CHEROKEE SPENDS $7,437 FOR RELIEF DURING MARCH County relief oganizaation spent $7,437 for relief in the count\ during: March, which is the wigcM, mi in wmcn nas been spent m l this county during any one month, 1 although an improvement in the status of destitution in North Carolina was indicated in the total amount of money spent in the state for relief purposes du'ring March, according to an announcement made this week by the Governor's Office of relief. The total expenditure for the state amounted to $1,323,346. This total represents an increase over the expenditures for February which required $1,166,432. By taking into account the fact that March contains three mo're days than February, the fact is revealed that the tQtal daily requirements for March *4? less than February. State relief officers regard this as an encouraging sign because of the jet that the banking holiday during J'arch caused a larger expenditure jn many instances than would have been !n.? -?w viuniaruy. The total amount of monty actBally spent during March in CheTOce and adjoining counties follows: COUNTY AMOUNT Cherokee $7,437 c'ay 3.789 Graham 4,069 Hacon 3.283 s*ain 3,918 Cover's Fishing Bill Given Approval Tht senate has added its approval !?
