Treasury details WPA work relief fund and battle over next year
The treasury reports that over 2.0 billion dollars remain in the 4.88 billion WPA fund at the end of the third quarter. Expenditures total 2.515 billion through March 31 with 843 million spent in the first quarter of the calendar year. If the pace continues, about 1.218 billion would remain for the next fiscal year, contradicting Roosevelt’s projection. The report precedes a House appropriations panel meeting on the 1.5 billion request, while the National Economy League urges dismantling WPA and shifting relief to states on a 50-50 basis, reducing federal outlays substantially.
