at a meeting of the board
of directors of the Atlanta Convention
Bureau at O'Clock Thursday night at
the Piedmont Hotel
The congress, being an organize
tion without revenue, imposes certain
conditions upon cities which ask for
its conventions, and the city that
makes the most concessions usually
gets the meeting. In Detroit, where
the 1918 meeting was held, the con-
gress was given a meeting place free
of charge, a street was closed up and
turned over to the body for the dis
play of heavy building ma
chimes. and the Detroit Chamber of
Commerce purchased and donated the
convention badges.
In all probability Atlanta will offer
the free use of the Auditorium, a va
cant lot for the machinery display and
either free badges of days outing
at Stone Mountain or some other To-
cal point OF interest.
Several cities are competing for the
next meeting, among them Denver,
New Orleans and Peoria.
