JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Attorney General Chris Koster proposes to use money recovered from consumer fraud cases to help pay for a $3.2 million renovation of his staff's office. Koster said Wednesday that the remodeling would spruce up a long-neglected part of the Broadway State Office Building, complementing repairs made over the past couple years to the building's leaking windows and roof.
At least one state senator questioned whether it would be a wise use of money to remodel an office, especially as the state is considering cuts to colleges, universities and other services because of a state budget shortfall.

ST. LOUIS WORLD'S FAIR PICTURE 1904
The 1904 World’s Fair was held in St. Louis, centered on Forest Park (one of country’s largest urban parks — larger than New York’s Central Park), and remnants of the fair can still be seen today.
The fair was originally scheduled for 1903 to celebrated the centennial of the Louisiana Purchase and was also known as the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. The celebration was pushed back a year because of delays in construction and the delivery of exhibits. In preparation for the fair, Forest Park was transformed from thickets and swamps into a great landscaped exhibition area
