During his tenure he started the Golden Ox Restaurant in the stockyards the Livestock Exchange Building which developed fame for the Kansas City strip steak. He also dealt with the Great Flood of 1951 that destroyed the stockyards from which it never fully recovered. He once said about the stockyards: "There's nothing around here I haven't done...from shoveling manure to cleaning the sewers." Following the flood he was instrumental in locating what would become Kansas City International Airport to his native Platte County to replace the Fairfax Airport which had been damaged in the flood. He worked the Kansas City office of the United States Army Corps of Engineers to build a series of reservoirs in Missouri and Kansas including Smithville Lake Dillingham donated stockyards land to the American Royal and for Kemper Arena. Interstate 670 in Kansas and Missouri is named for him. (en)
