(Modernization) Hot in Treasury Statement Processing Tax Removal 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. 10 40 322 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. 530 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.
