State Fair to charge 25 cents admission under Green plan
The Green administration in Springfield announces no passes for the State Fair this year with a 25 cent daily admission. Officials say funds come from recent appropriations while critics warn the policy will reduce attendance and fatten political payrolls. The annual fair budget shows slight reductions from 1939 figures, with potential biennial gains cited by supporters.
