Iowa Building Seen as Likely at Panama Exposition

They expect a report at the October meeting, weighing funding ideas and Waterloo’s role. The Chicago 1893 Iowa building could inspire a similar structure costing about 25000 dollars. Major H. C. Macarthur is named as a candidate supervisor for the project.
