Work Relief Funds Cut in Hempstead County
The Reconstruction Finance Corporation allocates $5,000 for January and February in Hempstead County, half the needed amount to maintain fall work levels. The local committee had $25,000 for October through early January but received only $10,000, prompting a reduced operations plan and the appointment of C. S. Routon as county supervisor to coordinate township efforts amid upcoming highway work from Hope to Emmet.
