The fair plant OF the Grady County

plans decided upon. is to be put IN
shape to accommodate the free fair
at an additional expense OF about
50, 900.
Believe Amount Assured.
F. NJ. Frey. Of the Grady County
Park association. reported to the
board OF directors OF the chamber of
commerce that an amount Of approx.
mately $4,000 would he required to
finish the fence. construct the race
track and build another building, the
same to be stock pavilion. The :
necessary work he outlined also
called for the completion OF the in
terror of the building recently con-
structed on the fair property. The
$4,000 necessary TO the completion
of the plant, was explained. is In
addition to some cash on hand and
found to he derived through the sale
of advertising for the fence.
A plan by which II Is believed
that the necessary amount can be
raised was proposed as follows: 1t
was proposed that 90 notes of $500
Ich be prepared and that each Of
the five banks In Chickasha take
four of these notes and advance
$1,000 making total of $4,000 to
be turned over to the Grady County
Park association to be used in COM
pleting the plant. Each OF the 20
notes are to be endorsed by a man
acceptable to the banks. The notes
are to be of 30 day duration, but
renewable for a year. The plan also
calls for the turning over OF all net
receipts ACQUIRING through the activi
ties OF the Grady County Park as
sociation from races, shows, conces-
sions. etc. to the liquidation of these
notes.
15SGndorsers Secured.
At the meeting last night, IS busi-
ness men Of Chickasha expressed
their willingness to endorse the notes
in question. They are: G. B. Hanna,
G. Y. Melton. Geo. H. Evans, J. w.
Conner, Ben F. Morgan, Ed Foster,
Dave C. Hybarger, Earl Barton, Phil
G. Kidd, A. B. Leeds, Fred M. Frey,
H. A. Stephenson. L. c. Hutson,
Oscar Early and J. w. Wilson.
1t is up to the chamber Of COM
merce to get the other five men to
endorse the proposed paper and it
was the opinion Of the chamber Of
ficials this morning that no trouble
would be experienced in getting the
necessary endorsements.
This plan, 1t was decided at the
meeting, seemed to be the only one
In sight for the raising Of the neces-
sary funds as the sale of stock in the
Grady County Park association has
wavered and has come practically
to a standstill. A recent drive, it
was stated. resulted in the sale of
$1,000 worth Of stock for cash with
about $400 in notes.
Would Give Plant.
The successful elimination of the
proposed plans, would give the asso-
clation ample funds to put the fair
in shape to handle the best fsir
that Grady county has ever staged.
This was the opinion expressed by
officials of the Grady County Park
association.
