Lot of Additional
Projects Studied
by Board.

The National Recovery Admin
istration today started on its pro-
gram of creating a million new
jobs by October l by granting
allotments of $115,5l3,610 for
public works projects in all Sec
tions from it's fund of $780,
100000.
Secretary of Interior Ickes, ad-
ministrator of the Federal public
works fund, in announcing the
wholesale grant, said his board
was making every effort to re-
move any unworthy project and
conserve the fund for the benefit
of unemployed who want work
for wages to which they are en-
titled"
Of the total amount awarded
Federal projects got s64 SCI ,542,
which will be expended through
35 governmental agencies, the
administrator said.
A total of S50000,000 was allotted to
roads in parks. forests, Indian reServa-
tionS and public lands. Non-Federal
projects were tentatively allotted $685.
068 The latter distribution, according
to Ickes. was approved in principle, "
subject to satisfactory working of the
contracts covering loans and engineer
ing detail.
$4,000, 900 For One Project.
The biggest single amount in the
items announced by IckeS was S38 ,000.-
0C0 for the great power and irrigation
project on the Boulder Canyon. Be
sides this, the Interior Department S
Reclamation Bureau got S5000,000 for
the Owyhee irrigation project and ST.
100000 to finish the Vale project, both
in Oregon
The international boundary commits
sions were allowed $1,528,000. chiefly
for Strengthening the Rio Grande and
controlling its flow, under treaty with
Mexico. This was contingent upon
Mexico's furnishing part of the funds.
In most other cases, the Federal
funds were allotted by bureaus and de-
partments Individual projects in this
class cannot be announced until gov
ernmental agencies revise their pro-
grams in accordance with cuts made by
President Roosevelt and the cabinet
board in charge of the program.
The grants brought the total to $753.-
$3.50 already allocated from the vast
public works fund. Earlier. President
Roosevelt allocated S400.000 900 Federal
road money to States. and s238,000, 900
to the Navy for building ships.
This distribution Ickes said, Is
the first in the program Of giving men
work so that 100000 men may be
employed by October l, in accordance
with President Roosevelt's expressed
wish.
Given Careful Study.
"The allotments made today are to
projects which quality within the
intent of Congress and the policy
of the administration that only WORK
of permanent and real social value shall
be embarked upon. The special board
for public works submitted these prof.
ects to intensive examination and
deemed them qualified.
The board now has before it a
vast number of additional projects
which may or may not meet with their
requirements Absence of these projects
from the first list does not of necessity
