Business Record

Continued from Page u
AN expert in conduct of such eX-
positions. and has turned down
at least three lucrative offers from
other fair boards this year, incluo-
ing one from state fair, in order
to remain in Imperial county.
Newspaper representatives agreed
that the county fairs flnanclai
statement reflects the efficiency
with which it has been conducted.
The financial statement was Civ
en- by President Hulse at the an
nual meeting when fair board
members outline TO newspapers
plans for the mid-Winter eXposi-
ton. which opens this year on
March 4 The meeting. attended by
at least one representative from
every daily and weekly newspaper
in Imperial Valley. was largely
taken up by a discussion of techni-
cal plans for the fair, which again
will feature the agricultural motif.
Hulse's report. however. dealt
largely with history of the fair
since it was reorganized in 1928
after several unsuccessful attempts
TO make it county institution.
In 1929 the fair was $1,000 in the
hole. Members of the fair board
as individuals guaranteed payment
of the debt in order to continue
the fair
Our faith in the future of In
perial Valley, and in its possibilities
as an agricultural area, leo us to
take this action" Hulse said. That
faith has been proved we'll founded
by the fact that today our fair
is recognized as the best in the
state. And today we owe no debts,
and our cash balance is S25,0oO,
including $4,000 cash on hand. sl2,-
600 cash credit with the state and
a building fund of $4,000 set aside"
Hulse emphasized that jobs at
the county fair are not regarded
as political pluIns. No member of
the fair board, 10 his knowledge,
has ever asked that any friend of
his be employed there, HulSe de-
clared. Secretary Manager Stewart
hires and fires all employees.
Efficient operation is all the fair
board asks" Hulse said.
Summarized, Hulse's report said
that:
A total of 469 1866 persons have
attended 1850 events at the county
fair in the past nine years. Build
ing valuation of the fair is Sl72, 800.
Valuation Of Improvements on the
grounds is $4,000. It would cost
$4,000 to replace equipment, and
$4,000 to replace the grandstand
The land has an estimated value
of $4,000.
This makes a grand total in
assets of s266.32O. with no out
standing debts
During the nine years the total
amount raised by tax levy for the
or 10 cents per acre for one year
fair has been approximately s45 900
on all cultivated acreage in the
valley-or one cent per acre per
year for the period covered.
At the same time the fair has
distributed to local exhibitors S42,-
848.2l, or almost as much as the
tax total amounts to. The balance
has been paid for out of admis-
sions. entrance fees and other re-
ceipts.

istry, it was understood, and will
be presented to the Diet or par

How stupendouS the estimates
really are was shown by compari-

totals slO06,6l5.000 - including
many items of military nature such
as air corps training, anti-aircraft
defense, military relief, wartime
