Lea Declares
New Building
Not Promised

That it would be utterly impossi-
BILE to build a storehouSe for camp
ers at the present time without out
side aid, was the statement, of A.
H. Lea this morning, in answer to
the charges made by campers that
promises of better facilities at the
fair grounds had not been fulfilled.
1.-The fair board is willing to- CO.
operate with the campers in any
way possible--we want to do any
thing for them we can-but we
can't erect a new building for
them"
Mr.. Lea added that the campers
had probably petftioned for better
accommodations, but denied that
The had promised them a store
house.

ers association. which was organ

cording to a statement of Mrs. c.
w. Redmond of Hillsboro, who is
secretary of the association. d. ri.
Looney is president of the aar--cia-
ton and confirms the statement.
Mr.. Redmond says they petit
toned Secretary Lea of the fair
board last year to provide store
house for the many campers, where
equipment could be stored safely
and conveniently, and the secre
tary, she says, promised to furnish
the relief prayed for, but upon re-
turning this year, 5000 in number
they found that nothing had been
done to provide comfort for the
visitors. Mrs. Redmond states thai
she and her husband have been at
tendents at the state fair for twen-
ty successive years.
