Hopkins Fails To Win Point On Relief Burden Split
Washington June 12 Senate economy men ignored WPA head Hopkins and urged Congress to assign 40 percent of relief costs to states and localities. Appropriations committee members grilled Hopkins behind closed doors and inserted the 40 percent figure into Roosevelt’s 1.5 billion relief bill. Local governments would fund that share unless they prove financial hardship, with current local contributions averaging 16 percent. The vote was 13 to 0. Hopkins argued that over 85 percent of local tax receipts come from real estate and could not bear more burden.
