Another effort to revive tagging
WPA projects for the city of Ell
Centre was under way Monday as
Director of Public Works Walter
Heinecke prepared to leave for a
Los Angeles conference with new
ly named WPA director for SOU
them California.
Although funds have been car
marked for the projects-which
provide street, sewer and drain i'm
provements-the lack of employable
men and the emphasis upon de-
Tense programs has caused a delay
of several months.
Despite recent rebuffS, Heinecke
retained confidence that the prof.
ects may be pushed through. His
position was bolstered by a letter
to WPA headquarters from Thomas
Finney, chief of the California en-
ployment service in FL Centre,
pointing out the need for employ
ment to take care of from 100 to
$50 men who are not "competi-
lively employable".
This group of men. that Finney
believed would always present a
problem, could be absorbed by the
city projects and thereby be kept
off the direct relief rolls.
About 20 men were released late
