BY ACCORD In NEW YORK
$l32y y6O6,S6O Public Works Program
Announced by La Guardia as
Economy Deadlock Is Broken.

8,261,775 man-days of work could be
provided here after the passage Of the
economy bill. The thousands of men
who would be employed on the
numerous construction jobs would re-
ceive work for periods Of two months
to three years, depending on the
character of the project on which
they were employed.
Others Benefited.
1t is estimated that from Is 900 to
10000 persons would receive work in
directly manufacturing materials, etc,
as a result Of this gigantic program.
Democrats in the Legislature
blocked the economy bill to keep ap-
proximately 125 in county jobs,
which the mayor would abolish under
the provisions of the economy bill,
and backed down when President
Roosevelt urged the State Democratic
legislators to pass the measure.
The Public Works Administration
already has approved and allocated
funds for six projects on which
S35 100000 will be expended. These
include the completion of the new
city-oWned subway on which 1920
men would be employed and approxi-
mately S23 900, 900 expended; S4OO0.-
600 for a new pavilian at Bellevue
Hospital: 81 900. 600 for the compile
ton Of the city's new water tunnel;
S2,500.000 for the construction Of
BaySide High School; 100000 for
three garbage incinerators and i'm
provements on two plants now being
used, and 100000 for the compile
ton of the new Queens General
Hospital.
Other Projects Considered.
The State Advisory Board has ap-
proved 35 other projects, which now
are under consideration by officials in
Washington. These would cost $780,
65S, $50, the largest Of them being the
expenditure of $25, ,245 900 for the
completion of the Wards Island
sewage treatment plant. the construc-
ton of intercepting sewers, etc. Other
projects, such as the construction Of
a number of schools, health centers
and additions to hospitals, which have
been approved tentatively. bring the
total involved to S132, 2,606, $50. This
does not include the sums already
approved and allocated for the Tri-
Borough Bridge and the Midtown
Hudson tunnel. Approximately $685.
100000 will be spent on these two
public works, and part of this money
already has been forwarded to the
authorities here.
A $2O0.00oOoO public relief pro-
gram for this State during the 10
months following the termination of
the Civil Works Administration on
April l was assured this week when
the Legislature passed a bill appro-
priating s48,OOOOOO for the States
share in providing home aid for 260,-
900 families and work for 240, 900
others. THE communities will pro-
vide approximately $50 100000 during
that period and the Federal Govern
ment $l00000,000.
The new program will differ from
the civil works plan in that persons
obtaining aid hereafter will be forced
to establish that they are in need.
There were approximately 34O,000
persons on the C.. w. A. rolls and it
is estimated that this number will be
reduced by nearly 100000 by this new
provision. The work relief operations
will be conducted under the super
vision Of the State temporary emer-
gency relief administration.
