Nims Outlines WPA Roster Cuts and Relief Debate
Michigan WPA chief Louis M. Nims told about 135 delegates at the third annual peninsula conference in Iron Mountain that eliminating WPA rosters and shifting to local relief responsibility could alter funding. He cited a possible $5 to $7 per man month increase for labor on WPA projects if a discretionary fund is approved, and warned Michigan faces heavy industrial losses from the auto industry, reduced tourism, and fewer seasonal incomes. He stressed direct relief remains a local and state responsibility and noted eligibility shifts under a proposed act.
