LEGISLATURE OF 1927
* • r EXPENSIVE TO STATE
Fantras Economy Body Did Not Hold
Down Its Own Expense Account.
News and Observer.
The $12,568 bonus voted by the
last Legislattiye in bonuses to its em
ployee put it the top as the most
expensive General Assembly in the
i history of the state.
The T combined expenses for the 1924
special session and the 15)25 regu.ar
session amounted to $165,528 and the
bills already paid for the 1927 Leg
islature bring the total to $165,000,
and there are still some outstanding
accounts.
The estimated expenses of the 1927
session, outside of printing, estimated
at $116,754. and the actual amount
paid out so far is $129,257-31, the dif
ference being $12,493, which il al
most * identically the same as .the
amount of bonuses paid. If no bonuses
had been paid, the estimate would
have been substantially correct.
The Legislature appropriated $125,-
000 for its expenses, and this amount
has already been exceeded by $5,000.
If no bonus had been paid, there
would have been a balance left; a6 it
stands there is a deficit.
Original estimate as to the cost of
printing was $50,000, which was sub
sequently reduced to $31,500. The
printing bills are not yet all available,
but the printing costs will run up to
$35,000. This will bring the total
to $165,000, but there are other items
to be paid that will bring it in ex
cess of that amount. The various
items follow :
Printing (estimate) ....$35,000.00
Enrolling office (both
houses) 10,661.85
Investigations (visiting
State institutions) 627.19

THE COaCCfcfi TIMES
———-
FAIR THIS YEAR
WILL BE BIGGEST
IN ITS HISTORY
Many New and Better At
tractions Will Be Added
at 1927 County Fair, Is
Announcement made.
The Cabarrus County Fair, which
will be held this year October 11th to
15th, will be the biggest and best in
the history of Cabarrus fairs, it was
announced here today by an official of
the Cabarrus County Fair Associa
tion. ,
In speaking of the 1927 fair, the -
official said: “There is no doubt but
flint, the Cabarrus County Fair this
year will be the largest in the South, j
We have strengthened every phase of
fair, and have added new and*larger
attractions. Due to the fact that
the attractions at the fair this year
will be so much lai’ger, it will neces
sitate the moving of many of the home
concessions to make more—room for
the big attractions.” /
The Rubin-Cherry Company, the
largest organization that will play in
the South this year, will be at the lo
cal fair offering a midway that will
be twice as large as any that has
previously played here. This com
pany carries about forty cars of par
aphernalia, and the Cabarrus fair will
be the only stop it will make in this
state. They will play the Virginia
State Fair the week before and the
South Carolina State Fair the week
after they are here, it was said.
The free acts are all booked and
the fair will have this year the biggest
line of free attractions ever held here,
it was stated. Some of the attrac
tions booked are: “The Riding Roon
eys” in a feature act. This troupe
will come direct from the Reading,
Pa., Fair, and will return immediate
ly after the fair here to Allentown,
Pa., this being their only appearance
in the south. “Fred’s Pigs,” the edu
cated pigs. This attraction was with
the Barnum and Bailey circus for a
number of years. “Gaudsmitlis ’, a
comedy acrobatic act which features
all kinds of acrobatic stunts, air cir
cles and flips in the air; "Matson’s
Comedy Dogs." a group of educated
dogs in an act; “Levan Rome and
Van,” a comedy acrobatic troupe with
lots of stunts; “La Noles," in the
famous high ladder act, which is a
thriller: and “Chic Ovorfield” in a
tight wire performance.
The fireworks, always oue of the
chief attractions at the fair, will be
put on by the Ohio Display Fireworks
Company, and a complete change of
program will be offered each night of
the fair, it was said.
Last ear six counties competed for
premiums offered at the fair. The
counties were: Cabarrus, Rowan,
Stanly, Mecklenburg, Iredell and Un
ion. This year three more counties
have been added to the list, Mont
gomery, Anson and Davie, which
.makes a total of nine counties that
will obuipete l this year.
It Is planned that this year the
■ community singing contest will be
■made one of the main features of the
fair. This contest was held last year
and much interest was manifested.
The schools of the city and county
have asked for more room this year
and it will be given them, it was said.
, This promises that there will be more
exhibits offered than ever before.
Also the Berkshire hog show, which
has always attracted much interest,
will be on a greater scale, and many
hogs will be exhibited.

said by Mr. Coitrtuey.
As last week wits Holy- week, the
subjects at the morning services
dwelt about the Cross of Christ,
which was very fitting during the,
week preceding Easter, the day

up of the congregations attending .has
taken place, and the services were a
great success in every way.”
