PLANS MADE FOR AN
ATHLETIC FIELD
County Roadmakers Will Do the
Work if Necessary Funds
are Raised.

The County Fair board held a ses-
sion Monday afternoon to discuss the
matters of doing the necessary filling
inside the track on the County fair
ground for an athletic field. After an
inspection of the grounds and con
siderable discussion of ways and
means, it was decided that the new
grandstand be erected somewhat west
Of the present judges stand and that
the athletic field be placed directly
In trout Of the grandstand, this max
ing the latter serve for fair purposes
as well as for athletic events. Filling
will be taken from machinery hill and
some from south side of track.
1t was further decided that the sur
plus in the treasury of the county
fair association must not be used for
grading the athletic field, as the needs
for new system of roads on the
grounds and for a waterworks system
must be taken care of from this. It is
proposed that the athletic field be
financed by the backing of all persons
interested, the amounts subscribed to
be carried and amortized from per-
centage of the receipts from athletic
events. The matter will be further
discussed at an early meeting of the
Willmar Commercial Club. Every
member of the fair board present at
Mondays meeting pledged their indi-
vidual support Of this plan. With an
athletic field added to the County fair
grounds park, it will positively be the
best equipped place for summer gath
erings in Central Minnesota, and will
bring a large additional number Of
important gatherings to Willmar
The county roadmaking crews will
pull in this week, and it is hoped that
the necessary funds will be made
available to keep this crew together
and do the grading on the grounds
during the next few weeks.
The members of the fair board who
attended Mondays meeting were
Messrs. John Wicklund, C. o. Berg
quist, Roy Bingham, Robert Thomp-
son, E. C Wellin. o. R. Berkness, w.
o. Johnson and V. E. Lawson.
