To the Board of Trustees of the
University of North Carolina
Met at Raleigh, N. C.
January twenty-fourth, 1933, A. D.

Joseph B. Chesire, Jr., your Escheator, begs to make the
following report:

First:
That he has received no monies since the last report, in which
he reported the balance on hand paid to the University of North Carolina.
He thinks that, perhaps, two or three thousand dollars may be collected
from certain Clerks of the Superior Courts within the next
few weeks, but he is, of course, not absolutely certain

Second:
That Mr. W. B. Snow, an alumnis, of Kinston, N. C., has submitted
an opinion that the Ninteen Thirty-one (1931) Amendment to
the Workmen's Compensation Act is unconstitutional, in that it
attemps to pay the North Carolina Industrial Commissions awards
to persons who have no next of kin. Your Escheator agrees with
this opinion entirely.

Third:
That for sometime it has been quite evident, and your Escheator
has made several reports thereon, that much larger sums could be
secured from the Clerks of the Superior Courts of unclaimed funds
due the University of North Carolina by employing some reliable
person to examine the Annual Reports and records of the CLerks of the
Superior Courts throughout the State. Your Escheator again brings
this matter to your attention and urges that it be referred to the
new Escheat Committee with power to act.

Respectfully Submitted,
(signed) Joseph B. Chesire, Jr.
Escheator University of North Carolina.
