A new concrete and steel grand
stand and club house, costing $780,
900. will be erected at the Laurel
race track before its 23-day session
opens on October Q.
This announcement was made
when officials OF the Maryland State
Fair, Inc, which conducts the
Laurel meeting, presented drawings
of the proposed buildings to the
Maryland Racing Commission In the
latter's offices in the Fidelity Build
ing, Baltimore. :.
Work on the new buildings will
be started on April /, giving the
Laurel folks six months to complete
their Job, which should be suffi-
Gent. as concrete work won't be
held up by cold spells.
Laurel is the only State mile
Track not possessing a steel and
concrete grandstand. The Kac.
ing Commission had intended
forcing Laurel to build last
year, but due to lack Of time,
the commission agreed tn allow
Laurel to operate last fall with
it's old wooden stands In use.
However, an u m a u m was
handed the Maryland State Fair
Inc. at the close of last October
session, and today's news was the
outcome of that warning.
The new grandstand at Laurel
will be the smallest OF the States
four mile tracks, seating only $500
spectators. However, the new club
house will be arranged that several
thousand fans can view the races
from it, giving Laurel at least
IL, 600 seats.

the erection of new stables.
