DECLARED A DIVIDEND.
1ne Fair Surplus viii Net De Held as
Reserve Fund

Acting on the suggestion of one or
two subscribers, the dividend mes.
ton was discussed at the recent meet.
ing of the executive committee OF the
Now Mexico Territorial Fair associa.
tion. when the president and secre.
tary announced through their fnan.
clal report that there was surplus
over the expenditures of the last fair
to the amount of $S73.57. The report
was published Monday afternoon.
What to do with the surplus was
discussed pro and con. some intimat.
ing that 1t should be used to pay any
legitimate old accounts. others that
IL should be kept In bank to be turn
el over to the next fair officials, and
others. President Marion submitting
the Idoa, favored the u,videnu prop
o5ition.
Finally. the latter proposition pre-.
vailed. and today all subscribers to
the fair fund of this year are Teceiv.
ing is per cent OF their subscriptions,
the total amount OF subscriptions be-
ing si,5S5. as published in The Cit
izen OF Monday afternoon
one subscriber this morning. when
he received his pro rata check. stated
that he did not approve OF the idea.
for the reason that the surplus could
have been loaned out at s or 10 per
cent, and, in case the subscriptions
iall short next year, the reserve fund
could be called upon.
The Citizen. however thinks that
he dividend idea is a capital one. and
that the executive committee estab-
iishcd a very wise precedent.
