While the Federal Government and
communities throughout the Nation
tackle the task of putting 100000
Jcbless men and women to work on
public projects at regular wages this
Winter. the belief is growing here that
the civil works program is likely to be
continued in some form after the pres
e;nt fund of s4Oo 900 900 is exhausted
This appropriation from the public
works fund IS expected to provide
money enough to finance the program
at least until February Is, and perhaps
to March |. Harry L. Hopkins. director
OF the Civil Works Administration. has
said. When the project was announced.
1t was explained that Congress would
determine whether the program shOull
be continued.
1t is pointed out in informed quarters
now that the Government would hesi-
tate TO return these workers 70 llnenl'

program of civil works is regarded by
some as the only alternative to ern-
pioyment Insurance, demands for which
are expected to grow stronger when
Congress convenes.
1.500 to Get Jobs In Alaska.
Under the present program, jobless
men and women ranging in number
from 800 in Alaska to 297 900 in New
York are expected by the Civil Works
Administration to be provided with
work by the various States and Terri
tories.
While the program calls for a grand
total employment of 100000. the
quotas assigned States and Territories
we're limited to an aggregate of 3,000,-
600 since it is expected approximately
100000 will be put to work on projects
arranged directly by the Federal Gov
ernment.
The quotas were determined partly
on the basis of population and partly
on the basis of the number Of families
receiving relief, IS per cent weight being
given to population and Is per cent
to the proportion of the number of
families receiving relief.
Projects include improvement Of
parks. Fairgrounds and highways, pest
control. sanitation, extension and re-
pair of public utilities and public build
ings. Director Hopkins points out that
men to work at once. the civil works
program cannot include enormous build
ing projects. These will b. left to the
slower moving public works program.
