Court Rejects New Courthouse Permit Amid War Effort
The War Industries Board chairman Bernard Baruch rejects New York City's plan to furnish materials for a $9.00 million school building program, citing wartime needs. He warns that releasing resources would weaken war production, halt vital construction, and divert labor, capital, materials, transportation, and fuel from the front. The decision sets a nationwide precedent impacting communities seeking building projects during the war.
