employed, for the other 10000 jobs,
the Governor explained.
Checks for work will be disburSed
through the United States veterans
bureau and local disbursing Off
GERS to be named by the new or
ganization created-the civil works
administration of Indiana.
The Governors unemployment
commission, headed by William H.
Book, will form the new civil works
body.
In his talk, the Governor forecast
that many projects in which fed
eral aid or loans played a part
would be returned to the states for
visa, when he said, IF this civil
works is successful, 1 think the
future will see all public works
handled through the state, instead
of by the federal government"
Re-EmplOy 10000
The 10000 men on relief rolls
are to be re-employed through
county chairmen of the unemploy-
ment commission and township
trustees.
But, after Dec /, all employment
on the vast program of civil works
in the state will be handled by the
federal re-employment agencies in
each of forty-two counties of the
state, the Governor said.
There's nothing political in this.
Men must be hired regardless of
whether they are Socialists, Demo-
Gratis or Republicans, he asserted.
Projects now pending before the
federal public works board can not
be used in the civil works plan, ex-
planned the Governor.
Useless Projects Banned
But in time, many of those prof.
ects are expected to be returned to
the civil works administration for
approval for use in employing men, -
he said.
These projects will not go to
Washington for approval. You
must not let this plan fall through
useless projects. You can't erect
buildings or do other functions Of
a government with these men. This
is primarily for the payment of
wages. It's up to us to play the
game and it's the most important
game since the World war;" the
Governor declared.
In explaining worthy and bene-
fetal projects, Wayne Coy, secretary
of the relief commission and civil
works board said trees could be
planted in parks, municipality owned
buildings and school houses could be
repaired, additions to boulevard sys-
TENS, grades for street extensions,
levee work in flood prevention,
cleaning of streams and river banks.

rolls" Mr.. Coy said.
He said that relief roll workers
now employed on state highway
widenings would receive a raise from
40 cents to so cents an hour.
Every unemployed man will be
guaranteed 100 hours work a month.
After Dec. 1, the men employed,
who have not been on relief rolls,
will be investigated to determine
their need and only, the needy will
receive the jobs" asserted Mr. Coy.
Other Meetings Set
Application blanks to be filled out
giving data on the projects were

be mailed out next Saturday.

viding work for approximately 100,-
