Delegations Press Road Projects For $11 Million Federal Aid
Delegations from across North Carolina press the State Highway and Public Works Commission for road and street work funded by the $11 million federalWPA program. Chairman E B Jeffress marks sites on a crosshatched map while requests pile up for municipal and county projects. Estimates say 11,000 workers may be employed with wages rising from 20 to 90 cents per hour for various labor, as appeals are compiled for a future commission meeting.
