CONTINUANCE
Of CWA URGED
BY bURNHAN

In letter received from Con-
gresham Burnham in reply to one
sent by the Ell Centre Chamber of
Commerce, urging that Burnham
do everything possible to have an
additional appropriation passed by
congress for continuation of the
CWA program Congressman Burn
ham states that he is glad to ad-
wise that he has been doing every
thing possible to have this work
continued until next May at least.
Burnham states that he has taken
the matter up with President Roose-
welt and has reason to believe that
he will ask congress to appropriate
additional funds for CWA work in
the very near future.
Local chamber directors took ac-
ton on the additional appropria-
ton for CWA funds at the request
of group of Ell Centre business
men who state that there has been
a decided increase in sales in Ell
Centre since the CWA program
started and additional work was
created here for local unemployed
1t is believed that if the program is
continued throughout the present
winter improved business conditions
may continue and the Ell Centro
chamber therefore wrote to the
President, senators and congressman
in Washington, urging that every
thing possible be done to have the
additional appropriation made in
an early session of congress.
The Associated Chambers of
Commerce of Imperial county and
other individual chambers have
also urged this matter upon the
California delegation in Washing
ton and these letters have carried
conclusive proof that the CWA pro-
gram has been beneficial to Imper-
ial Valley as whole, and that it is
the desire of the business men of
this community that it be contin-
ued. ...
