Lawyers Seek Federal Funds To Index Raleigh County Records
Raleigh county lawyers will ask for a federal appropriation to index county records for easier reference. The Raleigh County Bar Association approved the plan at a special meeting with Judge J W Maxwell forming a committee to draft a resolution requesting WPA funds. The group estimates about 10 000 dollars may be needed for workers, while the county would cover material costs. Records have remained unclassified since 1850 until recent officials noted the historical gap.
