The Texas Centennial Commission of Control completed routine work to speed the program. Resolutions authorize the state board of control to seek loans and grants from PWA and WPA to augment appropriations for monuments and memorials at Gold and San Jacinto. Gonzales' $50,000 share was reallocated to fund a Gonzales battle ground monument, markers, and a historic center. A $250,000 San Jacinto battlefield building plan was approved with tentative approval for $200,000 in Dallas exposition furnishings, all Texas wood. Vice President John Garner, as federal centennial chair, may meet the state group to co ordinate efforts. The control board rejected a move to hold future sessions in the evening to keep the use of public funds transparent.
