Five Countrywide
Road Projects In
Co. Discontinued
WPA Rolls Reduced to About
400. Around Half AS Ma
ny as Once Employed.

Five countrywide WPA road
projects have been discontinued
or consolidated within the last
week, B. W. Jones, county super
-visvor, said yesterday.
This curtailment was due to a
big quota reduction, effective last
week, which came in addition to
the 18-months lay-off.
A total of 79 men were cut off
and brought the total WPA en-
ployed in the county down to
around 400, Mr.. Jones stated.
This is just about half as many
as were employed the middle of
last winter in the county.
Five road foremen cut off
were: w. A. Williams, Paul Rot
en-, D. L. Stansberry, R. D. Sheets
and Victor Goss. Mr.. Goss, how
ever, was merely reduced in rank
and still remains on the job.
The pay for unskilled WPA
workers in this state is expected
to be raised this week from $26
to $50
