MANY ELIMINATED

However, in the last four years.

old trouble spots in city drainage
have been eliminated.
Many of the street and sewer

the city-wide projects for which
appropriations Of WPA funds were
made available for needed work in
any section Of Tacoma.
Apart from these, however, were
many important specific projects,
including trunk sewer systems,
which, when latersls are COM
pleted, will drain large areas.
Among the more important ones
listed are: Wapsto lake sewer. T.

CITY-WIDE OR WARDS

Street grading and paving i'm
provements almost entirely fell
into projects set up either as city,
wide or by wards; wards 4, 5, s,
Z and S were the areas in which
the bulk of the money was spent,
as conditions in wards /, 2 and 3
were quite modern generally with
a high ratio of paved and graded
streets and alleys.
Many of the local sewer and
sidewalk jobs have been completed
under local improvement district
set-ups in which the owners of
abutting property have paid for
materials and engineering while
the WPA furnished the labor
items.
OF the S4,491, s20.14 spent by
WPA on all these projects, S4,051,-
31347 was expended for labor, the
report shows, leaving S440,506.67
as allocated to other costs paid for
by federal funds. Though the
city's contributions leaned strong
~ to materials and equipment,
there still was SOC, so92s spent for
labor.
