Meigs County Fair Loses Per Capita Certificate
Ohio Department of Agriculture Director John T. Brown refused to issue a per capita certificate to the Meigs County Agricultural Society after a protest by six Meigs County taxpayers. The ruling cites unsigned 1938 certificates and violations of Ohio law, though the fair itself may still be held. County funds for 1938 are not available due to the lack of a per capita certificate.
