City officials plan to decide which city blocks join a proposed WPA sidewalk program based on landowners willing to participate. Estimated sidewalk curb and gutter costs run about 40 dollars per 50 foot lot, 80 percent covered by materials and 14 dollars per worker from a federal grant. Without WPA, costs rise to around 100 dollars.
