Gallia County WPA relief roll to weed out ineligible workers
Gallia County WPA relief program begins strict examination of applicants. Othneil Jones reports 800 certified eligible with 600 placed since January 1, and 228 families on relief, including 105 with no employables due to illness or disability. February expenditures total 2245.50, with distributions of apples, beans, peaches, potatoes, prunes, and rice. A strong WPA list reduces calls, with 985 employed and a payroll near 50000 monthly, prompting stricter removal of chiselers to aid truly needy in Gallia County.
