In Pine County for the reason that
there has been entirely too low a quo
ia since w. P. A. started and recently
an order Claimed to be NationaD has
been put into effect that many more
are to be laid off. and
WHEREAS. Our W. P. A. engineer
informs us that many more will be
laid off by July 18th and continue un-
til October LIST, that Pine County is in
very poor financial condition and is
unable to take care of these men and
their families on direct relief. Nor are
there any positions in private industry
available, and
WHEREAS. If these people are not
cared for on w. P. A. projects, 1t will
be impossible for them to find work
and they will be left in desperate con-
dition as many need subsistence and
medical care and the County is in no
position financially to help them. That
unemployment Is national question
and our w. P. A. Administrator both
state and local, inform us that results
can only be obtained through the I'm
tied States Government.
NOW THEREFORE, BE 1T RE-
SOLVED. that we request the aid of
the government and state officials in
assisting us in placing these unem-
ployed citizens on w. P. A. projects.
