IoutSct OF his battle with the

due to the tremendous debt in

tended that the Indebtedness

not been for an over-enthusi-

to gain the supper of the citi-
zens.
DIR. R. M. Williamson, Chair
nan of the County Board of Ed
ucation pointed out that last

especially to discuss the lunch
room situation ut Tabor City.
The meeting was necesSitated by
the opening of school today and
tie Board was required to ap-
prove the various school facult-
les submitted by principals from
throughout the county.
The Board conducted a Dor
ton of its meeting in the Edu-
cation Building prior to moving
over to the Courthouse where
they met with the Board of
Commissioners and discussed
the lunchroom situation at the
Tabor City School
1t was believed .hat the orig
inal intention was to seek aid
from the Board OF Commission
ers in restoring TINS money TO
prevent possibilities Of til e.

After the attorneys for the two
Boards stated that there we're
no funds available for such al
move there were no further re-
quests that the Boards help
make up this deficit.

Dear Mr.. Guy:

Lunch operations at the Tabor
City High School fer the period

inclusive.
During our examination of the
records the following irregular
tiles and deficiencies were not
ed:
!. The verified income from
sale of lunches to students ex-
ceeded the reported amount by
$3.50. This difference resulted
from minor clerical errors in
the records
2. The verified All Other In
come exceeded the reported "a
mount by S352.4l This differ
ence resulted from clerical err
rorS, and the transfer of S364.4l
from the school account to the
lunchroom Sccour; subsequent
to the date the last claim was
and sent 10 the State
Agency.
3. The reported expenditures
fer food exceeded the verified
amount by S25.06. which re-
suited from clerical errors, and
the cost of non-foodI
items as food cost.
4. The verified All Other Ex-
penditures, Equipment and Mis-
cellaneOuS, exceeded the report
ed amount by S284.59. which
resulted from clerical errors and
not including all invoices in the
of expenses as report
ed on the monthly claims to the
State Agency.
). All expenditures were not
supported by dated and itemized
Invoices as required. No ex-I
pcnditure Of lunch funds is to-
be made, unless supported by
detailed invoices.
6. The operating paIance from,
prior periods, as shown by ap-
plIcation, exceeded the verified
balance by Sl9O.38.
The reason for this difference,
could not be determined without
Analysing records Of prior years.

actual bank balance of the COM
mingled bank account amounts
to only S5l4.84, or $;,653.84 less
than the amount that belongs to
the luncbroom. This means that
81 ,653.84 of lunchroom funds
have been used to pay bills of

not permissible. From our
standpoint the bank balance
must never be less than the
amount applicable TO the lunch
