improvements on State Fair Grounds.
The financial success of the Iowa stale
fair this year insures a big step In the
permanent Improvement of the grounds for
next year. While the amount OF profit from
this years fair is as yet unknown, and
while the exact improvements for the fair
for next year are unknown as yet, still the
general plan of the Improvement are known
and will be decided upon definitely as soon
as there is money with which 10 carry out
the plans. The intention is. as fast as pos
sible, to replace all the cattle and horse
barns now on the grounds, with the ex-
ception OF the two new cattle barns, with
new permanent brick buildings. The fair
will secure more ground and the swine
pens will be moved to make room for new
and bigger horse barns. The exposition
building is to be weatherboarded on the
outside and ceiled on the inside andother-
wise remodeled in time. A steel machinery
shed is to be erected, beginning where the
secretary's Office is now and running west.
An administration building is to be erected
just west of the stock pavilion where all
the officers OF all the departments Of the
fair are to be placed More dining halls
of brick are to be erected some day and a
steel amphitheater and brick and steel
horse pavilion. so that the cattle and horse
judging will not have to be all done in the
same pavilion and rushed through at such
gait. A new swine pavilion is among
the improvements planned also and any
amount of work to be done In the streets
in the way of grading and laying sewer
and storm drains and paving and cement
walks. All of these improvements will
take years TO secure. The profits of this
years fair will build only a few OF them
o.Ixo -
assist In THE work of making the improve
ments. As much as possible will be erected
during the months intervening between this
and the fair OF 1907.
