Commissioners to Extend Aid to Poor Board
Jan. 17. County commissioners plan to borrow money soon to aid the poor board but action was deferred due to absence of a board member. Chairman Rollo McCray said a full meeting is needed, and Joseph Rogan noted that the loan may be discussed Wednesday. Harvey N. Willis had urged a $200,000 borrowing to help relief efforts amid rising demand. Officials expect some borrowing, possibly not the full $200,000, to be approved.
