300 IOWA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 



by the board, for a further discussion of matters pertaining to the 

 work of making the plans for the development of the Iowa State 

 Fair and Exposition Grounds. Mr. Simonds submitted the follow- 

 ing revised proposition, which was agreed to by both parties: 



Chicago, 111. 

 To the Iowa State Board of Agriculture. 



Gentlemen. — We will make a topographical survey and plat of the fair 

 grounds; will study the grounds in connection with this plat and make 

 a plan showing drives, walks, location of present and future buildings, lo- 

 cation of woods and plantings; will furnish profiles of roads and walks, 

 and such cross sections as may be needed; will note on the drawing the 

 elevations of the various buildings; make a perspective drawing showing 

 the grounds as a whole; and furnish a report in which the treatment of 

 the grounds will be discussed fully; for the sum of three thousand dol- 

 lars ($3,000.00). 



The above drawings will be on a scale of one inch to one hundred feet. 

 We shall also furnish certain detail drawings on a larger scale, because 

 the arrangement of planting cannot always be shown in detail on a scale 

 of one hundred feet. 



The plats and drawings to be made shall embrace all of the plans and 

 conditions set forth and specified in the certain papers hereto attached 

 marked "Exhibit A," the intention being to incorporate all of the condi- 

 tions specified in said exhibit in the proposition herewith submitted. 

 Yours truly, 



O. C. SIMONDS & Co. 

 March 11, 1910. 



We hereby accept the above proposition of Mr. O. C. Simonds & Com- 

 pany of Chicago, Illinois. 



Signed this 6th day of April, 1910. 



EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, 

 For the Iowa State Board of Agriculture. 



By J. C. Simpson, Secretary.

EXHIBIT "A." 



Sets in triplicate of all drawings required shall be furnished, one set 

 of which shall be on linen back paper. 



GEOUPS. 



A. Contour map of the grounds as far as the present east line of the 

 grounds proper extends on a scale of 100' feet to one inch. This plan shall 

 show in addition to the variations in elevation indicated by the contours 

 of all of the present buildings, the permanent buildings to be distinguished 

 from the temporary buildings. The topographical plat will also show 

 existing areas of woods and the important trees scattered about the 

 grounds.
