FEDERAL MEN NEEDING
CAMERON'S PLEA FOR
IMPROVED BUILDINGS
Especial to The Dispatch)

PHOENIX, Oct. 16.-Federal public
buildings for Tucson and Prescott and
greatly enlarged and modernized
federal building for Phoenix loomed
up Friday rs more than a probability
when Frank E. Mcmillan of Washing
ton, d. c., superintendent of postoffice
quarters and engineering, and United
States Senator Ralph Fl. Cameron
made a personal tour of inspection
of the federal structure on the north
west corner of North First avenue and
West Monroe street
Superintendent Mcmillan and Senator
Cameron were accompanied by postal
Inspectors D. A. Pressly, G. G. Rolfe
e. H. Kline and r. G. Knox. The en-.
tire building was inspected and con-
ferences were held with Postmaster
James A. Jones. Marshal George A.
Mauki Register of the Land Office II.
A. Morgan and other federal officials
occupying quarters in the building.
Mcmillan, a member of the commit
tee of four appointed by the postmas-
ter general and the secretary of the
treasury, stated that he was convinced
that a new and modern building was a
necessity in this city. Tentative plans
for the Improvement of the present
building call for additions at either
end and loading platform from So
to 100 feet long at the rear. The pres
ent building is to be practically un-
touched while the wings will rise to a
height of six floors. About $3.50, 600
is the estimated. cost of the additions
and remodeling.
In the work to be done on the pres
ent structure care will be taken to see
that every facility is given to postal
service by automobiles, McAIillari said.
He remarked that the present build
ing, built about IS or II years ago,
was not planned TO properly handle
the parcel post which has become one
service
Mcmillan explained that the money
for the work is to come from the
500, 100000 dollars recently appropri- !
ated by congress to improve federal
quarters and erect necessary structures
the country.
He gave out the information that his
visit to Arizona was made at the per-
sonal solicitation of Senator Cameron
He remarked that the postmaster gem

to be made at the ter

Demand for Concession
Space at State Fair Is
Shattering All Records

PHOENIX, Oct. 16.-Demand for
concession space at the 22nd annual
Arizona free state fair, November
to 1S, is shattering all records,
according to j. P. Dillon, secretary
of the fair.
Not only are residents of Arizona
taking advantage of having space at
the coming fair, but eastern conces-
sionaires ara reserving several choice
locations. The we'll known hot dog,
cola drink and hamburger stands will
be much in evidence this year
This year there Will be several
modern restaurants on the grounds.
visitors will now have real nome
cooked meals like Ma used to make"
right on the midway This means
tha, the visitors will be able to
spend the entire day on the grounds.
This will please the boys and girls
for there viii be something doing
every minute during the fair.
More and more attractions are
being contracted for hy Secretary
Dillon every day. The gladway list
now includes shows aEG attractions
OF every description, ~ big rides
including all the latest ones-and
dozens of concessions. Tho list of
exhibits will be bigger than ever,
Is buildings and several hundred feet
of canvas being necessary to house
the display of Arizona products.
The big grandstand program will
make many circus blush with
shame. Secretary Dillon has spared
no expense in contracting. for high
priced amusement features. The
daily program will include several
kind of horse races, whipret races,
circus acts, aerial stunts, football
games and other features. On Sat-
urday, the closing day, the fair COM
mission will stage auto races. On
Wednesday and Thursday the sane
toned dog show will be held.
The gates viii open at a. M.
and remain open until midnight.
All railroads are offering reduced
rates to the, fair.

said that it would possibly begin as
early as the first of the year.
When questioned whether the out
come of the general election in No
vember would have any effect on the
federal building program of Tucson
Prescott and Phoenix, Mcmillan bit
hard on his cigar, smiled, winked and
said: why, Postmaster General New
would be very much disappointed not
to have Cameron back in washington,
and I believe that it is possible that
his ardor for Arizona would be very
much cooled. OF course, much depends
on what the senator has to say about
the matter, as Harry New and he are
great friends and the senator is very
we'll versed on postal matters"
From Phoenix, Mcmillan will go to
Tucson for another personal inspection
trip. He said that he would not take
in Prescott, as he was fully convinced
by trustworthy reports that the north
ern city is very much in need of new
quarters for its federal workers.
When it was called TO McNTillan's at
tentioh that each state expected two
new postoffices, he said that such was
not exactly the case, as some states,
such as Nevada and idaho, were we'll
equipped at the present time and it
was quite probable that Senator Cam
eran couI have the appropriations
which could so to those states used
in Arizona, where the population is
fast outgrowing federal quarters
From Arizona, Mcmillan will go toI
California to pass on proposed federal
structures in that state. His visit tol
Arizona marks the last step in passing
on the building program for this state
He said that he was in the midst of a
tour of California when at the solicita-
tiOn of Senator Cameron he came toi
Arizona to make final inspection sol
that the building activities could bel
facilitated here.
