U. S. Seeks To Cut
Average Cost For
Work Relief Jobs
The New Deal’s $4,000,000,000
work relief program has struck a
stalemate as leaders sought new
type re-employment projects pro
viding maximum work at mini
mum cost.
Fearful that they will be unable
to employ 3,500,000 persons as
planned, Administration officials
held up definite approval of all
Federal and non-Federal applica
tions.
They have an average of $1100
per man to spend. Yet the $1,
000,000,000 in projects already
planned will cost (approximately
$2000 for every person taken off
relief rolls and kept on pay rolls
until July 1, 1936.
To reduce the average, President
Roosevelt has instructed Works
Progress Director Hopkins to search
the country for local, quick work
where material costs will be low
with almost all the money going
for labor and wages.
Officials estimated the program
would become similar to Hopkins’
old Civil Works Administration.
He spent $1,000,000,000 keeping
4,000,000 men at work during the
four-month period from Nov. 15,
1933, to March 15, 1934.
The Administration’s new plan
of attack was revealed when the
President’s Advisory Committee on
Allotments recommended expendi
ture of $13,629,700 for 21 miscel
laneous projects, but pointed out
their per man costs must be low
ered.
I he Civilian Conservation Corps
program of enlarging camps from
300,000 to 600,000 also will be
revised. Committee members pre
dicted the additional 300,000 men
could not be enrolled unless they
revised the 18-2 5-year-old age limit.
The age limit probably will be
raised to 30 years.
While the re-employment drive
svas at a standstill, Federal agencies
continued to make applications for
part of the money. A total of
$12,776,200 in new requests was
announced by the Division of Ap
plications and Information. The ,
nation-wide applications:
Interior Department—To carry
on for one year of a 10-year prog
ram completing the topographic
map of the United, Alaska, Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands, $7,
828,000.
Treasury Department—For a
statistical study of tax collections
and an analysis of state and local
debts, 1930-1935, $964,000.
Interior Department—For study
of public lands of the United
States in Arizona, California, Col
orado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada,
New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and
Wyoming, $53 5,000.
Dog Waits 3 Days
By Road For His
Missing Owner
Chappaqua, N. Y.—A lonely
letter which for three days and two
lights had been sitting on a mound
if gravel alongside the Mount
Kisco-Ossining highway, refusing
food and slowly becoming emaci
ated, was taken in charge by the
society for Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals.
The police were unable to get
near the dog, but a society agent
was able to throw a net over him
and then the animal, was taken to
a kennel near by.
It is believed the dog was releas
ed from an automobile for a ram,
and, returning to the highway,
found his owner had disappeared.
He then decided to sit by the road
way and wait.
The farmer who grows lespedeza
is entering the college of soil im
provement and when he gets to al
falfa, he is a member of the senior
:lass, says one observing agricultur
al worker.
