Abolition of WPA Sewing Project Under Consideration
Gallipolis authorities weigh ending the WPA sewing project as an economy move. About 35 to 50 seamstresses work at the Garfield School building under Mrs. H P Bradbury, with costs of rent and utilities totaling about 8000 dollars annually. The county provides clothing and bedding to relief recipients while surplus garments may curb the need to extend the program. The commission seeks storage space for surplus foods and to reduce rental costs by using courthouse space. John McKean is named relief director with duties as relief investigator and purchasing agent through August 1.
