Granted To Moss

The Moss Point city school sys-
TEN has been granted 1881 by
the Federal Works Administra-
ton for maintenance and opera
ton of the schools, according to
a telegram received this week by
L. w. Tanner, school supervisor.
Congressman William Colmer
was instrumental in securing the
federal grant for the Moss Point
system which Is one of the few
in this state receiving such aid,
Mr.. Tanner said.
The sum allowed the schools
is approximately $4,000 short of
the $29,5l4 requested for this year,
he said. The schools received $780,
l57 last year, which was also
short of the amount asked. This
money supplements separate
ichool district and state funds.
