W P A plans to create work for Montana idle in Silver Bow
A Silver Bow county committee after talks with WPA leaders approved plans to provide jobs for up to 6000 unemployed residents over a year, potentially funding nearly five million dollars. The group backed emergency relief warrants and a five mill tax levy, plus a two mill city levy, to finance WPA projects and pledged funds from various sources. Purchase of 40 new trucks was arranged to aid work, with total sponsor contributions around 16 percent. Parker praised the plan as a creditable response to widespread unemployment and a path to lasting county and city projects.
