Roosevelt's Plan For Industry Partnership Sent To Congress
President Roosevelt urged Congress to back a wide ranging industrial recovery program with near unlimited authority to license industry and launch a massive public works push. The plan calls for new taxes to fund a 3.3 billion dollar securities issue, potential repeal of the eighteenth amendment to boost revenue, and emphasizes restoring prosperity through government industry partnership and fair competition.
West Va would share in fund for highways
Washington May 18 Funds for a broad public works program would be placed at the president’s disposal under a 3.3 billion dollar bill. It would authorize a public works administration and set maximum allocations including up to 40 million for road construction and about 4.71 million could be allotted to West Virginia based on population, with remaining funds likely for river and harbor work. Kanawha river project near Charleston needs 478 thousand more to complete, with current funding at risk of diversion.
