Projects Blanks Issued Today Signal Relief Push
Washington officials announced that formal application blanks for proposed relief projects would be available today at the national emergency council offices and later from members of Congress and state directors. The move is expected to trigger a vast flow of applications, with estimates reaching 40 billion dollars, ten times the relief appropriation. Frank C. Walker and the emergency board oversee the process, with some projects already approved to move to the allotment committee. Key questions remain on program administration and wage levels, with an expected average wage above 50 dollars monthly and uncertainty over use of workers not on relief rolls.
