No Reduction In Number At Work Now

Logan County WPA project prospects for further assignments in Hocking County appear dim per county commissioners J M Conkle and Frank St Clair and County Engineer Ernest L Schaal who met with Fred Roose district manager. Roose reiterated that about 2000 certified workers in the district may be employed from a 15 300 total and that only about 50 percent of county certified workers could be used if all counties were funded. He warns counties not yet supplying their share may lose workers to fit the district total, with potential reductions to around 600 for Logan if necessary. County officials have kept sponsor share to about 65 percent to avoid reducing staff.
