10 work on public projects within
three weeks, the goal of four mil
lion being reached early in Janu-
airy. In all States, 100000 projects
were operated. TIE creation of
so vast a structure in so short a
time was unprecedented.
The PWA program was complete
in the spring of 1884, and the
FEA work division took over work
relief on public projects, providing
a maximum employment of over
100000 people who were taken
almost entirely from the relief
rolls and were paid a security
rage.
The great drought of 1884, Great
ing a desperate emergency
throughout a large part of the Mid
Gle West, was met by a farm re-
Mobilization program administered
by Hopkins. Several hundred thou
sand farm families were furnished
loans for subsistence and rehabili-
tation. This farm program was
transferred to the Resettlement
Administration and is now carried
on by the Department of Agri-
culture. Again, in the 1886 drought
Hopkins established temporary
work projects for a quarter of a
million distressed farmers.
When direct relief was returned
to the States in 1885, the Works
Progress Administration was set
up to carry on work relief pro-
jects, under the administration of
Hopkins. WPA employment has
been given to a maximum of over
three and a quarter million peo-
pie. This employment is greater
than that in the coal, steel and
textile industries combined.
Hopkins has been called the larg-
est single employer in the his
tory Of the world Under his adj
ministration the WPA has built
schools, hospitals, and public build
ings of all kinds, constructed roads
bridges, and airports, laid sewers,
and water mains, constructed parks
Fairgrounds, stadiums and tennis
courts, built dams and carried on
conservation work of all kinds in
cooperation with State, local and
Federal agencies. It has also car
ried on work in public health, edu-
cation, recreation. In the field of
the four arts it has conducted or
chestras, written guide books, pro-
duced plays and decorated public
buildings with art works. Women
in sewing rooms have made gar
menta for the needy in public in
st.tutions and for sufferers from
floods and others emergencies.

gram the local authority must de-
molish, close or repair an equiva-

homes in many of the slum dis

cannot be acquired in excess of
$3.50 square foot. For this reason
the Alley Dwelling Authority is do
ing what many others are doing.
1t is going out into the suburbs
where land is cheaper.
The Ridge road project is an ex-
cellent example of this phase of the
housing program. Its 60-acre site,
covered with virgin woods left in
their natural state. was purchased
several years ago by the former
Housing Division of the P. w. A.
Bisected by Ridge road, the site
represents building difficulties which
add to the costs. The land is roll

cellars to depth of 18 feet because

snow arrives. The Ridge road prof.
ect will contain 1926 living units for
white families, utilizing only about
20 acres of the site. It will be ex-
tended eventually as additional funds
are made available.

urged last night by Donald E. Mont
