THE NEXT MEETING. Your Committee desires to call attention to the fact that hearty invitations have been tendered the Association by the Rochester Railway Company, of Rochester, N. Y., and the West End Street Railway Company, of Boston, Mass., to hold the next annual meeting in their respective cities. In this connection the Committee feels called upon to comment upon the fact that the Association, with its attendant friends and business acquaintances, has become so large in numbers as to tax to the utmost the hotel accommodations of most cities. It has occurred to your Committee that it might be advisable to refer each year the question of the selection of the next place of meeting to the Executive or a Special Committee, whose duty it shall be to take under advisement the question of hotel accommodations and special rates as an inducement for the Association to go to any certain city. THE PITTSBURG STREET-RAILWAY COMPANIES. The Committee takes occasion to express its grateful recognition of the efforts that have been made by the Pittsburg Street-Railway Companies, and especially by their Local Committee, to have all the arrangements relative to the meeting as complete as possible, in the matter of the street-railway exposition, as well as in the entertainment of the delegates and their friends. In closing this report, we are glad to call attention to the fact that, although the year has been one of unusual mortality, we have not been called upon to mourn the loss by death of any of our representatives.
