We'll to Consider

This being so il will be well for those property owners who find their assessment doubled to stop and con- slider that this will not mean that their tax burden will be enhanced. When the amount k more than dou- bled the property owner can make up his mind that his property has not been in the list heretofore at a fair market value In many instances the assessors believe that the property owner will find that. although his assessment has been quite materially increased. he will pay less amount
 n taxes in the future than Tn the past. This. of course, Is based on the fact that the tax rate will be cut in half. or nearly SO. Before rushing to thc board of relief the property owner should seriously consider hls situation from all angles after he receives no lie, of the change in his assessment value for taxation purposes

Minnesota Has
Great State Fair

The Minnesota State Fair, known
throughout the nation as ''The Worlds
Greatest State Fair" is Minnesota
institution of vast magnitude, and
which, each September, brings hun
dreds of thousands of visitors to the
famous grounds at Hamline, midway
between downtown ST. Paul and down.
town Minneapolis.
Covering 270 acres and with fixed
investment in buildings of $1,000, 900,
this great fair ground offers splen-
did field in which each year to review
Minnesota's resources and the pro-
gress of its citizens in farming, IN
manufacturing and commerce.
For number of years now, against
the keen competition of many other
states, the big Minnesota fair has
held its place as the worlds greatest
state fair.
Last year, the Minnesota fair was
first by several thousand dollars In
premiums awarded and by several
hundred in the number of exhibitors.
A total of $141,OOO was given in
prizes to Minnesota residents for ex-
cellence of products and more than
5000 exhibitors, from nearly every
state in the country, displayed their
goods here.
For the 1927 Fair, a total of $145,-
600 has been set aside by the board OF
directors as prize money, and many
hundreds of exhibitors, in addition to
those who maintain regular space on
the Fair Grounds, have applied for
concessions.
From a small pumpkin fair of a
few scattered exhibits, with a prize
list aggregating less than 500 and
and attendance under 1000, the Min
nesota State Fair has grown to its
present magnitude.
Nearly 100000 persons, 44O, 97(
to be exact-haye attended the Mime
sofa State Fair in the past 10 years.
This is nearly twice the population OF
the entire state, and gives an idea OF
what the people think of this big edu
cational institution. No other insti
tuition has rssore enthusiastic support
ers or is mere Loyalty supported thar
the State Fair.
The 1926 Minnesota State Fair was
a $2O,O00yS0O exposition, that vividly
portrayed the agricultural and indus
trial development of the great North
west.
An idsa of the immensely of the
State Far can be CLEANED from tn
fact that every foot of space in tn
27O-acre plot, which is the Fail
Grounds, was occupied by buildings
and exhibits of some kind or other
From the little pumpkin fair, wit
only tents for shelter, the State Fai
has grown until today it has grow
until its buildings are valued at 81,
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1927-05-25
100000.

While the 1926 fair showed an oper-
ating loss, due to rain on three days,
it was by all odds the biggest and
best fair yet staged. The quality and
quantity of exhibits, in virtually every
department, exceeded those of other
years.
The 1926 shortage was made up
from the cash reserve fund which the
Fair has built up from profits OF other
years. The management went into
the 1926 fair with reserve fund OF
$4,000. This sum, of course, was
considerably reduced in the fall OF
1926, but there is still a tidy sum on
hand for this falls fair.
Approximately S1,000,000 in profits
has been made by the State Fair
the past 10 years. This money has
all gone back into new buildings, i'm
provements and maintenance, the
management virtually matching dol
lar for dollar every cent appropriated
by the State Legislature.
