The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1915-07-27

Probably no county fair organiza-
ton in the Pacific Northwest enjoys
such healthy condition in it's finan-
cial affairs as does the Latah County
Fair association, the financial state
ment of which has just been issued by
the officers. The chief item in the re-
port is the ownership of the fair
grounds of II acres which lies in the
heart of the city and but two blocks
from Main street and is regarded as
one of the most valuable pieces OF
property in the city. The value placed
on the property is $S879.57 while
against the property is mortgage of
S270O. This constitutes approximately
the entire Indebtedness of the associa-
ton.
1t is the purpose of the present
officers and directors to place the as
sociatiOn on a more substantial basis
and to that end a campaign will be
started soon with view of selling SUIT
ficient stock to lift the mortgage. The
able management under which the an
nual fairs have been held has resulted
in close attention to giving the peo-
pie the very best exhibition possible
without plunging the association into
debt and each year has seen increased
efficiency and better fairs with the re-
suit that the organization stands
eminent among the best of the kind
in the Northwest.
Plans have already been outlined for
improving the grounds and grandstand
with more stalls for live stock and
this expenditure will entail an outlay
of some $1,000 to $1,000. The associa-
ton is incorporated for $4,000. Of
this amount there has been sold $12,-
25625 worth of stock, leaving a bal
ance in the treasury of $12,744.75. The
statement in detail is as follows:
Assets-Treasury stock unsold, $12.-
74475; real estate, $SS79.57; improve
ments, $5737.98 office fixtures, So:
cash in banks, $553.16
