Hope for WPA Action
Quick action on local Works
Program administration projects is
hoped for by employees of the street
department here following an
nouncement that hours of employ
ment In this department will have
to be cut IL work for some OF the
men, now in the departments EN-.
ploy, cannot be found on WPA
within two weeks.
Warden Sheridan said that none
Of the street department men will
be dropped but shorter hours and
consequently less pay will be neces.
sary within two weeks * the bur.
den Of employment 10 not taken Oft
the department.
FERA allotments have decreased
steadily during the past few months
and as a result more men have
been hired on the street department
to keep them off the welfare list.
II was only temporary move, the
warden said, in the hope the WPA
setup would have been arranged
here before now.
However now the expenses Of
the department are getting too high
and some step must be taken.
These are more than 100 now en-
plowed by the department. Several
projects have been approved by
the local borough board and the
New Haven WPA setup but still
await approval from Washington.
When such approval Is given the
FERA men will be returned to
WPA work and regular hours will
be restored to the street DEPART
ment, It Is believed.
