DISPOSAL OF SALVAGE OF LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION.

State of Missouri, City of St. Louis, ss: 

Before me, this the 16th day of March, 1905, personally appeared H.S.  Albrecht, who, being duly sworn, on his oath says: 

My name is H.S.  Albrecht.  I reside in St. Louis.  Have lived here the past twenty-five years.  I am engaged in business in St. Louis.  In regard to the sale of the salvage of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company I herewith make the following statement: 

When I saw by the papers that bids were requested for the wrecking and removal of certain exhibit buildings now on the World’s Fair grounds I decided that I would make a bid on same.  I submitted a bid on that part of the salvage to be disposed of as shown in the specifications prepared by Director of Works Taylor and on following buildings: 

Mines and Metallurgy; Liberal Arts; Education and Social Economy; Manufactures; Electricity; Varied Industries; Machinery; Transportation; Forestry, Fish, and Game; Agricultural; Horticulture; four dairy barns, octagonal; live-stock forum; Live-Stock Congress Hall; stock barns; Steam, Gas, and Fuel Building, and cooling towers; Festival Hall; terrace of States, including pedestals and statuary; two pagoda restaurant buildings on Art Hill; four fire-engine houses; five toilet-room buildings; five band stands.
