Congressman Lewis Promises Help For County PWA Plan
Congressman David J. Lewis informs President John Ankeney of the Board of County Commissioners of his strong cooperation to push the county PWA building program for inclusion in new federal aid. He notes he raised the county project with the Federal administrator three weeks ago and believes it will be considered for the next appropriation if approved. The delay by the board in submitting projects is blamed for missing the initial $200,000,000 appropriation, as PWA officials report 700,000,000 in requests on file with only 200,000,000 funded so far.
