So when It was decided that the
bouse and conteotd would be de*
stroyed by fire. Health Inspector
Donald Morrison .summoned tew*
eral memtors ,of the fire depart*
ment to assist him to the process
of destroctlon.
Said Morrison later, “The fire
men are very adept at putting out
fires bdt the> had to use a lot of
paper ptos kindling, one gallon of
gas and two gallons of kerosene
before they could even get the
bloody building to bum.*'
The Burieee eg the lot was graded
and scraped by county crews after
the fire. It is also proposed to
grada and use the acre lot at tha
imth wMt oorder of the Interaeo*
tloa, now planted with cotton es
a parking area while the acre let
at the northwest comer, now a com
field, will be made Into a tree nur
sery, wherein growths nmy be
started for park purposes.
The old wire fence about the fair
grounds Is being removed and a
S ew-cyclone steel fence of modem
eslgn is to be Installed at once.
A building formerly on city prop
erty has been mowed to the fair
grounds and after being remodeled
will be used as a fair office.
