Among the federal projects listed in the New York papers as having received President Roosevelt’s approval was $270,000 for the construction of the new Ramsey High School. Telegrams from Senator Moore and Representative Perkins soon followed confirming the grant, and eventually a telegram from Thomas P. Carroll of the National Emergency Council in Washington addressed to John Y. Dater, President of the Board of Education. Subsequent instructions urged that the work begin immediately. A meeting of the Board was scheduled for September 3rd to complete final arrangements and start construction. (Bristow)
