Hemp To Build
New City Hall
Municipal Structure on Lot Do
nated By Tull Will Also Con
tain Jail For Community
Construction of an imposing new
city hall is expected to start this week
at Hemp, the building to be erected
on the lot next to the drug store. The
building, which will be of brick con
struction, will Include a jail, thus sav
ing the necessity of having to bring
prisoners all the way to Carthage, at
no matter what hour of the day or
night they may be arrested, before
they can be confined.
Building of the city hall will be the
first step in the expenditure of of
$225,000 to be spent on public im
provements at Hemp within the next
12 months. Contracts totalling $74,-
000 were let last week for the con
struction of water and sewer lines in
the town, which has become the in
dustrial capital of Moore county.
The city hall will be built on a lot
given to the town as a part of a
public park by the late John L. Tul}.
It will be built by relief labor.
With the influx of workers who will
be engaged in building the water and
sewer lines and the city hall, as well
as those who will be employed under
other contracts to be let soon, the
houifing problem at Hemp becomes
mo:e acute. Every dwelling in the
town is occupied, and practically all
boarding houses are already taxed to
capacity with permanent residents.
Dozens of Pinehurst Silk Mill em
ployes have already been forced to
find residence in Carthage, Bennett
and rural areas contiguous to Hemp.
Aptly Iphrasing the existing de
mand for houses, Edgar Brown said
one could floor a tobacco barn in the
environs of Hemp and rent it for $20
a month. Mr. Brown has helped meet
the housing needs by building quite a
number of homes, and plans others.
