The executive council informally decided to let Des Moines residents opposed to selling thirty nine acres of the state fairgrounds buy seven acres near the Rock Island tracks and lease it back to the state fair to protect the state's interests. If locals cannot buy at a fair price the council will condemn the land to let Des Moines citizens raise funds to purchase the seven acres.
