April
Twenty-fourth
Nineteen seventeen
Mr. A. M. Breece,
Pembroke, N. C.
Dear Mr. Breece:
In compliance with your request of April 19th the Governor is today issuing commissions to the officers of Pembroke.
I note that the bill authorizing the Governor to appoint your town officers states that he may name a mayor and four commissioners. However, your petition asks for only three commissioners. If you want a fourth one appointed, send in his name, and a commission will be issued. I thought that you might have overlooked the fact that the bill entitled you to four.
Yours very truly,
Private Secretary.
