State Chief on Tour of
COunty-TO Relieve
SRA Burden

A Works Progress Admin
istration program for Impe-
rial county to absorb able
bodied workers who other
wise would be on relief was
announced Wednesday by State
WPA Administrator Herbert c.
Legg of Los Angeles while on
tour of the county
Legg estimated that the projects
would save the State Relief admin
istration approximately s65,OOO
month in funds that otherwise
would go to jobless families.
One WPA project, sewer con-
struction, will get under way Mon
day at Imperial that will absorb
go families within a month and no
eventually. A state highway project
between BraWley and Ell Centre will
get started within two weeks and
give jobs to 40 or so more, Legg
said
Road Project
In addition, road improvement
project now operating between
Bonds Corner and Calexico employs
10 men now and will give jobs to
80 by next week
Many applications for construc-
ton of public buildings are under
consideration, Legg said, indicating
further projects may be approved.
I'VE intend to run a WPA work
program here that will be adjusted
to local needs" he declared. The
program will be just large enough
TO care for able-bodied persons
who would otherwise be on relief.
The minute jobs open up for them
they will be released by WPA."
Pay Higher
Pay for WPA jobs runs consider
ably higher than SRA payments,
Legg indicated. The avearge SRA
dole is about S35 a month while
the WPA earning averages about
$50.

tour of the valley by C. Walter

The case was against Harold Bond

Judge Moffett contended that
