MORE MO NEY IS
 ALLOTTED UNDER NEW PWA SETUP
Pioneers Home Grant ln- creased from $87 900 z
 to $93,000

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Secre- tary Harold l.. Ickes has approved loans from the old PWA funds to cover 55 percent of the cost of a long list of projects, the remaining 45 percent of the cost to be from work relief funds. .
 The allotments increased included the grant of s87,900 for the Pio- neers Home at Sitka which was increased to $93,000.
 Under the old PWA system funds were distributed on the basis of 10 percent loan and 30 percent grant. Some of these funds were not used through projects not being carried out and as a result the money re- verted back to the PWA. This mon- ey is now being expended on the new 55-45 basis which is the per- centage in effect under the new PWA, it was explained by officials here. As a result it is anticipated some of the projects which have been short of funds for comple- tion will now be carried out. Sew eral of the non-federal projects in the Territory have expended their allotments and under the new set- up it is expected there will be suf- ficient funds to complete them. Some of the items in the plans for the Improvements at the Pioneers Home were eliminated at the last call for bids due to limitation of money. but with the new increased allotment it is anticipated it will be possible to complete the entire program.
