Fairgrounds From Air: The Washtenaw County Fair Society has offered to sell the Fairgrounds, shown in this aerial view, to the city of Ann Arbor for $127,500. Some 40 acres of the property would be usable for the recreational and athletic plant long dreamed of by city and school officials. Plans now in the discussion stage include construction of an outdoor municipal swimming pool, a football stadium, baseball fields and other creational facilities. The Ann Arbor Fire Commission has tentatively suggested the southwest corner of the property (indicated by the "X" [not pictured here]) as the site for a new fire station. The Fairgrounds is bordered by Jackson Ave. on the south (running along right edge of picture), Dexter Rd. on the north (just above racetrack), Maple Rd. on the west (across center of picture), and an alley on the east (to the right of the top edge of racetrack and just beyond row of large Fairgrounds buildings).

Stadium Blvd. Filling Up: This stretch of highway on the west edge of the city of Ann Arbor is developing as a commercial and industrial area of some proportions. Current construction along the highway includes the addition to Woods Manufacturing Co. (bottom right), to be occupied by Michigan Chandelier Co.; a Packers Outlet structure and Speedway Petroleum Co. station, both farther up the road, and the controversial McMullen project (beyond the bend, at top center) which has been halted by city order. At that point is one of the suggested access routes for the new Detroit-Chicago Expressway. Even Sportsman's Park (center) may give way to progress, for it is reported that it has been listed for sale. But any new construction projects will have to wait the lifting of federal restrictions. Already a wholesale house has had its plans knocked out. It has shelved a warehouse and office building job here "for the duration."

NEW VA HOSPITAL: This Ann Arbor News aerial photo shows the progress on the new Veterans Administration Hospital now under construction at the northeast edge of the city. Officials of the J. D. Hedin Construction Col contractors for the project, report the outside brickwork practically complete. The small building in the right foreground in this picture looking east, is an apartment building, to be used for supervisory personnel of the hospital. Building to the left of it is for nurses' quarters, and the tiny building beyond that is a pump house. The other separate building in extreme left background is for attendants' quarters. Stack in background rises from the hospital's power plant.
