We request that your consideration of it be favorable. To indicate our support, the Executive Com- mittee of the Board of Trustees of Histd~ic Cabarru s, Inc. has voted to contri- bute $1, 800.00 as a portion of the lqcal funds required under the grant proposal. The inventory of historic places and archaelogical sites will be of great benefit to our community. ]Publication of this-inventory will provide a reliable reference for use by governmental planner~, historians, and others interested in historical sites. It will provide the basis for nominations to the National Register of Hist?'~i~ iPlaces, for other go~re~nment grants, and for tax incentives to private owners. , Our area is rich in history and recognition of histoYic sites will do rh~ch;td ~oster and encourage their preservation and to promote pride in the ~ktue history of our community. .Your efforts to maintain physical responsibility and the tight budget limitations which you have S~t ~re fully appreciated. However, this is an op- portunity to return to oub community a portion of the taxes which our citizens have paid ~o the State h~d,]Federal governments. Historic Cabarrus, Inc. is reaching deep into its own ~6ckets for the $1, 800.00 which represents a sub- stantial portion of our annual'budget. We feel, however, that the relatively small expenditure of local funds is a sound investment in our community. Respectively submitted, President
