Washington,
North Carolina

Dear Edmund:

I have asked Claude Love to confer with Mr. Gill
and then write you what will be necessary in order to have
available for local expenditure the moneys provided for the
Bath celebration.

There will, I think, have to be an accounting for
the funds and perhaps the State Auditor will make an audit
some time before the end of the fiscal year after the expendi-
tures have been made. Since the State moneys will constitute
only a part of the expenditures, it may be that separate
accounts should be kept of expenditure of State moneys.

Mr. Gibbs might find it advisable to talk with Mr.
Henry Bridges, State Auditor, to ascertain his views about
handling and accounting for the funds.

Of course, I shall be happy to extend an invitation
to the Council of State to attend, but it seems to me that it
would be highly desirable if the Commission or Mr. Brooks as
Mayor would write to the following State officials:

Edwin Gill, Treasurer

Toad Bure, Secretary of State

Henry Bridges, Auditor |

Dr. Charles P, Carroll, Superintendent of Public
Instruction

Charles F. Gold, Commissioner of Insurance

Frank Crane, Commissioner of Labor 7

L. ¥. Ballentine, Commissioner of Agriculture

These constitute the Council of State. Certainly an
invitation should be extended to:

Luther Barnhardt, Concord, Lt. Governor
Le I. Moore, Speaker of the House of Representatives.
