PWA Allotments Aid
 In Building Tunnels
Work for Thousands Long Idle Made Possible By
 Funds-Grants Big Help to Pittsburgh

900 was allotted for 2,4OO non- federal projects. Hundreds of others are being provided for as result of allotments from the $5OO,OO0,00O additional public works fund authorized by the last Congress.
 Besides furnishing employment for thousands of men long idle the P.W.A. non-federal program is making 1t possible for cities and towns to build useful public facil- ities which they otherwise would not be able to undertake at this time.
 In New York, for instance, work is underway on the Triborough bridge, a $44,20O,00O project, and the Midtown Hudson tunnel, $37,- 5OO,000 project. One of the big gest construction jobs in the world, the Chicago Sanitary districts sewage disposal plant, is being financed by a loan and grant of $42,000,000 from P.W.A.
 Other large P.W.A. projects are bridges and tunnels in the Pitts burgh area as result of loan and grant of $24,500,00O to the Ale gheny County Authority, $4.600,O00 to Milwaukee for construction of a water purification plant, $7,000,0oO to Louisiana for a bridge across the Mississippi at Baton Rouge, s11,526,000 to Minneapolis and $6,522,OO0 to St Paul for sewers and a sewage treatment plant, and $10,771,000 to San Francisco for improvements to it's water system.
 It is estimated that the 2,3S9 non-federal allotments made from the original fund will create 465,- O00,OOO man-hours of direct em- ployment' on construction sites. An even greater amount of indirect and industrial employment will he created hy these loans and grants through manufacture and trans portation of the materials to be used at construction sites.
 The final cost of the construction work to be done with the $759,- 494,693 of loans and grants from the original appropriation for non- federal projects is estimated to be more than $9O0,000,00O.
 The difference between the amount to be advanced by P.W.A. and the final cost is due to the fact that 1,122 out of the 2,3S9 allot- ments were grants only of 30 per cent of the cost of labor and ma terials to be used on the jobs. These grants total $47,62S,94S. They are outright gifts from the federal government, offered to To- cal public bodies at this time to encourage them to undertake em- ployment creating construction worl The pemainder of the fnOn- ey required for the 1,122 projects will he furnished by recipients of the allotments.

Kansas City, Mo (UP)-Swelter- ing hundreds have sought relief from 100-degree temperatures in an immense natural refrigeration plant unknowingly created by ce- ment workers near here.
 Known as the cataeombs Of Jackson county, the series of tun- nels formed in the search for ce- ment ingredients, constantly emits blast of cold air, registering 70 degrees and lower.
 The Missouri Portland Cement company, owner of the property. long been aware of the cooling properties of the caverns- and has piped the air to its offices nearby for a natural air conditioning sys- tenn.
 The tunnel mouth is above the highway, but the density of the cold air forces it to the ground level cooling occupants of cars parked along the road. The air Is cooled by dripping water from cold springs and the cold damp rocks within.
 So cool is the blast of air that many accustomed to 100-degree temperatures close their motor car windows part way when the current strikes them.
