The directors of Dunn Hospital, Inc. met today, and on behalf of the Corporation, I have been authorized and directed to state to you and your Board that it is agreeable with Dunn Hospital, Inc. for the Board of Commissioners of Harnett County to take the suggested action outlined in the letter of Col.

Re: County of Harnett, North Carolina County Hospital My dear Mr.Stricklath: That portion of the resolution adopted June 8, 1940 by the Board of Commissioners of Harnett County that the County shall not convey or lease the Project to any non - stock, non- profit or other private agent and particularly to Dunn Hospital, Inc., its successors or assigns which reads as follows: "unless the full amount of the grant allocated by the Public Works Adminstration shall first be repaid and returned to said Public Works Administration, and then only with the written approval of said Public Works Administration" is not satisfactory. The further resolution adopted the same day granting to Dunn Hospital, Inc., the privilege within three years from June 8, 1940 of receiving title to the Project upon payment to Harnett County, for the use and benefit of the Public Works Administration, of the sum received by the County from the Public Works Administration by way of grant to aid in financing in the construction of such Project is also not satisfactory. These two resolutions can not be approved for the reason that the effect is an indirect loan of funds for the benefit of a private corporation. The Board of Commissioners should amend the resolutions first mentioned so as to delete the portion quoted above and the second resolution mentioned should be rescinded in its entirety. When this action has been completed, please furnish to us appropriate certified copies of the action taken. I am sorry that there has been an unavoidable delay in advising you with reference to the foregoing matters and it is hoped that the necessary action to make the Project eligible may be completed at an early date In order that additional grant payments may be made and the project placed in operation.
