ROAD BUILDERS
ASSOCIATION FEBRUARY 20

The governors OF all the states in
The union and the mayors Of the
principal cities have been invited TO
attend and appoint delegates to the
Thirteenth annual convention Of the
American Road Builders association
al Pittsburgh. Pa, during the week
beginning February 2S. This meeting
will be known as the Sixth American
Good Roads Congress, and in connec-
ton with it there will be held the
Seventh National Good Roads Show.
Mayor Armstrong of Pittsburgh has
become so much interested in the
forthcoming convention and show that
he has written personal invitations to
the mayors of some 5000 cities, to be
present and participate in the pro-
ceedings of the convention and show
and also appoint delegates.
The association has also issued in
yitations TO state highway and city en-
gineers, throughout the country; TO
road engineers, to contractors, and
TO others interested in the admins
tration, construction and maintenance
of roads and streets.
The Trunk Line association has
granted a special rate of two cents
mile TO persons attending the con-
yention from points within its terri
tory. Similar arrangements are pend
ing with other railway organizations
whose lines enter Pittsburgh with
the probability that they will be
granted. Negotiations are also under
way for special cars and special
trains from points east and west for
the accommodation of officials and
others attending the convention. The
correspondence Of the association Of
ficials who have the work in charge
indicates that the attendance will be
very large
Reservations of exhibition space in
The good roads show demonstrate the
interest Of manufacturers in the con-
yention to be especially active. New
devices in road building and paving
machinery: and new methods Of
adaptation of materials will be pre-
scented. Indications now justify the
expectation that the show viii be the
most important ever held. both in the
number and variety of the exhibitors.
