Officials, Meeting at Bonrd of Trade Rooms— Dinner This Evening at the Riggs House. - A meeting of the loval executive com- mittee of the National Educational Asso- ciation was held at the Washington Board ef Trade rooms this morning at 10 o'clock, Chairman Blount presiding. ‘The members of the visiting committee were present, and those of the local committee were intro- duced to them. Ps tu The principal business offithe meeting was to receive the report of the trans- portation committee, and also to receive suggestions ‘from the visitors as to what would be required for the convention. Chairman Greenlees of the transportation committee “stated that he had communica- ted’ with ‘the different ‘Fallréads, and the result had deen satisfactory. “Ft was stated that transportation could ‘be furnished to ali delegates at the rate of one fare for both ways, with $2 added,’ the latter = e matier of time limit of the tickets of the delegates was also introduced. Place of Meeting. Superintendent Powell stated, in the mat- ter of a place of meeting, that halls which had a capacity of only 150 or 200 will not be available, and that only these holding audiences of 500 or 1,000 would be consid- ered. It was then left for the members of the visiting committee to make suggestions as to needs of the association. Secretary Shepard said that they had re- frained from giving definite ideas as to what was needed, as each city had its own way of meeting such requirements, and he was satisfied Washington would do this. He further added, however, that the as- sociation would have to be governed by several things, one of which was that in the transportation line an extension of the time limit should be made so that the delegates could spend as much of their va- cation as was deemed necessary at or near the point of the convention up to August cs Of In the selection of a convention place, Secretary Shepard also said that the city decided upon must be an attractive place, nesr which also there should be desirable Weegee Places, as the delegates needed these. - A further consideration, the secretary said, should Include a city which would be able to provide accommodations for 15,000 visitors at least; a suitable auditorium with capacity of 5,000 and stage room for 150 for at least eight meetings, and to have a sufficient force of ushers; seventeen halls or churches with seating capacity for from 500 to 1,500, and a place for secretary and seventeen department secretaries at. the headquarters hotel. This is where the lit- erary work will be done. In addition there must be a place for a trensurer and twen- ty five clerks, this to be at some central point conveniently situated with reference to joint railway agent’s office and local entertainment committee. A~ convenient Place for the deposit of railroad tickets, he said, should be one of the most important matters to be considered, and the dele- gates should be allowed to “lift” their tickets somewhere else besides this point. Suggestions Received. An opportunity was given to the repre- sentatives present to make suggest!ons. The matter of having more than one place for depositing tickets, is was stated, would have to be settled by the trunk line com- mittee. It was urged upon the railroad men that the restriction of having the dele- gates return here to get back home should be removed. : Chairman Blount fed £3, te veins committee that it shoujd not’ wo! about’ the ability of the city care of any number of visitors up 50,000." It would found, he said, that the delegates would have no difficulty in “meéti: the rates asked.
