Unemployed Hired For City Airport Work Plan
A city relief effort aims to place unemployed workers at the city airport south east of the city. Workers will be paid 1.50 a day from funds raised by Kiwanis and Rotary, with University of DePauw contributions helping fund payroll. The Rotary Kiwanis committee plans to hire those with greatest need first and use airport labor to stretch finances. Some council members favored street work to preserve funds, but majority supported airport employment to sustain the program.
