Public Works Admin to impose state quota on WPA loans
Washington Aug. 15 The Public Works Administration will soon impose a state quota on WPA loans and grants to balance participation in the 1938 program. Acting administrator Howard A. Gray says a recapitulation shows progress ahead of schedule with two thirds of funds gone and many states still backward in qualifying. The quota targets slow down active states until lagging ones can file fair shares, with Ickes and Gray as sole judges using population taxes paid and federal program standings. If backward states do not respond by mid October remaining funds may be pro rated to those with pending applications.
