Hope City platform and county road program outlined
The Star's Platform urges applying municipal power plant revenues to develop Hope's fat and social resources. It calls for more city pavement in 1931 and improved sanitation in alleys and backyards, supporting the Chamber of Commerce. The county program proposes annual highway construction on weatherproof roads, reducing mileage and boosting Hempstead County agriculture, tax reform, and efficient government via prudent expenditures, tied to Arkansas cattle tick concerns.
