<br />
<br /> ~th "The sudden 'end of the War found the Federal Government curtail-

<br /> The Federal Government by the attached letter has agreed ~o
<br />forward the $19,OOO.00, plus a recommendation for some additional fuhds to tide u~ through the
<br />sumn~~ season.
<br /> The grants Were divided into quarters on an equal basis and our
<br />heaviest expenditure is in the third quarter during the summer season. Therefore, the funds
<br />not arrifing from the Federal Governmen~ necessitates a special appropriation of $1,3OO.OO ~o
<br />meet a payroll due August 23rd.
<br /> In the event that the aforementioned money has not been received
<br />from the Federsl Govarnment in time Tot current payrolls, it will be necessary to have a fur -
<br />ther temporary appropriation of $5,1OO.OO to meet t~ese payrolls. However, it is our hope that
<br />the funds will be here prior to that date. Whatever funds are appropriated can be returned as
<br />soon as ~he check from the Treasurer of the U~ited States Government has been received."
