Drought relief and increased expenditures in urban centers should easily pull this
figure up to the $200,000,000
estimated here.
This is a negligible figure
but probably these low expenditures will continue inasmuch
as the C.W.A. has a $40,000,000
•unexpended balance •

Cattle & Sheep
(5 mos.)

Loans to Receivers of
Closed Banks by RFC
(6 mos.)

COMMENTS

It is estimated that the
total $100,000,000 appropriated
will be s-oent by the first of
the yea.r with big expenditures
coming during September and
October.

This is a highly questionable item. Work is highly
seasonal and the loans and
grants made to public bodies
are not going out in any volume. The failure of the P.W.A.
has been one of the great lessons in this depression in regard to how a spending program
Tirost not be worked.

While in the law the Secretary of Agriculture probably lias
the power to change the processing tax so that it could become
negligible in amovnt if this
course was taken benefit payments
would have to stop also until
Congress would appropriate additional money to carry them on.
This figure is extremely arbitrary and there would have to
be a great deal of pressure on the
R.P.Cf. to get the funds out at
this rate.
