CITY PROVIDES
 FUNDS FOR WPA
New Projects Started -By Government Keep Men
 Working, Says Leary

With the federal government hav- ing renewed its WPA program, the city of Waterbury, 1t has been learned, Is faced with the problem of providing funds to pay It's share of local projects that must be uE1. dertaken during the rest of the year if local workers on relief are to be kept on their jobs. The WPA fiscal year ended July ist and the city, in setting up finances to carry on pro. jects under federal aid, provided money lasting only until that date. Now an emergency has arisen that concerns the welfare of several hun- dred men and women on relief here.
 Money Quickly Used
 Last January the city, under au- thority granted by the state legisla- ture, sold S400,000 in street improve. ment, bonds. This money was used to buy tools and materials for the many local projects planned under tho WPA program. So tremendous have been the WPA activities local- ly that the S4o0,000 has been ex- hauSted.
 Out of this $4o0,00o came the city's share on each WPA project, as re- uuired under the relief program. FurtherInore, the city had to buy pipe for water mains, sanitary sew ers and storm sewers. Materials and tools for various other WPA work were also purchased, the materials including i'll for grading and so forth.
 City Has New Burden
 The local projects approved last week by State WpA Administrator Matthew A. Daly of New Haven give an idea of the amount of money the city must pay as its share on fed-
