A. Il. NICHOLAS, JR., Sec.
To the Otficers and Members OF Char
levoix Agricultural Society:
We submit the following report OF
our Improvements on the Fair Grounds
at East Jordan, Mich. As nearly as
possible we have completed the cost
of various improvements and fnd
them To be as follows:
Dining hall and dwelling. -. 665 90
Barn for trOtting horses 36x66
feet. Barn for cattle
32xlOO feet and exhibition
barn for horses 33xl00 feet,
also the reshinging and
painting of Floral Hall.
This work was all done by
the day and under the di-
rection OF Fl. B. Hipp aud
at a cost for labor of. .... 1000 OO
And material purchased . .s-{ 6Sl 90
Also grading street in FAIR
grounds. 115 90
s25Sl 90
These bills are all paid but a lcmber
bill OF sl6O 90. and the money drawn
from the general fund.
We were welt pleased with the
manner In which the people subscrib'
ed to our building fund and resulted
In collecting sl066. 90 which was plac'
ed 10 the general fund and used 10
the course OF the improvements made.
We feel that another barn for sheep
and swine should be built this season
and would cost about $500 90, with
necessary water supply the same al
the other barns have.
While a new grand stand Is a neces'
ity Ia the near future and would be
good investment, yet we think it besl
To wait another year and then teal
