My Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of April 25th, in which you seek my position on four questions af fecting North Carolina citizens that may come before the coming General Assembly. It would be vastly unfair to myself and the public for me to answer these questions "yes" or "no."

They informed! the Board that the Junior Woin-I an's League bad fed seventy-five under nourished school children at the Mills High School during t'his school term and hoped to feed one hundred under nourish ed children next year. They in formed the Board that they would nefd more funds next year than they had used during the present year. Mr. W. L. Lumpkin advised the Hoard that he was not under the impression that Mie I.ouisburg Theatre had pledged $200.00 to the Town of Louisburg Charity Fund during the present school term 1939-1940. He informed the Board that due to a tremen dous decrease in revenue and in crease in competition that* the Louisburg Theatre is unable to give $200.00 to the Charity Fund for the 1939-40 school term. He requested the Board not to pass an Ordinance to close all theatres in (-lie Town of Louisburg on Sun days. and thereby encourage our citizens to go to other neighbor-( iug towns and cities for the pur-j pose of attending a Sunday pic ture show. Other prominent citi zens requested the Hoard not t-o pass an ordinance that would close our theatres oil Sunday. Some member* of tlie Board, mid oilier citizens were under the! impression thai the Louisburg Tlieutre had agreed to contribute $2011.00 lo the Louisburg Charity I'll lid for the school term of litU'.i l!i 40. although no specific agree ment between" the Louisburg Theatre and the Hoard of Town Commissioners was entered into at t'he beginning of the present school term. The Hoard discussed this situation thoroughly from every angle and agreed that since a misunderstanding had arisen between the Town of Louisburg and the I. oil is burg Theatre in re-j gard to t lie donation by the man agement' of said Theatre to the Charity Fund of the Town of Louisburg. iu connection with the operation of Sunday shows, it was mutually agreed between rep resentatives of the Theatre and; the Hoard that, upon the volun tary donation to The Charity Fund of said Town of the sum of $100. iio in full settlement of any and all claims which the Town might have against said Theatre under any alleged agreement, no further action In regard to the operation of Sunday shows be ta ken by this present Board. Dr. K. K. Yarhorough informed t'he llourd that sanitary conditions in some cafes iu Louisburg are atrocious, and dangerous to the health of the community. He re quested the Hoard to take action to rehiedt these conditions. Minutes of previous meetings were read and> approved. Monthly reports of the Town Clerfi, Tax Collector.

The Fire Committee was In- ! structed to consult applicants for! the position of Assistant Fireman and ascertain if it Is possible to i secure t<wo assistant firemen who j will agree to alternate on the job. After considering bids on the audit for the fiscal year ending! June 30, 1940, the contract for the audit was" awarded to Wil liams & Wall, C.P.A.. for the sum of $175.00. A motion was passed tojwjr Mr. M. S. Davis $400.00 On his con bract as Architect and Supt. on the Munlclpar Building, not later tban August 1, 1940.
