Everyone got paid on payday today at the Pittsburgh Downtown Hilton.

Tim Zugger, the general manager of the hotel, said the hotel has had a couple of financial issues at once. One, the hotel had trouble making payments to the pensions of the members of the Hotel And Restaurant Union Local 57. Also, P.J. Dick, the contractor for the renovations now going on at the hotel, has stopped work on the outside of the building.

Mr. Zugger said that while the hotel does owe the contractor money, the work delay is because of a change in the architectural plans for the building, and that the contractor is awaiting new fabricated steel.

Renovations have been going on for nearly two years at the hotel and are expected to be completed by winter.

The Hilton, at the forefront of the Golden Triangle on Commonwealth Place facing Point State Park, opened in 1959.
