Projects to Provide
Work in County Are
Urged by Mrs. Byron
Maryland Senators and Repre-
sentative Informed That 25
Percent of Residents Are
Unemployed

Representative Katharine Byron, of
the Sixth district, announced that
she had made representations to
Federal authorities for reinstatement
of Works Progress projects in the
western part of the district, especial
ly in Garrett county, as a means of
providing employment for approx
mately 1 900 men and women not
qualified for defense work.
1t has been represented to Mrs.
Byron and the Maryland Senators
that approximately twenty-five per
cent of the population of the country
are unemployed They are unskilled
and cannot secure employment in de-
Tense work. and unless employment is
provided they will face great hard
ship during the coming winter. This
is result of a meeting with the
state representatives in Washington
several weeks ago, attended by the
County Commissioners, mayor of
Oakland, ClldlI man VI VIC SOullCy
Democratic Committe and others.
Situation Explained
"Thcse needs are so pressing and
of an emergency nature that the
Board of County Commissioners
recommends and urges the adoption
of work program that can be put
into effect Immediately, on such i'm
provements as farm to market roads,
improvement of streets in Oakland
and other towns, as well as other
similar projects that would be of
great benefit in the development of
this section, providing a livelihood to
the large portion of the population of
this county" it was explained.
1t also was explained that the con-
struction of the Savage River Dam
now under construction near the Allie
gany-Garrett county line is project
not sponsored by Garrett county Of
the 900 men employed on this project
only about $50 are residents of the
county and who live a considerable
distance from the project itself.
Probe Is Suggested
The county commissioners informed
Mrs. Byron that, eve consider this
request for reinstatement of the
WPA in this county, to be of the
most practical and ready means to
solve the local problem of unemploy-
ment"
The commissioners also suggested
to Mrs Byron that an immediate in
vestigation be made by Federal au-
thorities of the ACCESSIBILITY of Great
ing worthy projects that may be APP
proved in that section.
