Des Moines, Aug. s0.--According TO
the figures now at hand the sixty-fifth
Iowa state fair and exposition, whlch
closed Friday, will make a profit OF
from $50, 900 to $4,000. The receipts
will total around $780, 200, and the ex-
pendttures will amount to about $40
900.
This is more money than the Iowa
state fair has ever made In any year
Of It's history. altho year ago the net
profits were $4,000. The fair manage
ment says IL will not be enough to
provide the improvements necessary
on the grounds.
The new cattle barn for which the
legislature last winter appropriated
$3.50, 900 will cost 100000, the man
agement states. The tearing down OF
the old cattle sheds will begin at once.
now that this years fair Is over, ana
as much Of the new barn as possible
will DO built before cold weather
comes. The building will be completed
by next fair time.
The purchase Of the ground to the
north Of the race track for an aviation
field and 70 provide additional car
parking space cost the management
$4,000 more than had been counted
on. Il viii also require some expen-
ditures for Improvements.
Then the fair board declares that
two or moro additional steel wings
should be added to the grandstand.
~ a.
stand. bleachers and paddock in front
were filled to capacity. At times the
crowds could not be accommodated.
The attendance has outgrown the ca
pacity of tho amphitheater. the man
agement believes, hence an addition Of
one wing on each side is necessary
and at the high price Of steel will be
costly.
Expenditures Heavy.
The fair boards expenditures this
year were heavy. The total premium
offerings amounted to 100000. The
pay roll most OF the summer and dur
ing the fair was heavy. The attrac-
tons, especially for music and avia-
ton. were costly. Improvements to
the present buildings and new side
walks cost q big sum- Hence the cost
Of putting on the fair viii mount up
to about $4,000.
Fair officers say also they hope to
see the day when they can have a
working balance In the treasury. More
than once the directors have person
ally had to sign notes to carry the fair
thru when bad weather has cut short
tho attendance and kept down the re-
ceipts. They say they would like to
see the time como when this would be
insured Against.
