As no city has a convention hall larjce enough to hold al the exhibits, according to V. R. Hawthorne, secre tary of Division f, American Rail way Association, he proposes the erection of a temporary structdre lo accommodate the 25 or more rail road bodies which would hold con ventions here under the plaj.s. An other suggestion I t0 hold 11 t'Hn" tral exposition in ( hicago wun u numlier of smaller celebrations held simultaneously in other cities, mak- ing Cliicago the 'center of a great railroad centennial wheel. American railroads will participate in in the English celebration of the opening of the first railway in the world, conducted by the In ternational Railway Congress, but it is the desire of the American Kail wav Association also to commemor ate the American centennial, which comes In 11)28. The truckage of the American roads, according to the Interstate Commerce Commission, is- ;i70,9i)2 miles, not including switches and terminal lines. According to 'these same figures, there are now in op eration approximately 70,000 locomo tives, 2500,000 freight cars and (io, 000 passenger cars. "Although . there - were, railways in the western hemisphere. It was they were not -common carriers," I says the Chicago Association of Com merce, interested m the plans tor commemoration. "When Charles Car rol of CaiTollton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, drove the first.
