Total disbursements.

In connection with this report few
words of explanation may assist those
interested, in gaining some idea of the
amount of work necessary to success
fully conduct such an enterprise:
w. d. Royce, manager of the fair,
was in the employ of the association
for eleven weeks, devoting his entire
time and attention to this work, and to
him, more than any other individual
connected with the fair, belongs the
credit Of making 1t success. Indeed,
the association regards the money paid
him for his services as the best invest
ment made during all its transactions.
He was also assisted by his wife, who
devoted six weeks of her time to pre-
pairing premium list and filling the
office of entry clerk. The board of
directors we're fortunate In securing
the services of w. f. Billiard as chair
man of the advertising committee,
most important factor In all enterprises
Of this character.

1t Is conceded that no fair III central
Michigan was so thoroughly advertised
and certainly the story of what Owosso
intended to do toward entertaining her
guests was told in every house within a
radius of 80 miles.
Mr.. Billiard gave this task his per-
sonal attention. devoting to it all of his
spare hours for weeks, with no other
reward than that of seeing the thou
sands of visitors crowd our streets in
answer to the invitations sent out by
his committee.
The same may be said of each of the
officers and board of directors, who
neglected personal business to devote
their time to the fair work No other
compensation than that of seeing sue
cess crown their efforts.
Considering the fact that no member
of the organization had had experience
in the street fair business it is not at all
strange that some mistakes were made,
and that those mistakes cost money,
there can be no doubt.
IT'S believed that a street fair in 80
equally as .good as that of '9s, in every
particular, can be given at cost of
from $500 to $500 less than our first
venture.
1t is not the intention of the associa-
ton, however, to apologize for the
manner in which the none y was spent,
| for of the 50, $40 30 expended, 81, 1926. 32
was spent for labor and material at
home, the remainder being expended
for attractions and advertising. The
amount expended for labor was dis
tributed among 20 residents of our city,
many of whom were out of employment
at the time, enabling them to meet
their obligations, in part at least, with
the business men who had created the
fair fund.
Owing to the bad weather of the last
day of the fair the association sustained
a loss of 1925 on privileges, and to meet
that loss the board of directors were
compelled to increase their personal
subscriptions. Still when our business
men remember that our neighbors went
home feeling that they had been well
repaid for their visit, and that they
would surely come again, then it will
appear that the fair was not a failure,
and that it was worth the price and
effort after all.

Financial Statement of the Owosso Street
Far.

The following statement of the finan-
cial affairs of the Owosso Free Street
Fair Association is, in the judgment of
the officers and board of directors, due
Owosso citizens who SO generously con-
tributed with both money anu labor to
make our first street fair success.
If this were the only object. however
more condensed statement would suf-
flee, but in venture of this nature,
where the organization was but tenn
porary and where the sole object was
to bring the people to our city and to
entertain them while here. then the
management cannot afford to be salts
fed with anything short of a complete
statmemt, such as we endeavor to give
below:

Failure at Lonu Branch.

Creditors of Il. Con Morford OF Long
Branch, dealer in dry goods and gro
ceries, have filed petition IN the
bankruptcy court to have him de-
clared a bankrupt and to prevent the
execution of judgments secnred by
persons whom, it is claimed, he has
preferred. The creditors institntlng
the proceedings are New YORK wnoie
sale houses. They claim he owes
than $4,000. The complaint sets
forth that in the middle Of October,
while insolyent, he executed chatfel
mortgages to his wife and TO one
Henry W. johnson, and that he con-
yeyed much of his real estate to Thom,
as W. Cooper. Later, he admitted
judgments to other creditors whom
he wanted to prefer. The failure is
said to be due to bad debts.
