In Columbus Ohio on January 30 1939 WPA workers face a possible drop from 245000 to about 175000 by spring as a 150 million dollar cut is allocated.

Wages average 59.90 monthly with 44 to 94 range. Administration costs run about 2.05 percent of outlay and 1.2 percent for the first five months of the current year.
