Mr. Goldsborough* also kept before Mr. Ickes** his endorsement for funds for the construction of a municipal building at Pocomoke City and the completion of the school building construction program started under the ERA.
Some prominent citizens of Pocomoke City complained that that section of the shore had been neglected in the PWA program.
The new allotment of $21,082 to Pocomoke City is to aid in the construction of a two-story-and-basement brick municipal building -with two one-story wings, to cost $46,850.
The building is designed to take care of all municipal activities and the basement is to have a boiler room with concrete slabs overhead, which are to serve as the floor of cells for white prisoners.
