Mearly $5000 Spent On Public Projects Last Week< A sum representing nearly $5000 /as released here last week to /orkers who have found employlent through the Civil Works Adlinistration on various projects ,'hich are being carried on throughut the county. This information was released hrough Jesse Gardner, head of the rWA work in this county, who tated that the number of men who ad been requisitioned and were t work at present numbered 479. The 479 men on the job at presnt lacks 31 of composing Warren ounty's full quota of 510 men. Mr. Gardner said that he was awaiting pproval of a project in Sandy !reek township and a project in Roanoke township before using all f the county's quota. "It is only air, I think, that these townships hare with other sections of the ounty in receiving some aid hrough the CWA and for that rea - , an I have not assigned tne orner len we are allowed." Mr. Gardner aid. Both projects are road, won: nd are expected to be approved at ny time. I Road work constitutes about 50 er cent of the projects which arc eing carried on through the local ranch of the Civil Works Admin- j ;tration. Blue Mud, a swamp of lany acres below Oine, is receiving ae attention of about 25 men who re cutting ditches through the larsh in order that pools of stagant water may flow to a creek, his project was recently approved fter it had been pointed out that lis swamp was an ideal breeding : lace for malaria. Other projects recently approved 'as one to grade and rebuild the 1 ifle range, which is located about vo miles south of Warrenlon and sed by Company B, local unit of ae militia, for rifle practice, and ne to extend the water and sewer : nes of the Warrenton Water Co. In giving out this information esterday morning, Mr. Gardner aid that there had been some misnderstanding and criticism about he employment of men on the WA projects. The state, he said, llowed this county only 510 men. >f this number 205 are selected hrough the Unemployed Bureau, rhich is in charge of Miss Mamie inrHner. and the other 255 are aken from the relief roll. This 13 equired of the county by the State Miss Gardner has about 3000 peole registered for work in her deartment. As stated above, the CWA rill accept only 255 men from her ffice, with preference given to exoldiers who have others dependent pon them and to those with teams, "his leaves 2750 people who have egistered for work, and who, in Dtne instances, are prone to raise be cry of favortism in the selec- I ion of workers. In further explaining the situalon, Mr. Gardner stated that at ne time last year as high as 2000 len were given work during one lonth at the low scale wage of 5c er hour. Since the CWA went into ffect with higher wages being paid eoDle are more anxious for work nd consequently more must be disppointed, he said. i The CWA work, according to the resent schedule, will be carried orward in this county until the irst of March.

Iran 12, 1934 Subscription Sewer Lines To Be Laid Here With Civil Works Funds A project has been approved by the Civil Works Administration t o extend water and sewer lines in Warrenton and it is expected that this work will go forward on Monday of next week.
