IN THE PURCHASE OF FAIR
GROUNDS.

Some fifteen months ago at a stock
holders meeting of the Fair d Park
Association the Board of Directors
were empowered and authorized to
dispose of the fairgrounds. The finan-
,cial statements from year to year
showed conclusively that the enter
prise was losing proposition. No
criticism was offered to the directors,
and it was admitted generally that
they had done their duty in trying
to make the venture success. The
public failed to give the necessary
support, there being entirely too
many corn and poultry shows and
other exhibits at different points in
the county throughout the year to
permit of the Capitalization of inter
est in a county fair necessary to as
sure its financial success. At one
time the Commercial Club was APP
pealed to and donations were received
for the purpose of dcfraying the cX-
pcnse of flying machine feature
Bad weather, small attendance and
other advcrsities caused losses at
almost every fair.
These conditions were fairly placed
before the stockholders at meeting
called for the purpose of considering
the finances of the association, and
the directors were instructed to nego-
tiatc with the city for the purchase
of the grounds The Commercial
Club was requested to take hold of
the proposition in conjunction with
its park plans, and at different meet
ings of the club, the matter was con-
side ed but no definite action was
ever taken. The Directors saw that
the Commercial Club could not offer
them any relief, so they proceeded to
find out what consideration the city
would give to the proposition, and
they asccrtaincd that the city was
anxious to acquire the property for
public use. There has never been
any question raised as to the value
of the grounds, 1t is generally con-
coded by the great aIority OF the
people that the grounds are worth
much more than the amount asked,
at which price, S35,OO0O0 the stock
holders are only receiving their orIgi-
nal investment and six per cent,
compound interest thereon.
The books Of the Association are
open for public inspection, and the
closest scrutiny is invited The price
of S35, 900 for which the park is
offered to the city is n most at
tractivc one and there is no doubt
but that it will be accepted
