Take, for example, the month of
December, 1884, with 479, TAO per-
sons dependent on work or direct
relief and the average of 1913 per
cent of the population on relief is
near the 1916 percentage of the
population on relief today in In
diana, when 475,O0O persons de-
pend on either WPA checks or
grocery orders for an existence.
The money flow in January,
1885, against the same flow in
January of this year is gagged
when records of the Governors
Unemployment Relief Commission
reveal that 3,704, 900 was spent for
work and direct relief last Janu-
airy on 492,197 persons, while
$5,550,00O is the estimated amount
spent for 475,000 persons in Janu-
airy, 1886.
Wayne Coy, WPA administrator
for Indiana, estimates that 20 per
cent of the $5,550,000 or $1,110,000
was provided III January by state
taxpayers and sponsors of WPA
projects. Direct relief's part of
January's relief load was 100000,
estimated. WPA assumed $780,
600 of this cost through jobs to
the unemployed, thereby reducing
the direct load.

supplemental relief of clothing for

must depend wholly on his $50
salary to pay food, shelter, and
fuel regardless of the size of his
family.
The man with eight children re-
ceives the same WPA wage as the
man with four.
The direct relief family head
receives aid depending on the
number of children who crowd to
his table for provender, but this
aid does not exceed a $28 average
in commodities and housing
monthly for the entire state.
Cases of single person on the re-
lief rolls cut their average to
$1454 a case.
Cut in administration costs for
the combined general relief pro-
gram of work relief and direct
relief has been evident since jan
uary, 1885. Administration costs
averaged 6.8 per cent in January,
1885, under FERA and direct re-
lief. This figure is reduced to an
estimated as per cent for jan
uary, 1886, under combined WPA
and direct relief control.
TINE average cost of admins
Il tration Of direct and WPA
work relief over the last six
months is ga per cent. Non-re-
lief workers, although a charge
against administrative costs, are
included as part of the projects
under WPA. The workers are in
the main of the white-collar or
semi-skilled class.
Nor does the survey show that
Indiana is "boondoggling' state
in the type of it's 1888 WPA prof.
ects, for 81 per cent of the con-
struction work and projects can
be divided into four types that
hire the common laborer rather
than the white-collared worker.
These are: Roads and streets;
public buildings, parks and play
grounds, and water systems, drain
age, sewage, conservation and flood
control,
The average for the nation is
80 per cent against Indiana's 81
per cent in projects for employing
unskilled labor.
Projects, some with "boondoog-
ling" elements, represent only 1856
per cent of the S40,000000 in ap-
proved projects. They employ pro-
fessional workers, clerical aid,
artists and women.
The construction types of prof.
ects total s37,337 900, and Mr..
Coy says the projects or units of
the projects will be completed by
July l with additional projects
in readiness should WPA be con-
tinued after that.

with one coin labeled WPA or

rect Relief or Grocery Dollar and
the ratio of expenditures from
Aug. l, 1935-the beginning of
WPA-through Jan. 81, 1885, is as
follows:

ton, 5000.
Payment by WPA of $15,446, 498
in wages from Aug. 1, 1885, to
Feb. l, 1886, resulted in an aver
age wage over the entire period
of S44 for each worker. The wage
scale in the IL WPA districts Of
the state is $40 to $55 for I'M
skilled workers and $50 to $85 for
skilled workmen with technicians
receiving between SCI to $94
monthly.
The states wage sewerage in
creased to $48 a month in Deem
Der as WPA projects bore the
brunt of the relief load and as
direct relief rolls dwindled under
the switching of workers from
direct relief rolls to WPA.
THE average wage of February
u is estimated at $50 monthly
for the entire state with Marion
County's average being SIS.
Non-relief workers in Indiana,

received $73 for the month of De-
cember. WPA employs $500 of
these needy non-relief workers in
Indiana.
