The Knox county commissioners are
to construct large building at the
Knox county fair grounds in which to
store trucks and machinery used in
road building and at the same time af-
ford the Knox County Agricultural So
ciety place to offer exhibits at the
time of the fair.
BY unanimous vote, the commits
sioners adopted a resolution Monday
calling for the construction Of the
building. The estimated cost was not
made public in the resolution.
| However, it was intimated ut the
| court house Tuesday that large
building would be necessary as the
county owns ten large trucks, two road
rollers and other valuable machinery
used in road building. It will require
a building of considerable size to store
this equipment.
According to the plan the road
equipment will be stored in the build
ing during the winter months and in
| the summer months the Knox County
Agricultural society will use the build
ing. During the county fair the build
ing will lie used for exhibit purposes.
The plan seems to meet with uni.
versal approval. The county has need
ed building of this kind for some
time. In the winter months the trucks
have been standing out in the open ex-
posed to snow and rain.
