Hope council weighs WPA armory plan at Garland site
At a Tuesday session the Hope city council heard Mack Duffie of the Arkansas National Guard and WPA’s Charlee Thomas discuss using materials from the Garland school for a new state armory and city fire department building. Officials noted the city cannot secure a clear title to Garland for school financing, delaying some plans. The WPA project is under a council committee, with an estimated armory cost of 16930 dollars and a net city cash of 1580 dollars after state and federal contributions. The meeting covered WPA road and sidewalk work, the local gravel program, and repairs to Second and Elm streets. The fire department dinner invitation and street paving issues were also on the agenda.
