Bond, buildings and grounds supervisor for the fair board. The cement block exhibit building commenced a year ago has been completed recently, including roofing, wiring, and pouring a cement floor. has The refreshment been repainted and and a new roof is being buil: over the grandstand, to replace the one which was destroyed this spring by high winds. Water lines have been run to the stock watering troughs in the livestock exhibit area, and two new livestock sheds and a new entrance and exit to the parking area over by the livestock sheds have been constructed this month. One of the major improvements is the grading of streets in the fairgrounds and the roads approaching the grounds in the near vicinity. There have been built up and graveled, Mr. Bond said. In the ' arena and adjacent area,' the rodeo pens and chutes are being repaired; and the arena is being lighted by 24 big flood lights installed on 9 poles This will enable the fair board members and workers to plan for presentation of a night rodeo and other evening entertainment at the fairgrounds rather than in some public building in the city, which has been the general practice in previous years. These projects have been carried out through the cooperation of the fair board, county commissioners, church, civic organ cations, city council, 'F. F. A., Utah Young Farmers, American Legion, Duchesne Fsh St Game Club, and individuals. One of the livestock sheds is being built by the Alfemont and Union F.F.A. Chapters and one stand by the Duchesne and Roosevelt Young Farmers. The Altamont Young Farmers have been help ing with the roof on the grandstand; the exhibit building has been constructed under the direction of the Duchesne Young Farmers assisted by individuals. The Arcadia Ward group poured the cement for the floor of the exhibit building. Lighting of the buildings has been handled oy the Duchesne Young Farmer group, instructed by Mr. Bond. Troy Bailey and Darwin Woodbury are in charge of the lighting project. This is being sponsored by the city, church, and fair board. The poles for the lighting were cut and delivered by the Duchesne Fish St Game Club members. The Fruitland Ward members have been assisting with installation of the lighting Mr. Bond com mends the people for the interest they are taking in preparations for the fair this year; but reminds everyone that this work is being continued nearly every evening and night, and additional help is needed for completion of the outlined work prior to Sept. 5 - 6, date of the fair. oil noon aids UTAH REVENUES The oil boom In Utah has helped to boost the state's land grant revenues 30 per cent in the past two years, officials of the State Land Board said Friday.
