Hope city offers WPA paving aid to cut street costs
Syd McMath, chair of the city council finance committee, told the Rotary club Friday that the City of Hope would pay one third of property owners costs for new street paving under WPA. He noted Hope has 10 miles paved and a 6,008 population, now 7,477, needing more paving. The plan mirrors Little Rock’s approach but Hope’s aid and a possible paving district could cut costs to about one third of original plans, enabling faster dust control and smoother traffic with less burden on property owners.

Plans Made for Highway 4 Association to Seek Funds
Plans are under way to organize a State Highway No 4 Association to highlight the road’s importance and pursue state and federal funds. Highway No 4 runs from the west end of Arkansas across the state, connecting DeQueen Nashville Hope Camden Warden Monticello and McGehee. Chambers of Commerce in these towns back the effort to sponsor the highway’s improvement, with a June meeting planned for representatives to form a permanent group. The road is crucial to Hope, promising east-west traffic on par with U.S. 7 north-south traffic. Argentina natives make butter by dragging crews in a skin bag behind a rider on horseback.
