State Fair Officials Working Hard in Detroit
Michigan state fair officials and volunteers organize the 1918 exhibit to be held at the fair grounds in Detroit from September 6 to 15. Led by secretary George W. Dickinson, a broad slate of officers and directors across Flint, Dimondale, Bay City, Sandusky, Jackson, Sault Ste. Marie, and Detroit coordinate preparations. Former presidents are named, and the piece notes ongoing duties and leadership roles. It also covers a separate public dispute over who may supervise the appraisal of the Michigan State Telephone company, with State Railroad Commission Chair Glasgow insisting the appraisal be state supervised, not city or company controlled, and that the state pay the bills. The city’s Corporation Counsel Dingeman sought city-led oversight, but the commission awaits a designated appraiser and report from a council committee.
