SIDERED BY COMMISSION

June 18th. and was in constant ses-
sion all day.
improvements on the track and
grounds, repairs and extension Of
buildings, and dozen other matters
were again gone over.
The cattlemen of the State have
long asked for better facilities in
the way of washing racks and water
supplies and other accommodations.
This necessitates in a measure the
rebuilding of the present water sys-
TEN on the State Fair grounds. 1t
had been hoped that connection with
the city water mains of Phoenix
might have been made this year, but
il was found to do so would cost
three or four thousand dollars in ex-
tending the mains to the Fair
grounds. The Fair commission will
have four inch mains laid within the
Fair grounds and will maintain its
water supply by pumping system as
it has in the past When the city
mains are extended to the Fair
grounds, the Fair will be ready to
connect.

Phoenix on the End and 3rd of July

advertising the State Fair. San
Diego has promised to send two
automobile loads to the State Fair
for every one that Phoenix sends
to San Diego for the Fourth OF July
celebration. The north always comes
en- masse to the State Fair.

ly organized band of twenty pieces
