WPA More Expensive
Than Former System
Comparisons With Mutual Aid Expenditures DisclOses
Interesting Figures for City

a oompiiatlon Of stray reports, 20
3 sneak, which have ben released IN
connection with the local VITA Get.
~ during the past month seems 70
indicate Beyond doubt that the local
VIA Is an expensive proposition. A
comparison Of the results Of figures
relating 70 the WPA 10 those Of the
NNF1A, CWA, and the Mutual Aid
gives further indication that u 10 q
Tar more expensive venture than any
Of the above listed relief programs.
Salaries Compared
~ piecing together certain figures
relating 10 the WPA, figures which
Rave been released during the past
tWo months, the following expendi-
lures for & twelvesnionth period can
be arrived ct. The lowest salary paid
by the WPA Is 900 per month, with
many other workers IN the city re-
sewing rates which are higher. All
cagpenterg, n1asonS and other skilled
workers, for instance, receive 500
per month, according 70 wage scales
released recently by the WPA. Wa.
teFbury then, with 1900 men listed
as the WPA personnel IN the latest
ENC report, costs the administra-
tlon about $4,000 TO 100000 per
per month, or about 100000 per
year.
This reasonable figure, added TO
the 100000 spent by the city ad-
7nlriigtrAtion for materials for six
months, or 100000 per year, brings
the cost Up 70 4i,600,O00. The gov.
ernment, II Is generally known, rs
supposed TO meet cities and towns
halfway In regard 10 material cost.
This would mean that the govern
sSlefit would pay an additional $780,
900 on materials for o year, bring
ing the total WPA cost for one year
70 no less than 12,S00,000.
Harris Explains
In comparison 10 this amount,
william NJ. Harris, who was head Of
Of the Mutual Aid and FERA here
IN Waterbury, states that the total
cost for O I'VE year period when the
Mutual Aid was In existence was
only 12,363, 67434. He pointed out,
however, that Mutual Aid gave out

Complete Finding
Following iS the complete finding:
ION the night Of July 18th, ct
about Ii:i6 p. m, Mrs. Margaret
Stanton OF 20 EaBton avenue, Wa
terbury, was crossing North Main
street o short distance south OF
EaSton avenue near the Alhambra
theater. At this time trolley car,
operated by Peter Daley, OF III
Washington street, was proceeding
northerly on North Main street.
Daley has been employed aE o mo-
torman by the Connecticut Com
pany for the past ten years. He
was proceeding In the usual man.
Tler, had made O stop near the
Chase Company factory 10 dis
charge two passengers and then
started his car, proceeding w North
Main street. Mrs. Stanton started
TO cross the street and continued on
10 the cor track. When she was on
the car track she began TO run In
an effort 10 get out OF the way Of
the approaching car. She was un.
successful however, and the right
front corner OF the trolley car
struck her on the side. She was
spun around and thrown 10 the
pavement with great force. Daley
did not see the deceased until she
was on the car track and as soon
as he saw her SHIT, of hiB power
and stopped tho car within one car
length. Mrs. Stanton was picked
up about three or four feet from
the rear OF the trolley car. She
was taken at once TO 81. Mary's
hospital where she died on July
9th, at 1910 o. m.
daley testified that Just before
Mrs. Stanton was hit there was en-
automobile proceeding south on
North Main street and that he was
watching this car TO allow II 10 20
by and that directly after II had
passed he saw Mrs. Stanton on the
track and that II was then too late
TO avoid hitting her. Other wit.
nesSes did not observe this auto
mobile. The trolley car having
been brought to q stop within It's
own length 1t Is clear that II was
not travelling at excessive speed and
the deceased, II exercising due care,
must have seen the approaching
