CWA DOUBLES
PAYROLL FOR
DISTRICT
14,500 Will Receive $137,725
: Today; 10000 to Be at
Work Here Soon

Concrete evidence that the local
Civil Works Administration Is
pushing ahead with its employ.
ment drive was seen today in its
payroll, which has more than
doubled that of last Saturday.
More than 14,50O persons will
receive $137,725 for the second
week Of the CWA here, and the
third weeks pay will be even
larger.
The number Of jobs under the
CWA in the District increases in
proportion to the number of prof.
ects approved and registered appli-
cants are assigned.
Women Get Jobs
One hundred clerks, many of
them women, will be put to work
under a new project Of the Census
Bureau. Twenty-Five more will be
employed in the Indian Bureau.
Additional white collar" job S
were proposed yesterday by DR..
Bowerman, public librarian, call
ing for 81 additional workers.
According to a recent ruling,
projects in the nature of cross
indexing files or other work which
is of value to the District, but
which cannot be accomplished by
an ordinary office force, are per-
missible projects under the CWA.
There is slight shortage of
construction foremen, due chiefly
to the difficulty of finding the
right men for this kind Of work.
Quota Sought
District executives, meanwhile,
are preparing other projects to
swell the list of the CWA workers
here from 14,500 to the Districts
quota Of 10000.
The rush to approve projects
which marked the first days Of the
administration has been slowed
down, and Capt. Howard F. Clark,
assistant engineer commissioner,
is looking over each project care
fully.

Citing examples Of business houses
which have produced greater earnings
by modernizing existing improvements,

Almost every city has number Of
out-dated store buildings - probably
vacant. At little expense they can be
made to stand out from others and
be brought back into the paying class.
I'm Superior. Wis. a city of 10000
population, an enterprising firm Of
realtors has had considerable success in
undermining existing improvements so
as to produce greater earnings, and in
creasing new developments for land

One example cited is that of an obso-
lete building occupying valuable land,
rendering difficult the realization of full
and proper earnings. The modernizing
of the building brought the improve
ment on a par with the potential earn
ing power Of the land. The front Of
the structure was refaced with lime
stone and brick, attractive new store
fronts were added, and four single-room
apartments, which formerly occupied
the second floor, were replaced by six
apartments, each with a bath and
electric refrigeration.
Rent for the first floor was In
