Financing plan to raise 30000 for fair association
Approval was given for a financing plan to raise $30,000 for the Fair Association by the fair board yesterday afternoon. The plan calls for selling 200 trust certificates of $150 each to clear all indebtedness and leave a surplus of about $5,000 plus $15,000 in trust funds. The funds would earn 6 percent, providing $900 yearly income to purchase group insurance for buyers. After 40 years or on a purchaser’s death, the $150 value is repaid, leaving the fair with the remaining balance, with an estimated end-40-year balance of $14,353.75 and the original $15,000 intact. The loan structure aims to clear debt and repay loans, funded by 200 county buyers, under insurance standards supplied by the General Organization Company of Chicago, which will oversee a drive for the 200 certificates in about two weeks.
