they consist of bonds in the principal sum of $500.00 and
approximately $1100.00 in cash on deposit. So you can see

we have some money with which to defray the expenses incident
to a foreign student. TI believe that the sum of some $200.00
was expended for that purpose.

I regret that /I have been delinquent in this particular,
but frankly I am still hopelessly ignorant as to the procedure
followed. Unfortunately the disposition of district funds
is not left in the hands of any Executive Committee with the
power to dispose of such funds. The district itself retains
that power and as the district meets in conference only once
a year it makes the disposition of those funds difficult. I
think though that Ynasmuch as for two years a student's expenses
of $200.00 were defrayed there would be implied authority to
do so again. At least I would approve it.

Accordingly, why don't you contact Werner and if the job
can still be done go ahead and do it or at least plan on it.

_I am returning the copy of Werner's letter to you.

Yours very truly,
