Roosevelt limits works relief funding for PWA projects
WASINGTON June 15 to 17 Roosevelt reportedly limited work relief contributions on PWA projects to 45 percent with private funding or the PWA revolving fund covering the remaining 55 percent. The move, tied to the second birthday of the PWA, signals about 2.909 billion dollars of the works program to be carried out by Hopkins' WPA. Secretary Ickes credited the program with stabilizing construction and widening private employment opportunities while Hopkins aides noted larger funds for materials would enable more projects. No PWA projects including housing funds of 249 million and non federal allotments of 31.2 million have been approved yet, though recommended.
