MAYOR SMITH SELECTS A SITE

HNHE Convention Hall site selected by the
l. Mayor. on the Parkway between 2lst and
22d streets, is within three or four hundred
feet as near the City Hall as the site at Gath
and Chestnut streets. recommended last
spring. It is farther from the hotel district
and 1t is not so accessible by street car, Yet
il Is within a reasonably short distance OF the
heart OF the city and can be reached quickly
by automobile, either Jitney or taxi
The Mayor regards It as by far the best
site yet suggested. The advocates of the
early erection OF the hall may not agree with
hlm but they doubtless wise enough
TO cooperate in persuading Councils to
40 ahead and direct the early erection
OF the building. There never will be
general agreement on any site because
all that have been proposed have faults.
