The sales pavilion will probably be
erected inside of 80 days on the south
west corner of the fair grounds. A few
details must be arranged before
building work can commence. Water
must he pired TO tn" building and the
road should be macadamiZed
The men selected as directors will
act tentatively as building committee
to rush the plans. The building will
be used by the fair association during
fair week. At all other times it will
be leased by the corporation for sales
or other uses.
Mr.. Dobson presented a rough plan
of a building 48x60 with sale ring
28x34 and suitable seats, etc. The
shed will be 42x120 with 81 stalls. A
sales building 60 feet square is also
considered as the seating space Of the

sales building
