Recertification Underway for WPA Workers in Bristol
Case investigators began recertifying 107 ex WPA workers and 456 dependents as Bristol moves to reassign labor to SAR projects. William Fortin met with 25 families and 26 others already examined, with plans to accelerate projects like the Wood Street sideline job to employ 25 to 30 workers. Relief administrator Bisbane noted relief burden easing once men return to WPA and urged employers to hire former workers amid limited responses.
