$110 per person general admission — tax included —and $330 for clubhouse the management received almost $17500 daily from the spectators or more than $900000 for the season Parking of 61 automobiles is estimated at an additional $32000 Private estimates are that the customers 'paid $75000 a day The sum an aggregate $4000000 for eleven weeks of racing includes only admissions and the 10 per cent “Take” divided 0 between the Los Angeles Turf club and the state of California If “breakage” parking and concessions (refreshments etc) were added the figure probably would approach $5000000 60-4- EXPENSES REN HIGH Of course this is not all “gravy” for the track management There are a good many offsets For example there are the purses which this year totalled' three quarters of a million and next year according to announced intention will total a million This year the minimum purse was $1000 and the range was’ up to $100000 Next year the lowest purse will Conservative estimates place holders at $3000000 For the 1936-3- 7 $1770570 mutuel “take” at 6 per be according to present $1200 plans The state received $1180380 for licensing the track on a 4 per cent basis Several hundred thousand dollars were spent in 7 improvements for the 1936-3- meeting and a million dollars is to be devoted to beautifying the 450 acres on which the plant is situated for next season’s meet- ing the revenue of the track stock- operation This is based on a cent $900000 In admissions and the rest in “breakage’ concessions and parking So for an enterprise which is only three years old and one which
