Relief Work
Office Will
Be Changed
Peace Building On
William Street Jo
Be Use d; City-
County Help
Because of insufficient room in the
old police court quarters, the district
relief offices to be located here will
not be housed there, it was learned
today from E. G. Dorsey, of the coun
ty relief administration, and will be
located on the second floor of the
Peace building on William street.
The rental for Peace building quar
ters will he $51.50 per month, and th»
city andl county will each p*»y half of
that amount in order to get the of
fices here.
Mi. Dorsey didn’t know today just
when the office would be opened, but
said it was supposed to begin opera
tions on Thursday of this week. He
set a corps of workers to the task
today of renovating the rooms for oc
cupancy of the relief forces. He said
there would be about 25 individuals
employed. He did not know’ who
would be the district relief adminis
trator in charge.
If is understood the workers will
be recruited from the offices In
Vance, Warren, Granville and Frank
lin counties. W’hich will be merged in
to the district office here but said
hr (.id not believe the pay would be
sufficient to induce those people to
come here and that if they did not.
it would mean more opportunity sot
local people to be given jobs.
