Public Works Adv Board urged for Hope citizens to lobby
Hope readers are urged to send aldermen and citizens to the state capital to press the Public Works Advisory Board on NRA projects. The piece argues self-liquidating projects like natatoriums come first, warns about local tax constraints, and promotes municipal improvements funded by federal credit. It notes Hempstead County’s work relief and calls for road and water system upgrades, including a looped water main for improved fire protection. Emmet reports its first bale of cotton, 585 pounds, inch middling, bought for 9.5 cents.
