Committee on Administrative Code

The following report was made by Mrs. Lathrop for Judge Mintz, the Chairman of the above Committee:

Judge Mintz has asked me to express to you, first: his regret that he cannot be here today, and second: his pleasure that the Code Committee completed yesterday its draft of what we might now call the Five Year Report - and this draft will be in the mail to you within the week.

The Committee had hoped you might have copies today, but certain changes made yesterday necessitated some rearranging and retyping. This will cause only a slight delay.

Judge Mintz would ask that each of you study the draft carefully. Should you wish to discuss any part of it with the Committee - and we invite your counsel - will you notify Judge Mintz as quickly as possible - by September 22nd at the latest. He will then schedule a meeting of the Code Committee.

By acting as promptly as possible we hope to have the draft ready by early or mid-October to be mailed to all members of the full Board of Trustees. The Chairman will then be asked to call a special meeting of the Board, allowing at least 15 days' notice.

The Committee wishes to express its appreciation to Mr. Friday and the Consolidated office staff for their assistance and counsel, and especially to Mr. Claude Teague who was invaluable those five years ago when the Committee was appointed by Governor Hodges; and to Mr. Fred Weaver, who has joined the Consolidated staff and assisted us so patiently and so diligently in the more recent years of our work. We are grateful also to the members of the Board of Trustees who expressed their interest by word and letter, and particularly to Mr. Bryant, Mr. Hill, Mr. Pearsall, Mr. Harris, Mr. Rankin and Mr. Vatz, who came personally to meet and counsel with us.

Respectfully submitted,
Lunsford Crew
Ashley Murphy
John Umstead, and
Virginia Lathrop for Rudolph 1. Mintz, Chairman.
