Plan Largest Meeting.
The annual meeting of the American
Road Builders Association has become
recognized as the event of the year
among those actively interested in road
construction and maintenance. 1t always
brings together the leading men in the
United States identified with road build
ing and street paving, who meet for the
purpose OF discussing the problems in
which they are vitality concerned. Plans
are now being laid by the officials of the
association to make the Philadelphia
meeting the largest and most important
gathering of the kind ever held n the
United States.
AS usual! there will be in connection
with tn meeting an exhibition, or rather
exposition. of road and paving mach.n-
cry, materials. etc. This feature, which
is also under the auspices of the asso-
citation, is most important part of the
meeting and is invariably participated in
by the leading manufacturers of the in
dustry.
The main floor of the armory will be
devoted to the exhibition feature, this
floor being strong enough to hold the
largest and heaviest machinery.
The American Road Builders Associa-
ton was formed in 1902, and is the fore
most organization of it's kind in the
world. Among its members are the lead
ing road and paving experts. highway
