McKay Salem (UP) It's up to Gov. Douglas McKay whether or not there wil be a horse show at the State Fair next Novem ber. Dr. E. B. Stewart, Roseburg, chairman of the State Fair board, appeared before the State Emergency board at its last meeting here and asked either an appropriation from the gov ernor's emergency fund of $100, 000 to build new stables for the horse show or $35,000 to cover the cost of building a series of ramps from the stadium, extend ing over the horse stalls and out of the building. Stadium Condemned Dr. Stewart said the state fire marshal has condemned the sta dium for use under present con ditions for a horse show. The show horses have been kept in stalls directly under the grand stands, and the fire marshal said in event of fire, there was dan ger that spectators and horses, panic stricken would mingle as both leave by the same exits, and casualties would almost cer tainly result. It became known Tuesday that the horse show, always one of the major attractions of Ore gon's State fair, will not be held this year unless new stabling quarters can be built.

The governor has the authority to override the recommendation of the emergency board, and to ap propriate the necessary money to save the horse show. Dr. Stewart said if the requested $100,000 should be granted, to gether with other funds now in the hands of the fair board, a new barn could be built with 250 stalls, in accordance with plans drawn by a Salem archi tect and which Dr. Stewart said Cost of Living In Capital High .
