Gov. O'Conor explained that while
the method aimed at simplicity, il
also took steps to guard against un-
justiflable requests for State plan
ming funds by calling on the local
governmental unit to certify that its
share of the costs-at least half
was available.
1t would also require the local
legislative body to adopt a resolu-
ton guaranteeing the units par
ticipation.
Because the legislature recognized
the need for early preparation for
the postwar period, the Governor
continued, provisions were made for
a war emergency fund, a general
emergency fund and postwar con-
Struction fund.
Two preliminary steps toward OBJ
tanning the grants were provided
in the manual for local units:
l. Make application to the Com
mission on Postwar Reconstruction,
subject to approval by the Board of
Public Works.
2. Give assurance that the local
share of the costs will be available.
There also should be descrip-
ton of the project. preliminary
estimate of construction cost, data
on the value and desirability of the
project as community and postwar
project and the man-years of en-
ployment the project may provide
A separate application must be
filed for each project.
