Jamestown Tercentenary Exposition Opens Amid Incomplete Buildings
Norfolk April 22 Despite heavy effort by officials and thousands of workers the Jamestown tercentennial exposition opens Friday with many major structures unfinished. The grounds are about 80 percent finished, debris hindering appearance though brick and iron buildings remain as permanent park nuclei. The event aims to showcase colonial hardships and naval power with President Roosevelt in the leading role and delegates from foreign nations. Twenty five states contribute historic exhibits along Hampton Roads as a grand naval display crowns the fair.
