John G. Quinn said, II am in favor
of the county buying the fair grounds
because 1t would be good adver-
Using medium for the farmers who
produce better crops. 1t will be there
as it should be. The best premiums
given for things produced on the
farm and not for races and such like
as it is now. believe it can be
made self-supporting under proper
management.
Joseph H. Dye said, why should
the county buy the ball park for the
Blackfoot ball team to play on? Let
the city buy these grounds, they get
the most good from it. II the grounds
are not self-supporting now, will
they be if the county should pur-
chase them? Won't Pocatello and
Idaho Falls draw the interest of the
people from us with their fair
grounds?"
