Governor outlines staff moves and pavilion plan
Smith said Julius Singleton of Morgantown will stay on as administrative assistant while directing the West Virginia World's Fair pavilion and will be paid from the State Commerce Department's pavilion payroll only. He hopes the pavilion can be moved to West Virginia for use as an archives or museum but private funds may be needed for moving expenses estimated at 52000. The governor called a lease by the Alcohol Beverage Control Commission at St. Albans in conflict with his executive order. He noted a new leasing system and the goal of prequalifying sellers and leasers by May 5. He spoke of growing Progress Corps support and a constitutional convention, and may seek funds from the contingent fund for the Post Mortem Examination Commission if the Legislature does not fund it.
