NEW BUILDINGS At
STATE FAIR PARK
MEMBERS OF ADVISORY BOARD
APPROVE PROGRAM FOR
THE PRESENT YEAR.
STATE TO SPEND $3.50, 600. 90
Plan to Erect Four Large Buildings to
Be Used for Agricultural, Horti-
cultural and Educational
Exhibits.

Milwaukee - A building program
which will require expenditures OF
S250,000 at the state fair park, was ap-
proved at a meeting of the state fair
advisory board held here.
1t is the plan to erect four large
buildings, 125 by 200 feet on the south
ern portion of the ground, to the left
of the main entrance, now unoccupied.
The structures will be used for agricul-
tural, horticultural and educational ex-
hibits. One of the buildings will be set
apart for the use of women, while the
administrative offices will be located in
one of the new buildings.
Drawings were submitted for the
new puoltry building which is to be
erected this year on the west side of
the grounds, north of the automobile
building. The poultry building will be
40 by 900 feet. An appropriation of
$4,000 has been authorized for the
structure.
The moving of the main entrance of
the park further west, from which a
ninety-foot roadway will run through
the park, is one of the propositions be-
ing considered by the advisory board.
1t is the plan to locate the principal
buildings on either side of the road
while concession stands would be sit
