kilograms received yesterday
and today at headquarters of the
CWA and CWS show that all work
is to be brought to stop by April
/, instead of May /, as was first
understood.
w. w. Demeritt, local admins
traitor, received telegram yes
terday shortly after noon request
ing that the state engineers of
flee at Arcadia be advised before
A o'clock whether material already
on hand or already requisitioned
can be used on present and sue
ceeding quotas before April 1.
In reply Mr.. Demeritt wired
that all materials on hand and
those requisitioned for Monroe
county projects can be used be-
fore April 1 provided prompt de-
livery is effected of materials
listed on outstanding acquisitions.
Immediately following this an
other message was received ask
ing for prompt telegraphic report
based on the man-hour quota, of
estimated dollars absolutely
necessary for material to close out
projects which cannot possibly be
abandoned"
Ask Estimate Be Made
This estimate was to be over
and above material requisitioned
or now on hand and based on
completion by April l. 1t was al
so asked that an estimate be fur
nished for the amount required
for contract equipment and rental.
In his reply Administrator De-
merritt estimated that his estimate
for materials which are required
for projects could not be abandon
ed was $1,000. For truck rental,
Sd, 900; equipment rental, 1925.
These estimates are for mater
ials in addition to those on hand
or requisitioned and work should
be completed by April l.
Estimates for cost of materials
for new projects for which appli-
cations have been submitted are
set as $9,087. Truck rental, 1925.
If applications for new projects
are approved and materials fur
nished promptly, the engineering
office was assured that all will
be completed by April 1.
This morning advices were re-
ceived showing that after April 1,
all men on the CWA rolls are to
be changed to work divisions of
the Emergency Relief Admins
tration.
1t was also shown that the rea-
son for advancing the time for
ceasing operations of the CWA
was in order to have the presi-
dents new relief program put in
effect as soon as possible.
Would Speed Up Work
Asked what effect the new or
ders would have on the local sit
uation, Mr.. Demeritt told The
Citizen he was taking up the ques-
ton of materials this morning and
asking to have the shipments
speeded up for the aquarium pro-
ject.
Engine and pumps and the large
number of sheets of plate glass
for this project were ordered Feb
ruary 2 and approved. Up to date
nothing has been heard from
them.
More lumber for forms is need
ed and when these are made the
concrete pouring program will be
given impetus and this work pro-
coed without hindrance. Hereto
fore the lack of lumber for forms
has delayed the concrete work ma
terially as only one set for each
section was available and these
would have to stand until the mix
ture set.
Then they were removed and.
replaced and the same routine had
to be followed up and so on up to
the present. With the addition
of more lumber and the making of
new forms this work and its ac-I
companying delays viii be avoid
ed.
To hasten the progress of the
aquarium project a number of
men were added to the force this
proportionaIly increasing
