Relief Office Is Being Moved To Sylva This Week Business Office Of Relief Work Will Be Done In Sylva Office After This Week Orders have been received here by those in charge of the Welfare offices, that the Waynesville office will be moved to Sylva either the last of this week or the first of next. Because of the detailed work in making out the payroll it is thought that the office will be moved on either the 7th or Sth. The moving of the business office to Sylva is in conjunction with the policy of the state relief department to have only I!!! offices in the state instead of. 108. This district is now composed of Haywood, Jackson, Swain and Macon counties. Social investigators will be kept here to handle relief cases, and in all probability the office will be removed to the court house when the business office is moved to Sylva. The personell of the office is now being made up in Raleigh, Homer Henry, local administrator said, and announcement will be made with in a few days. Local civic organizations tried to induce officials of the state depart ment to maintain the office here, but the officials maintained that Sylva was more centrally located in the district than was Waynesville.
