A number of citizens of Minot APP
peared before the Board in regard to
site for fair grounds. and Mr.. J: p.
Belanger. representative of the 500 Rail
way, was also present.
The chairman gave all an opportunity
TO present the advantages of the sites
they favor and committee from the
Association of Commerce. consisting of
Messrs:, D. a. Dinnie. Anthony Walton,
n. a. Shirley and Maj. Person, spoke in
favor of the Olaf A. Olson site, They
thought it was the best location that
could be obtained; was close to the rail-
Of the future and not build only for
the present. The location and natural
advantages should come first. the cost
should be secondary considerations.
They consider the west side of town
the better location; not interested in
any particular site. but asked to use
their best Judgment in looking over
land
Mr., Youngman has site east of East
wood Park consisting of 95 acres, which
he thought would make an ideal loca-
ton; he would donate Is acres along
the river; is on the Roosevelt Highway
and within easy walking distance of the
city.
Mr.. Eide had a site of so rods beyond
n" Olson site which he considers better
than the Olson site. He also thinks
fair grounds should be located west of
the city near the large dairy farms, and
believes growth of city will extend west
instead Of east. His site has a natural
landing place for air planes, Has 20
acres of perfectly level land. Thinks
cost should be an important item in
buying. Said Mr.. Belanger of the 500,
| had gone into feasibility of building
I spur track and finds that with very
| little expense a spur can be nut in
! which will give free switching on this
| site.
! Mr.. i'clangcr Of the 500. said that
| from railway proposition, either the
| Olson or Eide sites would be good, He
had tai zen it UP with his people to see
what they would do. and while he had
no interest in any spccia site. would
| be glad to have it located on the 500.
| II" thought the Ehr site could be reach
ed by building bridge which would
! probably be quite expensive. spur
tracks could easily be built to the Olson
! site, The Eide site is ideal for track
| age and the yard limit board could be
extended :" that the grounds would be
! within what is called free switching
! limit. Neither the Olson or Eide sites
would require much grading. His com,
! papy would be glad to serve any site if
selected on their line. with trackaEe
The Eide site is 1885 feet west of Minot
Yard Limit Board. He had letter
from his company from which he read
the following extract: You being on
! IN" ground. should BE- in position tc
judg" what can be done in regard to
furnishing same with trackagc. and We
therefore, authorize You I" represent US
