proven so efficient in Steelton, this
commission would be composed of men
who are connected with the borough
government in no other way. They
would receive no pay for their work.
Would Help Council
Since the proposed commission will
relieve council of a mass of detail
work and yet not curtail its authority
in any way it is believed that the bor-
ough fathers will show their willing
ness to get behind the recreation
movement at their next meeting by
suspending their rules and passing
the measure finally. BY doing this
they will assure the borough an ade-
quate system of Fairgrounds within a
few weeks and will enable the com
mission to get busy at once in obtain
ing competent Fairgrounds super
visor and the local instructors for
each playground.

cured it's charter, after which Mr.
Stewart began a campaign which few
men would care to undertake that
of organizing for the distribution of
stock, and also looking after the plans
and construction of the State fair
buildings and the two-mile speedway.
Mr.. Stewart realized more than any
ono else that the future held for him
no idle moments. He at once resumed
his thousands of miles of travel
Wherever Mr.. Stew&rt went he was
welcomed and the result is there has
not only been established a complete
chain of organizations working
throughout the State, but the people
themselves are voluntarily extending
courtesies and financial support.
Appreciating the fact that Pennsyl-
vania has long wanted a State fair,
and that nothing short of perfectly
designed buildings and a master
speedway would meet with the ap-
proval of the people, Mr.. Stewart eX-
tend ed his travels into other States,
visiting such noted State fair cities
as Springfield Illinois: Des Moines,
Iowa; Columbus, Ohio; Syracuse, n.
Y.-gatherng valuable data and con-
sUlting with leading engineers. Dur
ing one of these investigation tours
Mr.. Stewards attention was attracted
to the great speedway in Chicago, and
learned that 1t was designed by Gra-
ham. Burnham & Company. the noted
speedway and architectural experts,
whose nationally known achievements
stand as monuments TO their knowl-
edge and experience.
In Mr.. Stewards endeavors there
have been days that seemed to him
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-04-25

like days of magic. One of these
days was when he walked into thd
offices of Graham, Burnham & Com
pany. in Chicago, June IS, 1915, and
from that day the Keystone State Fair|
has been growing rapidly.
Then came the contract for pland

being well pleased with the prospects.
Said he: when / started out to
organize the Keystone State Fair and

a one-man concern. But how differ
ent now. The work is being done by
people all over the State; there is an
atmosphere of appreciation and
loyalty in every section"
Success After Uphill Fight
Mr.. Stewart tells an interesting
story of the uphill fight he made be-
fore he got the company on it's feet
and in position to go forward as
rapidly as it has in the past few
months.
Early in November. 1913. Mr.. Stew
art instituted thorough search
throughout the State for the most
logical State fair location - one that
could be easily reached by all rail-
roads, and as near the center of
population as possible. The search
finally narrowed down to Cumberland
and Dauphin counties, and II was al
this time that Mr.. Stewart became ac-
quainted with Mr.. Kunkel president
of the Mechanics Trust Company and
also owner of the Kunkel building
Mr.. Kunkel was the owner of beauti-
full farm of 1919 acres, Just outside of
Harrisburg, at that time leased by II.
j. Heinz. This proved to be an ideal
location. but, being too small, the two
adjoining farms were purchased to
complete the desired plot, making a
total of 40 acres, and conceded to be
one of the most magnificent sites in
the entire State.

other movement for the advancement
of SteeIton.
The steel company's offer of $500
makes available a fund of $500 for
Fairgrounds work during the coming
summer OF this sum $500 was appro-
priated by the borough council and
500 each by the Municipal League
and the Steelton Civic Club.
Frame Model Ordinance
Just how this fund will be expended
and how the big mass of detail work
incident to the establishment of a
Fairgrounds system will be taken care
of is the problem now facing the bor-
ough authorities and the civic organi-
cations back of the recreation move
ment.
To solve this problem the Municipal
League at its meeting last evening en-
dorsed the commission idea and dis
cussed model ordinance creating a
parks and Fairgrounds commission to
handle the recreation in Steelton. and
Will submit the measure to the bor-
ough council at its meeting Monday
evening.
This ordinance calls for appoint
ment of commission of FIVE men,
three of whom shall be the members
of the present Steelton Shade Tree
Commission which succeeded in es-
tablishing the present beautiful system
of parks in Harrisburg and in organiz-
ing the Fairgrounds system. The
members Will serve without pay and
will work under the direction of the
borough council so far as the spend
ing of money or the framing of rules
for the government of the recreation
facilities, are concerned.
