Raleigh. Sept. 12.—While some of
the information from counties, cities

concerning the extent of their relief
bdtigities from (January I to Sep- 1
tember I of this year, not enough of
this information has been received so
far to give anything like a complete
picture, according to Dr. Fred W.
Morrison, State director of relief. Un
til ail this information has been re
ceived and tabulated by months, and
until the estimates from the various
subdivisions of the relief needed from
now until January 1, also by months,
has been received and studied, it will
not be possible to determine how
much the State will need to borrow
from the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration for relief work. Dr. Mor
rison said.
"The'most difficult part of our work
yight now is getting anything like an
accurate report on what has been ex
pended for relief work in the various
counties, cities and towns month by
month since January 1.” Dr. Morrison
said. "In fact, many of these subdi
visions have kept no record of month
by-month expenditures for relief, since
appropriations have been made in
lump sums or funds have been raised
in lump sums.
