Praised Highly.

st. Paul. Dec. lS.-Excellent manage
ment, books correct. funds thoroughly
safeguarded, with little room for i'm
proyement, in methods now in vogue,
is in brief the report of the auditing
board headed by Ii. w. Grimmer, ex-
ecutivc clerk to Governor Johnson
that has just closed an examination of
the state fair books and finances. The
committee making the examinations in
addition TO Mr.. Grimmer, consisted of
T.. l.. Erickson and c. NJ. Leibrook,
the latter an insurance agent.
Receipts for the year were compu-
ted at 1921 ,sO0.03 with disbursements
aggregating $2i6.03426. The fair board
of managers has IL balance of $4,000
and S45,7G5.T of the amount is de-
posted in Various banks over the
state, mostly those in which mem
hers OF the boards are directors or
hold stock. st. Paul banks are con-
spicuous by their absence from the
list. Minneapolis banks carry $4,000
of the fund.
Speaking of the fair and its man
agement. Mr.. Grimmcr. chairman of
the auditing board, waxed eloquent.
He declared the management perfect
and Secretary Cosgrave the right man
in the right place He is on the
job all the time said Mr.. Grimmer
Concerning the secretary and trea-
surer and their methods or doing bust

I'VE found that both offices were
conducted with excellent judgment,
and in IL manner to which no legiti-
mate criticism could attach. 4 new

ceipts are given by the treasurer, one
to be retained by him, one to be
retained by the person making the
payment, and the third to be filed in

Provision, as suggested. has been
made for proper office room for the
treasurer in the administration build
ing at the fair grounds; new and
thoroughly complete system has been
installed in the handling. sale and ac-

The management OF the street car
company states that pucball is one OF
the oldest and most careful motormen
on the line, and has had the Main
street run for Il long time. The mo-
tormaD's statement is that he re.
sersed the power when he saw that the
boy WAS determined to cross the track
ahead OF the car. but that the car slid
along and struck the horse. When the
controller was picked up after theN acct
dent, ii was found to be reversed
which substantiates the statement oil
the motorman. The management has
learned that Maxfeld, when near the
car track, urged the horse forward to
tits fastest speed, either for the pur.
pose of crossing ahead of the ear, or
as some witnesses think, with a view
to distaneing some boys who were try.
/ ing to get upon the sleigh, and not
seeing the car.
