REPORT ON PROGRESS OF THE WORKS PROGRAM
CONTINUA.fION OF THE WORKS PROGRAM UNDER THE EMERGENCY RELIEF APPROPRIATION ACT OF 1936
Included in the First Deficiency Appropriation Aet, fiscal year 1936, as Title
II, is the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1936. Approved by the President on
June 22, 1936, this act appropriated tl,425,000,000 for the continuation of relief, e.nd
work relief on useful projects suoh as were provided for in the Emergency Relief Appro•
priation Act of 1936. The provisions of the 1936 Aot also oover auoh unexpended balan•
oes of the $4,sso.ooo.ooo appropriated by the 1936 Aet a s ~ be made available by the
President. These funds are to remain availa.ble until June 30, 1937, and, as under the
previous aot, are to be used at the discretion and under the direction of the President.
PROVISIONS OF THE ACT
Project Limitations
Among the provisions of the act which represent departures from the requirements of the 1936 .Aot are the limitations on the types of Federal and non-Federal proj•
eots for which the appropriation~ be available and on the amount to be expended tor
each type. The ten general categories and the limitations prescribed for each are as

may be increased by 15 percent through transfer from one or more
of the other categories. Projects approved by the Pr-esident prior to the passage of the
Act are exempted from these limitations.
Any of these limitations
Ftmds for the Civilian Conservation Corpe are not included under this appropria•
tion, but t3os,ooo,ooo was appropriated for this purpose elsewhere in the First Deficiency
Appropriation Act.
Another new requirement concerning projects is that no Federal pl"Ojeot financed
under the act may be started until an &mot.mt sufficient for its completion has been allocated and irrevocably set aside. The 1936 Aot contained no statutory provision regarding
ompletion of projects but this was provided by Presidential direction.
l
2
Wage Policy
The general wage policy prescribed by the new act differs from that of the 1936
Act in that it requires that the wage rates paid under the Works Program shall not be leaa
than the prevailiDg rates of pay for work of a similar nature. 'l'he 1'PA, with the approval
of the President, is to determine what constitutes the prevailing wage in ea.oh locality.
Under the 1935 Aot it was required that wage rates be established which would accomplish the
purposes of the aot without affectiDg adversely or otherwise tending to decrease the prevailing rates of wages paid for work of a similar nature in private industry.
Eligibility for Employment
Three new provisions relating to eligibility for employment on work projects are
contained in the 1936 Act. It provides first that applicants for employment who are in
actual need but who have not previously been on the relief rolls shall be accorded the same
eligibility for employment as those who have appeared on these rolls. It also provides that
the receipt of adjusted-service bonds or Treasury checks in payment of an adjusted-compensa•
tion certificate shall not be considered in determining the actual need of applicants for
employment. In addition, the agencies supervising projects may not knowingly employ aliens
illegally within the United states, and must disoha.rge suoh aliens if their status is dis•
closed.
Provisions Regarding FERA and fflA
The 1936 Act provides for the liquidation of the affairs of the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration during the coming fiscal year. FERA funds are made available for that
purpose until June 30, 1937.
The Public Works Administration is empowered by the 1936 Act to continue to aid
in financing projects similar to those financed by it in the past. It is authorized to use,
upon the direction of the President, a sum not to exceed $300,000,000 from funds on band or
received from the sale of securities for the making of grants. Such grants are limited to
46 percent of the cost of projects, to project~ which can be substantially completed by
July 1, 1938, and to proJects for which the financing of the remaining cost is assured.
Administration
The President is authorized to prescribe suoh rules and regul&tions as may be
necessary to carry out the purposes of the appropriation. He may utilize Government agencies and empower them to prescribe rules and regulations to carry ~ut the functions dele•
gated to them.
As under the 1935 Act, projects to provide relief and work relief wll be submitted
to the President for approval by the various Federal agencies. Projects of local govermnental units suoh as States, counties, or municipalities , to be financed from funds appropriated
by the ERA Act of 1936, are submitted to the President through the WPA. The eligibility requirements prescribed for various types of projects in the 1936 Act are substantially the semi
as under the old program. In general, the same methods of operation will obtain.
Under authority granted by the 1936 Act, the President on June 22, 1936, in Exec~tive Order No. 7396, continued in effect the rules and regulations issued by him under the
Dnergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935, insofar as they are applicable and except for
those covering rates of pay and eligjbility for employment. This order authorizes the WPA
to continue to provide relief, and work relief on useful projects in accordance with allocations of funds made to it by the President from time to time, and also empowers the WPA
to prescribe necessary rules and regulations for the operation of the Works Program.

NEW PROCEDURES REI.AT ING TO EMPLOYMENT
The Works Progress Administrator in Administrative Order No. 44, issued July 11,
1936, continued the previously existing rules and regulations relati ng to wages, hours of
work, and oonditions of employment exoept for oertain modifica.tions neoessitated by the
provisions of the 1936 Act.
One of these concerns prevailing wage rates. The Works Progress Administrator
del egated to the va.rioua State Administrators the responsibility for establishing prevail•
1ng hourly wage rates, mandatory for all projects finanoed in whole or in part from tunds
appropriated by the ~rgency Relief Appropriation Act of 1956. State Administrators are
instructed to obtain all available data as the basis for determining such hourly rates,
and where feasible, to hold bearings on the aubjeot. From these data sohedules of rates
are to be established by counties or other political subdivisions, or by work projeot~.
The aohedulee are to be made a-n.ilab]e to all interested parties and to be made effective
for all payrolls beginning on or after July l.
Maximum hours of work for project workers are set at 8 hours per de.y, 40 hour s
per week, and 140 hours per month. The hours to be worked at the determined hourly wage
rate by ~ worker are to be sufficient to total the amoUllt specified by the monthly earn•
inge sohedule, but are not to exceed 140 hours per month.
The schedule of maximum monthly earnings established in Executive Order 7046,
issued Kay 20, 1935, with administrative adjustments subsequently made, is contained in
tull force and effect by Administrative Order No. 44. However, the old provision under
wbioh workers were credited for time lost through oiroumstances beyond their control is
eliminated. Instead it is provided that wages may be paid only for time actually wor ked.
Nevertheless, time lost as a result of weather conditions or temporary interruptions i n
t he operation of projects may be made up by the project employee by working an additional
number of hours during succeeding payroll months. J.n such oases the monthly earnings l imit
may be exceeded during the make-up period. Administrative and •upervisory project employees and owner-operators of teams, trucks, and equipment, are exempted from these wage
and maximum earnings regulations.
Another provision of Administrative Order No. 44 is that no person imder the
age of 18 years and no one whose age or physical condition is suoh as to make employment
dangerous to his or her safety or the health or safety of others may be employed on a work
project. Young people working on National Youth Administration projects as of July 1,
1936, between the ages of 16 and 18 years and those receiving aid imder the student Aid
Progr am are excepted from this age provision.
That preference in the employment of workers on projects shall be given to persons certified as in need of relief by a publio relief agency approved by the WPA is also
specified by Order No. 44. It requires that, except under specific exemption authoriz ation of the Federal Works Progress Administration, at least 90 percent of the workers on
a project shall be such persons.
The assignment of all certified persons to work projeots financed in whole or
in part tram tunds appropriated by the new act is the responsibility of the WPA. Where
noncertified persona are required because certified persons are not available, such
nonoertified persona must be referred to projects by the employment offices designated by
the United states Employment Service. Actual assignment thereafter ie also the responsibility of t he 11P.A.. All 110rkera, however. are expected to maintain active registration
with the employment offices designated by the USES.
The order also repeats the statutory prohibitions as to aliens illegally within
the country and consideration of receipt of bonus in determining the need for employment.

ALLOCATIONS UNDER THE EMERGENCY RELIEF APPROPRIATION ACT OF 1936 THROUGH JUNE 30, 1936
As of June 30, 19~6, the President had allocated a total of f370,212,600 under
the F.mergency Relief Appropriation Aet of 1936. Of this sum $360,041,000 was allocated to
the WPA for the following purposes, t360,000,000 for the prosecution of non-Federal projects within the 'Various states, ll0,000,000 for administrative expenses, and 141,000 for
assistance to educational, professional and clerical persons in New York City. The remaining $10,171,500 was allocated to agencies other than the WPA. The United states Employees'
Compensation Commission received 19,000,000 for disability and death compensation of employees on the Works Program, $111,500 went to the Library of Congress for the construction
of talking book ma.chines, and 11,000,000 to the Puerto Rico Reconstruction Administration
of the Department of the Interior.

EMERGENCY DROUGHT RELIEF MEASURES
By July 15, the Department of Agrioulture Drought Committee had designated as
Emergency Drought Areas 452 counties in 14 States of the West and South whioh had been reduced to a serious condition by continued lack or rain and record breaking heat.
other
counties are being added
ARE.\S
daily as the drought damage
beoomes more extensive. With
grain and other crops reaching the stage of total loss
even for use as livestook
feed, forag e grass burned
brown, serious shortages of
water both for human residents and for livestook,
and with grasshoppers,
criokets, and uther pests
in many places feeding upon
the small remnants of vegetation, these areas are in
need of immediate aid. The
WPA, Resettlement Administration, Agrioultural Adjustment
Administration and various
bureaus of the Department of Agriculture are oooperating to provide the needed assistance
expeditiously.
WPA PROJECT EXPANSION
Aid extended by the WPA in drought areas is being provided .through the expansion
of employment on projects planned and sponsored by looal bodies in these States and already
approved for operation. State Administrators were given authorization,as of July 9, to employ a preliminary total of about 55,000 persons in the five States hardest bit by the drought
disaster (the Dakotas, Minnesota, Montana, and Wyoming). Approximately half this number
have already been put to work building dams at strategio points along streams, oreating artificial lakes, digging community wells, and carrying out other water conservation projects
designed not only to alleviate the immediate situation but also to minilllize the effects of
future dry seasons~ Flood control projects, farm-to-market roads, and projects to combat
ravaging insect pests are also providing employment in the afflicted areas.
North and South Dakota,where conditions in many oounties are said to be worse
than in 1934, are being dotted with water conservation projects. In employing its quota
of 20,000 men, North Dakota is planning for an average of four dams per county
in addition to deep well projects in livestock areas • .Among these is the largest earth-filled dam in the world, impounding the waters of a spring-fed creek
to assure a constant water supply for farmers and ranchers within a radius of 10 miles.
South Dakota ha.a started 58 dam projeots and 110 road projeots in its effort to supply employment to 17,000 persona.
~ployment for 7,500 workers in Minnesota will be provided on some of the 250
projects whioh are part of the State's long-range conservation program. These vary in
size from small dams at the outlets or lakes, built for $1,000 to the t2,500,000
Minnesota
Lao Qui Parle flood control project which will avert spring floods as well as
impound the waters of Big Stone Lake for release in dry seasons.
I
6
In Montana., where s.ooo drought sufferers are to be given work., ebou.t 200 water
conservation projects have already been approved and hundreds of others submitted. Many
of these are for Slll8.ll reservoirs to store spring flood waters not for crop irrigation but
for watering livestock on range land during the dry season. At present thousands of acres
of range land a.re unusable because., with streams dried up, they are too far from
Montana water for sheep and cattle to travel. Outstanding among the WPA water conservation projects in this State is one on which a 12-mile canal leading the flood 1'1'8.ters of the
Musselshell River into Dead Man's Basin will create a lake four miles in diaroeter. Water
released from this lake will control the flow of the riVRr to pr~vide water for stock as
nll as make rffective certain old irrigation projects for which the stre8J!l flow in dry
seasona has been inadequate.
I
To the serious drought situation
in Wyoming has been added the problem of fightI
ing forest fires. Water conservation projects also a.re being speeded to proyOllll.ng. vide employment for the additional 2,000 persons for whom
W
:
employment has been
authorized in this State.
While the drought situation so fe.r has been less acute in Colorado, Nebraska, e.nd
Oklahoma, reports indicate that conditions in these States a.re rapidly becoming more serious .
Increased employment on water conservation and farm-to -market road projects in these States
is anticipated, although specific plans have not yet been made public.
Drought conditions in several States of the South have withered cotton, corn, and
seed crops and thrown thousands of farm laborers out of work. At the same time the vege table
southern plots on which these workers depended for their food supply have dried up, maleDrought
ing their need imperative. Authorization has already been given to employ an
States
additional 20.000 workers in South Carolina., Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee,
Virginia, Arkansas, and Alabama.
RESETTLEMENT SUBSISTENCE PROGRAM
Important among the Resettlement Administration's emergency activities in the
drought areas is its allotment of more than t5.500,000 for emergency subsistence needs i n
17 States. These funds, which a.re made available to farmers either in the form of loans or
grants, are particularly important to those who are unable to leave their own farms to secure WPA employment . In addition, the Administration has declared a moratorium of one year
on all individual rehabilitation loans owed to it in the officially designated drought
areas, on a specific showing by the borrower of a laok of cash resources.
Most of the work of the Resettlement Administration in the drought areas represents an amplification of its long-range program for sections of the country where drought
conditions have been serious for a number of years. Forty-one land-use-adjustment projects in ·North and South Dakota, Montana.. Nebraska,and Wyoming involve the purchase of
appro7.imately 4,000.000 acres of land unsuited to farming for conversion into controlled
grazing ran~s. In addition to these demonstration projects, the Administration has been
cooperating with such other Federal agencies as the National Pe.rk Service, the Office of
Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Biological Survey in purchasing unproductive land.
AAA CATTLE PURCHASE PROGRAM
Five million dollars are available from the amended Agricultural Adjustment Act
of 1935 for the purchase of about 150.000 head of cattle in markets which have become
flooded through liquidation of livestock holdings in the drought•stricken States. This
cattle purchase program is being conducted by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration
in cooperation with the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation which will donate the meat
products thus obtained to State Relief Administrations for distribution among needy
families.
The Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation is handling the distribution in
drought areas of commodities obtained by the AAA in connection with the remove.l of sur-
7
pluses in the hands of growers in other States. The AAA reports that 679 oarloads of foodstuffs suoh as beans, beef, flour, dry millc, pears, and prunes for human subsistence, i.nd
176 carloads of livestock feed have been shipped into the drought-damaged areas. The
Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation is also distributing five carloads of fresh
wgetables donated by tne California Emergency ae11ef Ach.d.nistration.
PARTICIPATING BUREAUS
Under a $1,500,000 allooation of f'unds from the ERA Aot of 1936, the Soil Conservation Service will expand its work of preventing soil erosion in the drought areas. Most
of a $600,000 allocation made to the Biological Survey on July 13 will also be used in
these areas on six projects to oonserve water, oheck floods and erosion, and erect earthfil,led dams. The Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine has applied for $250,000 to
control insect pests, notably grasshoppers, in the drought States, but approval by the
President has not yet been given. In addition, the Extension Service of this Department
is cooperating with the State Welfare Board of North Dakota in purchasing cattle and
moving them from the southwestern part of the State to pasturage in the northeastern
section. A revolving fund provided by the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation is
finanoing this work.

RELIEF EXTENDED DURmG THE FIRST QUARTER OF 1936
During the past year sulietantial ohangea have ooourred in the administration of
relief and in the Federal Govermnent's partioipation in this activity. One of the moat
important ohanges was the establishment of the Works Program. including the Works Progress
Administratio11•• to provide employment for persons on relief rolls. The Emergency Relief
Appropriation Act of 1936 continued this program and broadened it to include persons cart1fied as needing relief. It also provided for the liquidation of the Federal ~ergenoy
Relief Administration. With most of the families with employable persons oared for by
Works Program employment, final grants of Federal funds for emergency relief were made during the last two months of 1935. Since that time the liquidation of State Emergenoy Relief
Administrations has been going forward in some States. The problem of providing relief of
the type formerly administered under FERA grants is being met through State and looal funds.
Another important ohange affecting t he r elief situation in several States has resulted from
the establishment of the Social Seourity Board whioh. through its Public A.ssistanoe Division. makes grants in aid to States when their plans for the administration of aid to the
aged. the blind. and dependent children are approved.
Sinoe its establishment the Resettlement Administration has made loans and
grants to farmers in need. Additional funds to oontinue this program were included· in
the Emergency Relief App opriation Act of 1936. Throughout reoent months the Federal
Surplus COlllllodities Corporation has continued to provide a.u rplus oommodities for distribution by State and local agencies to families in need of relief.
The transfer of the Federal Government's participation 1n the relief program
from provision of grants in aid to the States for general relief to the operation of the
Works Program and to other activities has been a JUOst important factor in the changes whloh
have taken plaoe in relief administration in the various States this year. Legislative action provided State funds as the basis for improved and inteAU"ated organization in RCJ!lle
States, but in others l egislatures have not yet acted, with tne result that decentralization
has taken place. Largely as a result of legislative aotion this year. a nl.U4~er of Scates
including approximately a fourth of the population of the United States. have established
Departments of Public Welfare to administer general assistance and also aid to the aged,
the blind• and dependent ohildren. .Ln other States. representing a sixth of the population. no State funds and no State organization for the adiliinistratio~ of general relief
have been provided this year. In some of these states. in which the establi shment of permanent Departments of Publio Welfare during the next. yeu seems possible. final grants or
FERA funds are being useo. for the maintenance of temporary departments. In the State& 1·emaining. State funds for general assistance have been appropriated and some State organization exists . These vary from organizationa with centralized administrative oontrol.
which may form the basis of f'uture Departments of Publio Welfare, to skeleton organizations
whose only responsibility is the allooation of State funds to local govermnental units .
Trend of Relief
Largely as & result of these administrative changes the number of families and
single persons receiving general relief. as reported to the Works "Progress Administration,
declined from more than 5,000.000 in the early months of 1935 to an estimated total of
2,150,000 in January 1936 end of 1.930,000 in March 1936. Preliminary reports reoeived
for urban areas for the months of April, May, and June indioate that the downward trend
in evidence from January to March was continued. These reports indioate that the number
of oases declined 5.1 percent from Maroh to April, 5.3 peroent from April to May. and
4.9 percent from May to June. Obligations inourred for relief deolined in the same period, 1.0 percent from Ma.rob to April, 9.8 percent from April to May, and 3.2 peroent from
J4ay to June.
9
Families and single persons receiving general relief represented more than 15
percent of the populat ion of the United States in the first three months of 1935. On the
basis of recent esti mates, this ratio decreased to 5.6 percent for January 1936 and to
5 percent for March. The large decrease during the year was caused chiefly by transfers
to the Works Program, the majority of which took place in November and December 1936. The
slight decline f r om January to March 1936 may be attributed in part to Works Program and
private employment, and also to the decline in funds available for general relief and to
the increase in the number of persons receiving benefits under the Social Security Act.
The number of recipients of benefits under the provisions ot the Social Security
Act was approximately 400,000 in March 1936. Several States have reported transfers to
these special classes of assistance as reasons for significant declines in the number of
families receiving general assistance. In other states the plans approved by the Social
Security Board were continuations of State plans already in effect. Some expansion in
the number of per sons receiving benefits in these States occurred due to the fact that requirements f or eligibility had been liberalized and available funds had been increased.
It has been possible to obtain rea&onably complete and comparable reports for
the early months of 1936 for States in which Departments of Public Welfare have been established for the administration of all public assistance and for those in which adequate
State ad.mini stration has continued. For same of these States the data do not include all
general ass i stance given locally in accordance with poor-law provisions. It is believed
that the volume of this type of aid not included is relatively small for the group as a
whole and that t he States most seriously affected are California, Iowa, Illinois, Montana,
and Pennsylvania. . Attempts a.re now being made to obtain estimates of the amounts of relief excluded from the reports of these five States. The population of the 40 States for
whioh reasonably complete and comparable data were obtained for January, February, and
March, 1936, r epresent 83 peroent of the country's population. Of the total number of
cases which received relief in July 1935, when the Federal Works Program was inaugurated,
87 percent were in these areas.
In addition, four States have made reports for the first three months of 1936
incomplete, are comparable for a number of counties. Data reported for
although
which,
Colorado represent Denver County only, but include 28 percent of the State's population.
Data were reported for each of the three months for counties which represent 81 percent
of the populat i on of Georgia, 86 percent of the llinnesota population, and 59 percent of
the Nebraska popul ation.
Reports for the States of Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, Oklahoma., and Virginia
are too incomplete to give an adequate picture of the trend of relief. However, it has
been poss i ble throug~ the use of available data to make estimates for this group of States
as the basis of estimates for the entire United States.
The United States estimates indicate a decline in the number of cases receiving
re l ief amounting to 3. 7 percent from January to February and an additional decline of 6.8
percent from February to March. The resulting decrease from January to March was 10.2
percent. During the same period obligations incurred for general relief declined 8.1 percent.
In 5 of the 40 States increases in the number of cases receiving relief in both
February and March were reported. In only one State - Arkansas - were the increases in
both mont hs part icularly outstanding. In January the Arkansas Emergency Relief Administration had practically discontinued relief and the state Department of Public Welfare had
not yet been organized for this purpose. The increases in February and March represent
chiefly i ncr eases in the number of cases cared for by the Department of Public Welfare.
In 18 States the number of cases receiving relief declined in both February and March.
The outstanding decr ease in Mississippi resulted largely from the exhaustion of funds used
by the State Board of Emergency Relief, although tt may have been oo incident with
increased agricultura l employment. The substantial decreases indicated for some of these
10
states, as well as the contrasting increases and decreases shown in other States for Februa.ry
and Karch, are indicative, to same extent, of changes in administrative policies and in an.il•
able funds as well as or changes in economic conditions.
Comparison or relief expenditures from Federal, State, and local f'unds for the
first three months of 1935 and 1938, Yhioh may be made from the accompanying table, provides an indication or the relative importance of the three sources or funds for the two
years and of the increase in expenditures of state funds for general assistance in 1936.

Eatimated.
The marked decline in the amount of expenditures from local funds is chiefly the result of
the fact that in 1935 a significant proportion of the total (an average of $9,000,000 a
month for the first quarter) represented contributions to the FERA Work Relief Program
then in operation. Funds from similar sou.roes are now being used to assist in the financing of WPA projects. The figures for both years understate actual expenditures to some extent since SOllle relief provided through local funds under the supervision of local officials
was not reported. In a few States these local expenditures have been increased greatly in
1936 to compensate for the lack of State funds. The estimates shown in the table were
based on actual data for 40 States in January, February, and March and on estimates for the
remaining States. Since the data are at present incomplete, the estilnates are tentative
and subject to revision.
Average Monthly Benefits
Average monthly relief benefits per family receiving relief in the United States
declined considerably in most States between the first quartor of 1935 and the first
quarter of 1936. Reduction in average benefits followed almost imnediately the changes in
organizational set-up, policies, and methods or financing State relief administrations in
the latter part of 1935. Obviously the cessation of the relief contributions of the
Federal Govermnent was the primary reason for the decline in average monthly relief benefits per family.
Concurrently with the discontinuance of FERA grants, the work programs of State
Emergency Relief Administrations were greatly curtailed. The number of persons employed
on ERA work projects declined fl-om 2,3TO,OOO in March 1935 to approximately 24,000 in March
193~. In general, average amounts of relief extended under this program were higher than
average direct relief benefits. Since many families received both direct and work relief
during one month it is impossible to obtain exact figures on either the average amount of
direct or work relief or the average number of persons per family receiving direct relief
or work relief. Consequently, it cannot be determined to what extent the higher average
ll
relief benefits in the first quarter of 1935 resulted from higher allowances made in many
States to families receiving work relief earnings or from the fact that workers with larger
families were generally given preference in assignments to jobs. With the transfer to the
Works Program of the great :majority or families having employable members. the average
number of persons per family has deolined scmewhat as is shown in Table 13 at the end of
this report.
The average amount of relief per family. however, has declined much more than
the average number of persons, and this difference may be attributable to the reduction in
available funds. The deoline in funds has also brought about a lowering of relief standards
in oertain States. In many localities, pe..rtioularly urban centers, payments for items such
as rent and olothing, previously included in relief budgets, were not made in the first
quarter of 1936, and food allowances were often out to a minimum. Also, restricted funds
necessitated more stringent eligibility requiremen1afor relief. It is possible that to some
extent the reduction in relief benefits in 1936 was due to a larger number of partial-budget
oases, i.e., oases to which relief was given as a supplement to Works Program earnings, or
to income from other sources. In addition, some families reoeived relief during only part
of the month because of transfer to the Works Program or to the speoial olasses of
assistanoe established in many States under the provisions of the Social Security Act.
These factors are probably offset to some extent, however, by the lower ratio of families
with employable members now receiving general assistance. This tends to reduce the proportion of families receiving relief during only part of the month, as compared with a
year ago when intermittent unemployment was one of the chief reasons for dependency and a
larger proportion of the families received aid for brief periods.
A comparison of average monthly relief benefits per family or per case for the
first three months of 1935 with those for the first three months of 1936 is presented in
Table 13. Averages have been computed for the two periods for 38 States and the District of
Columbia. Ten States, Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia have been excluded because of lack of comparable data. It should be noted that most of the states excluded are in the eastern,
south central, southeastern, and southwestern sections of the country, and therefore averages appearing in the table for states in these areas carmot be regarded as representative
of the entire areas.
Because of varying relief standards in the several States, the average benefits
are not to be interpreted as measures of need. Neither are they representative of the
actual amounts made available to families entirely dependent on relief throughout the month,
because of the method used in computing average benefits. The averages were obtained by
dividing the total amount of relief extended to families during each month by the total
number of different families which received relief at any time during that month. In
those States for which data on the number of families and single persons were not reported
separately, averages were computed on the basis of relief extended to all cases (both
families and single persons) receiving relief. In a few States adjustments have been made
to make data reported this year more complete, and consequently comparability with data
for last year bas been impaired to some extent. None of these adjustments, however, were
of sufficient magnitude to oause significant differences in the average amounts of relief
per family.
With the exception of two States (New Hampshire and Kentucky) the monthly
average of relief per family was lower in the first quarter of 1936 than in the first quarter of 1935. It should be observed that the average number of persons per family also declined sli ghtly in most States, thus affecting the average relief benefits to some extent.
In New Hampshire the average number of persons per family as well as the average monthly
relief benefits for the months under consideration increased from 1935 to 1936. In six
other States the average number of persons per family was greater in 1936 than in 1935,
although the average relief benefits were lower.

PROGRESS OF TBE WORKS PROGRAM
EMPLOn!ENT -
Each week except the first during the month of June 1936 witnessed a decrease in
number of persons employed under the Works Prog:r8lll until by JUlle 27 the total had
dropped to approximately 3,304,000 -workers. As 1e indicated 1n the table on page 14
WPA employment declined to 2,256,000 persons by the latter part of JU!le, representing 68
percent of the entire Program, and Emergency Conservation Corps workers was reduced to
S81,000, forming nearly 12 percent of the total. The number of workers on other Federal
agenoy projeots , however, rose to nearly 667,000. The Bureau of Public Roads, according
to latest available figures for that agency, employed alJD.ost 234,000 persons during the
wek ending June 20. With about 162,000 employees, the Non-Federal Division of PWA was
responsible for nearly a fourth of the number of workers reported for all other agencies on
June 27. The Resettlement Administration, employing 65,000 persons,
ns followed by t.he Corps of En~ .ieers, the Puerto Rico Reconstruction Administration, the Soil
Conservation Service, and the
Bureau of Entomology and Plant
Quarantine, all employing between
25,000 and 40,000 workers. Table

Employment on Emergency Conservation Work, after a rise during April and May
oooasioned by a CCC enrollment period, receded during June. By June 27, with a reduction
of 28,000, the total had fallen almost to the level maintained in April before CCC enrollment began to ahow its effects. Between the end of May and June 20 the Bureau of
Public Roads added 34,000 persons to its payrolls. The Non-Federal Division of PWA had
gained more than 15,000 workers by June 27. The Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine
reported an increase of 2,000 employees during the week of June 13 that was maintained
through June 27. A gain of 1,700 workers was also made by t.he Resettlement .Administration.
On the other hand the Bureau of Yards and Docks reported employment decreased by more than

In thirteen States employment under the other Federal agencies had expanded to
the extent of more than 1,000 workers. A gain of nearly 10,000 persons in Texas due
largely t o expansion of employment under the Bureau of Public Roads greatly exceeded the
increase i n any other State. Employment data by states are presented in Tables 5 and 4.
Workers secured from relief sources represented 85 peroe~t of all persons employed
W1der t he Works Program during the week ending June 27. As indicated in the accompanying
chart relief r olls supplied nearly 95 percent of the workers on 'WPA projects and more than
87 percent of the total engaged in Emergency Conservation Work. Other agencies employing
large mimbers of persons, of whom more than 70 percent came from the relief rolls, were
the Puerto Rico Reconstruction Administration, Bureau ot Yarda and Docks, Forest Service,
Quartermaster Corps, Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine, and the Corps of Engineers.
The Bureau of Public Roads reported (u of June 20) 41 percent of its workers fran relief
souroes,while 30 percent of the employees of the HQn-Federal Division of PWA were certified
by relief agencies. The number of persons secured frOll'l relief rolls is shown by agencies

~ Workers in mrk
20
more nearly into line w1 th prevailing hourly- rate•, are in part responsible for the increase. other factors especially pertinent to recent periods include the increasing
relative importance of WPA projects affording work for professional and skilled workers,
and a temporarily higher proportion of supervisory workers during the period of reduotion in total employment.
Since the geographic distribution of projects and the relative numbers of
skilled and technical W0rkers employed materially affect average hourly rates, comparisons between specitic types of projects should be made with due consideration to these
factors. As shown in the table on page 19 , workers on white collar projects and on
public building projects, with a..verage earnings of 60.4 and 54.7 cents, respectively, received the highest average hourly wage, the figures in both cases being somewhat in excess
of those for the period ending May 15. The wages paid on projects for the improvement of
recreational facilities, the only other type on which workers earned over 50 cents an
hour, were substantially the same as in May. For highway, road, and street projects and
those pertaining to conservation, goods, and sanitation and health, average earnings W8re
appreciably below the general average, while for public utilities, airports and other
transportation projects, and distribution of surplus commodities they were somewhat above
the general average. Goods projects, moat of which involve sewing. and sanitation and
health projects, which are largely rural, paid lower rates than any other group except
Work Camps, employees of which receive subsistenoe in addition to their actual wages.
Average hourly earninge for specific types or projects range from 68 cents tor
workers on buildings of charitable, medical,and mental inatitutions to S4 cents on tarmto-market roads and mosquito eradication (both of which are predominantly rural). Work
Camp employees reoei ved 20 cents an hour. Changes from the averages of May 15 are in most
oases slight, being most marked for types of projects which constitute a relatively small
part or the Program,
The importance of the variations in hourly earnings between types of projects
is dependent upon the proportion of the total hours of emploY109nt represented by the
various types. About 54 percent or the total emplo)'JD8nt during the first half of June 1IU
on h i ~ , road, and street projects. Most of the remainder was divided among goods
projects, with lS percent; white collar project,, with 12 percentJ parks and other
recreational facilities, with 10 percentJ and eewer systems and other utilities, and public
buildings each with 9 percent of the total employment. No other group accounted for as
much as 5 percent of the total. White collar, public building, and goods projects show
an appreciable increase in the proportion of total hours worked as compared with the first
half of May. Highways, roads, and streets, flood control and other conservation, eewer
eystems and other utilities, and sanitation and health projects accounted for a somewhat
smaller proportion of total hours than in the preceding period. Changes result principally from the varying rates at which reduction in employment is taking pla.oe. To some
extent the shifts are due to the effect of eee.sonal factor, in modifying the suitability
of specific types of projects, but they are largely due to the late start and consequent
lag in the reduction of employment on gpods and white collar projeota.

ANALYSIS OF WPA EMPLODlENT., WAGE BJ.TES., AND EARNINGS
Ka.rob 1956
For the aonth ot March 1936 an unduplioated oount was made of the number of persona
working on WPA projeots. Persons were olassitied as being employed by WPA during lla.roh it
the latest payroll ending in lla.reih on whioh they
appeared was for a WPA projeot. Exoluded from
the aooompanying tabulations are persons whose
aervioes were made available by funds provided
by sponsors of projeots, administrative employees., persona who operated their own equipment,
persons in Work Campa., and youths employed on
WPA projects at one-third the aeourity wa.ge rate.
Data oovering these groups as well aa persona
employed on projeots of other Federal ageno1ea
pe.rtioipating in the Works Program will be presented in subsequent issues of this report.
UNDER THE WPA PROGRAM DURING MARCH
Nearly 3,000,000 persons
were employed
- OUT OF EVERY 100 PERSONS ».1PLOYED

95 were from relief rolls

Workers earned an average of
$45.91 during the month
Among the basic policies governing
at the b0ginning of the Program, na
order
Executive
by
Works Program amployment, apeoif'ied
the provision of an assured monthly wage (aeourity wage) at which not less than 90 percent
of all projeot workers were to be employed. The established monthly earnings sohedule
specifying the rates at 11hich workers were to be paid divided the country into four wage
rate regions. Within eaoh region differentiation in rates was provided on the basis of tour
different classes of work and fin different population groups for the localities in whioh
the projeots operate. The highest rates within each region apply to oounties in whioh the
1930 population of the largest :nnmioipality was over 100,000., while the lowest are paid in
counties where the largest urban center had less than 5,000 persons. State Administrators
were given authority to modify the wage rates applioable to their States within 10 peroent
of the basio rates.
Tote.l Employment on WPA Projeots
Workers on 11PA projects in Karch numbered more than 2.,952.,000 of whom 84 peroent
ware men and about 16 peroent were 11'0men. Some 70 peroent ot all lfPA workers 1'8re employed
in Region I where the highest wage re.tea of the established earnings schedule apply. The
oonoentration in Region I of men employed on 'WPA projeots was muoh more marked, however., than
that of women workers. Only 55 peroent of the women., as oompared with over 73 peroent ot
the men, were reported in that region. Conversely., a muoh larger proportion of the women
than of the men nre employed in Regions III and IV. The table on page 80 shon the number
of men and 110mn employed on WPA projeots by States and by wage regions.

oollar projects t ogether employed approximately half of the worker s in the skillea wage
class. Professional and technical workers showed the most marked concentration on a
single type ot project, al.most three-quarters of all persons in this wage class being absorbed by white collar projects, partioularly ot the educational type. Wh.i te collar projects, on which only 14 percent of the workers were classified as unski lled, were the only
projects on which less than halt the workers were assigned in this lower wage class. The
table on page 82 gives tqe number and percentage of persona in each wage class for eaoh type
of project.
Occupations of WPA Workers
Persons employed on WPA projects during March have been olaasified according to
more than 80 specific types of jobs in addition to tho&e involving tmakilled work. In the
detailed tabulation on page 83, persons assigned in the professiona~ e.nd teclmical, skilled,
and intermediate wage classes are classified acoordng to five major oooupational groups,
professional e.nd technical workers, project supervisors, clerical end office workers, skilled
workers, and semiskilled workers. Persons assigned in the unskilled class a.re tabulated
according to the types of projects on which they were engaged i n either heavy manual work
or light tasks requiri ng no particular training or skill. A small number of persona assigned
a't intermediate rates but employed at unskilled work are included among the unskilled work•
ers in this tabula.tion. Thia number accounts tor the difference between the number of un•
skilled workers shown in the occupational tabulation and the number or pera~ns in the unskilled wage olus shown elsewhere in this discussion.
Approximately 76 percent of the 2,962,000 persons employed on WP.l projects were
given jobs r equiring little or no skill, such as shoveling, leveli ng, digging, cleaning
rights-of-way, and similar manual jobs, chiefly on highway, road, and str eet projects.
Goods projects (most ot them sewing projects employing women predominantly )J recreational
facilities pro jects i nvolving the construction of parka, playgrounds, swimming pools, and
athletic fields of various types; and projects on publicly owned or operated utilities also
provided employment for large proportions or the unaldlled workers . Ot t he remaining 24
percent ot the WPA workers, &bout 8 percent were employed in skilled jobs - carpenters,
construction foremen, painters, bricklayers, and stone masons . Five percent of the WPA jobs
wre tilled by clerical and office worker• chief among whom were clerlca. timekeepers, typi•t• am stenographer•, ,tatistical editors and enumerators. and bookkeepers, aooountants,
and auditor a • Protea siona.l and technical worker, including teachers• playground and rec•
reational workers, musioiana, and technical engineer• aooounted tor more than 4 l)ercent ot
the jobs, and another, percent were tilled by semiskilled workers ,uch aa truck driver,
(not uaing their own equipnent). oonatruotion equipment operator,. carpenters' helper, and
rodmen and ohaimnen. The smallest group consisted ot per,ons with supervisory dutiee •
project directors and toremen of non-construction projects.
Employment of Persona from Relief Rolla
A requirement of Works Program operation, apeoified by Executive order, 1a that
preterenoe in employment be given to persons from relief rolls. When persona are secured
from other sources their number 1a limited to 10 percent of the total employment. Workers
taken from relief rolls constituted more than 96 percent of' the total of about 2,720,000
per•ons employed in March on 'ffPA projects in the United States, excluaive of' New York City
where data on the previous relief' statue of workers are not available.

Asaipd Monthly Wage Rates and Aotual Earnings of Security Wage Workers
The monthly wage ratea at which .,..c, ~.819,000 security wage workers (representing
more than 95 percent of all WPA project workers) were employed in March anraged ts2.03.
Thia rate represents an increase of 4 per~nt over the aftrage of $50.03 for December l9S5.
Actual earnings of these security wage workers averaged t45.91 in March, an increase ot
more than 10 percent over the corroapcnding December average of $41.57. That the rise in
actual earnings was ao much greater than the increase in wage rates between these two 29r•
ioda ia a reflection of the relatively greater stability of employment under the WPA program in March as compared with December. This more sustained employment gave a larger pro•
pdrtion of WPA workers an opportunity to earn a tull month's wages during March, with the
result that average earnings tor that month represented approximately 88 percent of the uligned monthly wage rate a.s against only 83 percent in December when ?ll8IIY workers ware able
to earn only part of a month' a wages.

--------- ----------The general upward trend of average wage rates and the consequent rise in earning•
between December 1935 and March 1956 1e explained largely in terms of two factors a an increase 1n the proportion of persons assigned in the higher wage class, consequent to the
expansion of types of projects requiring more skilled workers; and increases in scheduled
W'6.ge rates made by State Administrators. To a lesser extent the decline in 'WPA employment
in rural areas as agricultural employment showed seasonal improvemen... , resulting in a larger
proportion of the total workers being employed at the higher urban wage rates, also contributed to the rise in average wage rates and earnings .
The March averages of both assigned wage rates and actual earnings showed marked
differences from one wage region to another largely because of the differentiation in wage
rates provided in the established earnings schedule, but to some extent because of variation
in the influence of the fa~rs mentioned in the preceding paragraph. In Wage Region I,
where the highest rates exist under the monthly earnings schedule and 'Which had 70 percen't
of the total WPA employment, monthly wage rates averaged $60.36 in Maroh. Wage rates in
Region II averaged $40.99 as compared with 130.28 and $28.68, respectively, in Regions III
and IV. The small difference between the averages for Regions III and IV is due primarily
to the larger number of persons in Region IV than in Region III who were employed on project, involving the more highly skilled types of work. Since March the differentiation
between these two regions has been eliminated, Region III being redefined to include the
States previouely composing Region IV.
Average monthly wage rates also differ from State to state within wage regions
as a res ult of differences in the proportion of counties which are in the higher popula-
tion groups, and to which the higher wage rates therefore applyJ differences in the proportions of workers assigned in the more highly paid wage classes, f\Dd differences in the
magnitude and soope of wage adjustments authorized by State Administrators. For instance,
the highest wage rates, averaging $73.86 per worker, were paid in New York City where the
highest rates of the earnings schedule (on the baeis of population) apply and 'Where the
Administrator has adjusted the rates for most classes of workers upward to the 10 percent
limit. At the other extreme within Region I was South Dakota. There the small size
of population centers and the smaller proportion of workers employed at skilled rates
resulted in an average wage rate of only J44.44 in Maroh. Both average monthly wage ratee
and average monthly earni ngs of security wage workers are shown by States and wage regions
in the table on page 84 of this report.
The average amount actually earned by aeourity wage workers during Ms.rob showed
similar variations from regi on to region and from state to State. While the average for
all 'll'Orkers on WPA projects throughout the United States was $45.91. the earning• per
worker for the various wage rate regions ranged from $53.60 in Region I to $24.59 in
Region IV. As indicated in the tabulation above the relationship between wage rates
and earnings was similar for all regions, alt hough in Regions III and IV the difference
between the two was slightly greater than elsewhere. That actual earnin&a do not equal
assigned ,.,age rat es is due, as mentioned previously, to the fact that in many instances
workers are not able to put in the full number of scheduled hours of work. This situation
28
aay arise when a worker is employed on a project during only a part of a 110nth or when he
TOluntarily abaente hiaaelf .trom work because of aickneea or other oauaes. In Karch.
however. the divergenoe between earnings and wage rates waa reduced not only because proj•
eota 11'9re under way throughout the llOnth. but also because emergency tlood conditions in
certain eastern states neceeaitated hours of work longer than those established. with compensatory increases in earnings in aome instances. In addition. the restaggering of payrolls to provide an even flow ot accounting documents and 11JD.1lar teolmioal factors moditied to a limited extent the actual earnings reported tor Karch.
Variation in Wages of lien and Women Workers
COllparieon or the wage rates or aen and WOilen workers on WPA projects indicates
that. throughout the country aa a whole. the average rate at which men were assigned was
about 7 percent higher than that for women. Nevertheless, for all wage regions and all
but seven States the wage rates for women averaged more than those for men. However, in
110st states the difference amounted to lese than 5 percent and in only seven instances did
it exceed 10 percent. Thia situation resulted trom the tact that in most of the States and
in all wage regions relatively more women than men were employed at occupations to which
the higher wage rates apply. The higher United states average wage rate for men in the
face of higher averages for women in all the wage reglons i• due only to the much larger
proportion ot YC11Den t han aen employed in the three wage regions where the lower scales ot
wages are in effeot. Approxilllately 45 percent of the wcmen and less than 27 percent of the
aen were located in these regions.
Similarly, the actual earnings ot women on 11PA projects were higher than tho se
or aen in all but five States although for the country aa a whole the average earuinge or
110J11en workers were about 6 percent lower than those of men (143.94 aa compared with t46.28),
Women'• average earning• were relatively highest aa compared with men 's in Wage Regions
III and IV. fhe excess amounted to 10 percent or more in all but three of the states in
these regions. while in Regions I and II thia exoesa was attained in only 12 out of 4-0
instances.
In the relationship of wage rates to actual earnings, comparison of the averages
tor men and women workers reveals only alight differences. For the moat part women tended
to earn a slightly larger proportion or their assigned wage ratee (89.5 percen,; a• ooa-. pared with 88.0 percent tor Mil). The gJ"eater eta. ili~ ot emplo:,Mnt provided under , ...
iDg projects and white collar projeote, on whioh aoat ot the waaen nre working. aooounte

1fPA AIRPORT AND AIRWAY PROJECTS
ImproveJD9nts in modern flying equipment and the oonsequent rapid increase in
airplane tratfio have neoessitated the further development of aviation ground facilities
and aids to avigation. Coordinating the satisfaction of this need wi. th the major purpose
of providing employment for persons formerly on the relief rolls, the Works Progress
Administration has undertaken an airport and airway program embracing the construction
of airports• draining. filling in. and leveling of landing fields• oonstruotion of new
runways and paving of old ones. oonstruotion and remodeling of hangars and administr~tion
buildings, installation of beacon lights, airway marking, and provision of radio facilities.
Among the projects in operation
are a number started under the
Civil Works Program and the
Federal Emergency Relief Administration which are being completed
by the WPA.
The WPA created a Division
of Airways and Airports, operating
directly under its Chief Engineer,
to plan and administer a compreMnsive national pro.~ am of airway
and airport develo~ut on publicly
owned land in cooperation with all
interested agenoies of the Federal
Government as well as w1 th State
and local bodies. Wherever State
organizations had worked out plans
wi. thin their own boundaries, these
'l'RUCD, !RACTORS, AND DRAilfPIPES
were utilized in the national soheme.
llECESSARY Di AIRPOOT CONSTRUCT IOH
Since the primary purpose of the
WPA is to provide 110rk for the
greatest possible number of persons from relief rolls, the availability of relief labor was
given first consideration llhen the national plan was evolved.
ilthough many desirable projects in the national plan are brought to the attention of local officials by the Division, all projeots are originated and sponsored by
local commmities. Before any aeronautioal project is actually selected for operation by
a State Administrator , the Bureau of Air Commerce (or its local representatives in the
case of work estimated to cost less than $50,000) must give written approval as to
technical aeronautical features such as suitability of site and types of materials to be
used. During construction the Bureau of Air Commerce and its field representati vea are
responsible for providing technical advioe, consultation, and general supervision. The WPA
is responsible for administration, work procedure, utilization of labor and equipment, and
the cost of oonstruction. To preolude the possibility of a project being left in an unfinished state because of changes in relief conditions, the construction work is divided
into small uni ta. When a projeot is completed representatives of the Bureau of Air Comnerce
make a final inspection, and when a project is discontinued or suspended they determine
llhat additional work, if any, is required to leave it in a safe and usable condition.
In addition to the Department of Commerce, the War, Navy, Post Office, and
Treasury Departments have also been consul~d for technical advice and information as to
how their respective needs could best be served. Hence many of the projects selected have
been for the improvement of Aney, Navy, and National Guard flying fields J the deTelopment
of State , municipal, and commeroial airports which might be of value in emergenciesJ and the
iaprovem.ent ot air mail tacilities, a.a 'ftll as oommercial airline transportation and priTate flying. Organizations such as the National Association of State Aviation Officials

Data for Idaho as of !.:arch 16.•
and the National Aeronautical Association are also cooperating in the development of this
program.
Aa shown in the table above, airport and ainray projects selected for operation
through April 15, 1936, totaled nearly ~23,000,000, or almost 2 percent of all WPA projects selected as of that date. Sponsors' funds, amounting to more than $3,000,000 made
up nearly 15 percent of the total estimated oost as compared with 18 per cent on all
types of WPA projects. Approxi..mtc.tely two-thirds of the WPA dollar is to go for labor on
airport and airway projeots, whereas only about one-eighth of the sponsors' dollar will
be spent for the same purpose. As usual on all WPA projects, the sponsors will bear a
much larger share of the cost of materials, supplies, and equipment than of the labor costs.
It is estimated that labor will reoeive about 55 peroent of the total funds available
for these projects. Material costs on airport and airway projeots are higher than on
most types of projects beoause of the need for oonorete and other surfaoing materials
used in paving runways, structural :materials used in buildings, and electrical equipment
necessary for beacons and radio facilities. However, the many types of work provided by
these projects make possible the employment of labor of varying skills.
In considering the cost of airport projects in relation to looation and number,
it must be kept in mind that one State may be working on a large number of projeots, eaoh
involving small expendituros, while another State may have only a few projects representing
major improvements. Also, a landing field may be constructed at relatively small cost in
one State, while in another State, mountainous or otherwise difficult terrain may considerably inorease the expenditure on a field of the same si%e. Thus, 52 airport projects in
Florida and 21 in Pennsylvania will together cost less than 17 projeots i n New York
(including New York City), while
California's 43 projects will
cost only about 10 percent more
than the 16 in Ohio.
GRADING THE RUNWAY
Projects in these five
Sta~es and in Tennessee account for
almost one-half the total to be
spent on air port projects. The
remainder is divided among the
District of Columbia and all other
States exoept Delaware. The
relative importance of airport
projeots a.s compared with all
types of WPA projeots in the
different States varies from
about 8 percent in Florida and
7 percent in Maine to 0.1 percent
in Rhode Island and none in
Delaware. In some States, par-
ticularly Alabama , the airport program has been oombined with oonstruction of recreational
taoilities and the resultant "airparks" provide a double inoentive for the proper maintenance of the locati on . Further details concerning the value of air~ort projects and
their relative importance in each State may be found in the table on page 52.
In 9 of the 12 cities whioh supply the major portion of pe.ssenger traffio of
all kinds, large WPA airport projeots are under oonstruction. In the New York area
Floyd Bennett Field is being improved, and at Newark Airport rWIWays are being extended
and surfaoes and preparations are being made for hangar construotion and the relocation
of some of the present buildings. Extensive improvements are also being made to airports
at Philadelphi a, Boston, Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, St. Paul, and San
Francisoo.
A small municipal airport project at Red Ba.nlc, New Jersey, is extremely well
situated with respeot to use for a number of purposes. Lying near Fort Momnouth, Fort
Hancock, and the u. S. Government reservations at Sandy Hook, it has great potential
military value. Sinoe it is on the direct route between Langley Field, Virginia, and
Mitohell Field, Long Island, it is an integral unit in the coastal faoilities of both
civil and military aeronautical units. In addition, it is looated in an area of prosperous landowners and business people who are able to own modern airoraft and indulge
in private flying. Sponsored by the Borough Council of Red Ba.nlc and employing more than
200 persons, this projeot will effeot the grading, graveling and tarring of runways, the
construction of a oirole, and the painting of a hangar, at a oost of about $140,000.
The locatidn and size of the airports being oonstructed and improved under the
program of the Works Progress Administration may be seen from the map on page SO.
Projeots at sites not on the regular airways are being oonstruoted either beoause they
are on proposed airlines (for example, an airline is planned from Jackson, Mississippi,
to Nashville, Tennessee} or beoause, as in Flori da, the nature of the land is suoh as to
make neoessary a large nwn1.er of emergency landing fields.
Employment on airport and airway projects rose from 1,261 persons on September
30 to a peak of 45,067 on Maroh 31. Subsequent declines brought the number at work on
May 31 to 42 ,878 persons. Of these, 40,550 had been taken from relief rolls, while 2,328
or about 6 peroent had been secured from non-relief souroes. This is the highest
percentage of non-relief persons employed under the airport program during any month of
its operation. In the last three

WORKS PROGRAM ACTIVI TIES OF THE HOUSI NG DI VISION OF Tilli f'WA
The pro grfllll of the Housi.ng Division of the Public Works Administration,
initiated under the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933, gained full momentum under
the Works Program authorized by the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935. Funds
me.de available to the Division under this Act totaled $101,373,050, from which an
initial allocation was made available on July 9, 1935. Prior to this date, however,
much preliminary work had been e.cc.ompli shed in the initiation end development of
projects all over the country; sites had been chosen, architects tentatively selected,
a.nd a vast a.mount of related data accumulated and studied . When funds were actually
made available, options on property were taken or renewed, preliminary architectural
plans were conswmnated, titles cleared, and sites purchased. By Oct ober 1935 the final
program of 40 projects in 32 cities of the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin
Islands was well under way. When completed, these projects will provide up-to-date
housing facilities for approximately 18,000 families.
The activity of the PVfA Housing Di vision was undertaken with three principal
objectives in mind. Primarily the aim was to give employment to the ha~d-hit building
trades workers and professional technicians and to stimulate the capital goods
indu s tries. The second purpose was slum clearance and the provision of decent, sanitary,
anc. a.doc,t r1.te dwe11.inrs for people unahJ P. t o r,o.;r the rents asked for sir.tilar pri va.telv
constructed aooorranodations. The third intention was to illustrate by a series of
demonstration projects the advantages of large-sea.le OOTiUlltmity planning.
1
With these objectives in mi nd the Housing Division sent re presentatives into
the field to study conditions in those cities from which applications for projects had
been received. Experts were sulT!moned to Washington to work out plans for apartment
buildings and group houses. Many proposals were carefully studied. A unit plan
book, containing typical layouts of various types, was finally developed for reference
by local architects who, on the whole, were unfamiliar with large-scale low-cost
residential planning.
The wide variation in the character of American cities precluded any uniform
type of housing . In large metropolitan areas it was generally found that apartments
were more desirable than individual group houses, not only because of high land values
but because of local precedent. In smaller cities, however, pa~ticularly in the South,
local custom we.a found to run more to individual house tenancy. Here the group house
unit was conddered preferable. In some ci t-ies a combination of apartments and /!:roup

house :; Vla. S considered the most workable urre.ngement. In all cases the site plan was prepared t o give a. maximum area, common to all tenants and safe from vehicular traffic, to
be used for pl ay and recreation. Social rooms were included in all projects, and
oor.trn1.1nity buildings, garages, a.nd stores where advisable.
The largest of the Housing Division projects is the Ten Eyck Houses, a slum
~lee.re.nee pro ject in the Williamsburg seotion of New York City. Twelve crowded city
blocks on t hi s site have been demolished by WPA and are being replaced by four superblooks
three of six buildings each a.nd one of two buildings• set out in a park-like development, surrounded by la.wns and open courts, in such a manner as to restrict the building
space to 30 pe rcent of the total a.rea. The 1,616 apartments will comprise 5,658 rooms,
divided as follows: 48 two-room, 769 three-room, 733 four-room, and 65 five-room units.
The buildi ngs will Le four stories in height. A new school and seven playgrounds will be
constructed i n the area.. Eight social rooms will be made available to tenants a.nd there
will be nursery schools for three age groups.
Seventeen of the Housing Division's projects a.re being erected either in ffllole
or in part f or the use of Negro families. Harlem Houses in New York City is one of
these, a.nd demonstrates that deficiencies in community life can be a.meliorated to a
considerable de gree by modern housing. Harlem Houses will provide for its 574 families
a nursery school with opportw:tities for supervised outdoor and indoor play, a complete
clinic, soci al rooms, and a protected playground.
The 40 projects of the Hous'ing Division program a.re at present in various
stages of construction, as shown in the table on the following page. Seventeen of them
a.re slum clearance projectsJ the remainder a.re being built on vacant land. Demolition on
three of the slum clearance projects has been accomplished by the Works Progress
Administration; on another it has been carried out by the previous owner of the property.
Six of the pro j e cts a.re already in the superstructure stage. Four are being prosecuted
under general contra.ct, rather than under separate contra.eta for demolition, foundation,
and supers t r ucture. Some of these a.re more than one-quarter completed. In the Virgin
Islands t he work is being done entirely under force account with relief labor.

paid out to date $47,801 for demolition work, $3,696,860 for oonstruction of foundations,
and $11,666,021 for general oonstruotion contraots, representing a total of 1,878,030
man-hours of employment.
Total employment on the Rousing Division projects finanoed by ERA funds has
ranged from 70 men in the week ending 0otober 26, 1936, to 6,887 in the week ending June
13, 1936. It averaged over 3,000 in April, nearly 5,000 in May, and almost 7,000 in
June. In the preparation and exeoution of drawings 291 arohitects, 1,338 draftsmen,
61 landscape architects, and 140 engineers have been employed. In addition, many lawyers,
realtors, negotiators, and appraisers have been employed locally in problems of land
aoquisition. None of the•e data inolude the 10 projects of the Housing Division
finanoed by National Industrial Recovery Aot funds.
WORKS PROGRAM ACTIVITIES OF THE FOREST SERVICE
In their broader aspeots, the responsibilities of the Forest Service of the
Department of Agricu]ture cover the conservation, protection, and wise use, in the
public interest, of the oountry's forest resources. The aotivities of the Service in
discharging these responsibilities proceed along three major lines: (1) proteotion
and administration of the national forestsJ (2) researoh at regional forest experiment stations, the Forest Produots Laboratory, and elsewhere, in regard to problems
of forest and range management, the utilization of wood, and the supply of and demand
for forest products of all kinds; and (3) oooperation with the States in the advancement of f crest protection and forestry practice on State and privately owned land.
There are at present 147 national forests, located in 30 States and 2
Territories, with an aggre gate net area of more than 165,000,000 acres, or slightly
larger than the entire State of Texas. Of this total area about 96 percent is
located in the 11 far western States and Alaska and is made up of public-domain lands,
chiefly available for watershed protection and the production of forestry products.
These forests contain 20 percent of the forested area of the oountry end a total
estimated stand of 552 billion feet of merchantable timber, enough to span the
di3tanoe from the earth to the moon more than 40 times. In addition to timber production and conservation, the national forests furnish seasonal grazing for some 13
million head of live stock, and protect watersheds representing at least a third of
the country's water power resources and domestic water supplies upon which more than
800 towns and cities are direotly dependent. It is the business of the Forest Service
to preserve these vast economic resources.
COMBATING FOREST FIRES.
VIDED BY LOOKOUT TOWERS.
VIGII.ENCE IS PRO-
THE ONE SHOWN OH
THE RIGHT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
Fllllds made available under the Emergency Relief Appropriation Aot of 1935 have
enabled the Forest Service to carry on its regular work on a much larger scale than would
otherwise have been possible. Net allocations of Works Program funds through June 50,
1936• total $26.272,125 of which $14.574.625 is for work projects ($500.000 of this
latter sum being transferred to the land acquisition program). $11,125,000 for land
acquisition. and $572,500 for administrative expenses. In addition, administrative funds
amounting to $579.125 were provided from allocations made for this purpose to the
Department of Agriculture• and $500,000 allocated to Emergency Conservation Work for
land purchase is being spent under the land acquisition program of the Forest Service.
Work Project~
One of the first requisites in forest maintenance and improvement is the protection of Federally owned forest resourc es. For this purpose there must be lookout towers
from which fires may quickl;y, be discovered; telephone lines over vrhich reports may be
transrrJ. tted; end roads and trails over which fire fighters may be readily transported.
In the establishment of these physical facilities the Forest Service has been aided by
Presidential approval of 49 projects, located in 46 States, the District of Columbia, and
2 Territories. Included in the work on these projects are resE1a.rch in forestry and continuation of the Forest
Sh~l~erbelt project,
THINNINGS PROVIDE FENCING 1'ATERIAL.
Of the total of
$14,574,625 allocated to
the Service for its work
frojectz, $11,328,945 was
set aside for improverr~nts
in the national forests.
The Service planned and
executed its program :o
that approved projects
would include fire prevention and control; improvement of existing timber
stands by thinning and other
cultural treatment; development of tree nurser ies and
rees tablishment of forP.st
cover by the planting of
deforested areas; diminution of forest destruction
by control of tree insects
and diseases; construction
of forest roads and trails,
and miscellaneous structural
improvements; reduc tion or
control of soil erosion as
a means of flood control;
and crention of more favorable conditions for wild life.
Nearly i1 ,ooo,ooo was allotted for the expansion of the Service's researcn program, at regional experimental stations and in Washington, to take care of increasing
demands for assistance from such agencies as the Tennessee Valley Authority, National Resources Board, Emergency Conservation Work, Federal Housing Administration, antl the Science
Advisory Board of the National Research Council.
The funds made available for research purroses under this $931.,597 allotment were
se gregated in the follo,ring a.mounts and activitiess $418,905 for for est management,
$110,117 for range investigation, $160,]50 for forest products, $46,685 for forest survey,
41
$29,935 for forest eoonomics,and $166 ,805 for erosion and stream flow. The Service estimated that approximately i288,900 of the total allotment wou ld be spent for materials,
supplies, and equipment, and the remaining $642,697 for about 940 man-years of labor.
The unprecedented drought of 1934 oaused national attention to be focused on
the plains west of the Missis sippi River where agricultural conditions were most serious.
On July 11, 1934, the President issued an Executive order authorizing large-scale
shelterbelt planting to oonserve soil and soil moisture and to protect homesteads and
crops from the drying effects of hot summer winds and cold winters. This work waR
started in 1934 and in order that the Service mi ght continue operations on this Shelterbelt project during the fiscal year 1936, the President approved $1,814,083 from funds
provided under the ERA Aot of 1935.
The present boundaries of the shelterbelt zone encompass a strip about 100
miles wide, extending north from Texas through Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota,
and North Dakota to the Canadian boundary. Within this 100-mile belt, shelterbelt
strips 10 rods wide and one mile apart were established on a large number of farms.
These were so located as to intercept the prevailing winds. In addition to providing
funds for the belt planting, the Service had sufficient funds to extend cooperation to
farmers in the establishment of protective wind breakers around farm buildings. There
are two types of planting in this shelterbe~t area: one, the strip planting previously
mentioned,and the other, planting around individual farm buildings and around the farmstead
itself. The Service estimates that the extent of strip planting and farmstead pla.ntin~
in these six States totals about 19.000 and 1,-500 acres, respectively. All 011rsery stock
was obtained from existing nurseries from which the Forest Service leased facilities and
land. It is estimated that an avera 6e of 1,250 trees are planted to the acre in strip
planting and 850 trees per acre in farmstead planting. The cost is abo ut f·7 per thousand trees, with an additional cost of 30 cents per thousand trees for transportation.
Of the Jl,814,083 allocated to this project, 1709,119 has been expended for labor from
relief rolls, $400,899 for non-relief labor, and $635,993 for material and other costs.
This represents a man-year oost of $997. The relatively large amount spent for nonrelief labor was due to tho lack of an adequate supply of labor on relief rolls in the
counties of the shelterbelt zone.
Operations on about 96 percent of the jobs contemplated under the allocation for
work projects have been completed. A detailed statement of the types of work finished
through May 30, 1936, is presented in the t able on page .42. AB of June 30, the Forest
Service had incurred obligations totaling $13,422,276 in the operation of its work projects. Actual expenditures amounted to $12,9~8,634 of which $3,090, 837 was disbursed for
materials, supplies, equipment, travel, and misoello.neous expensesi $6,874,324 for wages
of persons from the relief rolls; and i 2,973,473 for persons from other than relief
services.
acquisition of Land
Purchase of lands valuable for the proteotion of head waters of navigable streams
or for timber production, and their establishment as national forests were authorized
by Congres~ in 1911. For the most part, purchases of land, which are consummated by the
National Forest Reservation Commission, have been made in areas east of the Great Plains,
where the heavy concentration of population, widespread forest devastation, and considerations of watershed protection for critical areas made the needs for public forestry particularly acute •
Allocations of Works Program f'unds to carry on this work total $12,125,000 of
wnich $500,000 was transferred from the allocation for work projects, mentioned in a preceding paragraph, and $600,000 was made available specifically to permit the Forest Service
to carry on uninterruptedly the examination and appraibal of lands for its current land
acquisi-tion program. An allocation of $400,000 to the Le gal Division of the Department
of Agrioulture permits the continuation of its aotivities pertinent to the aoquisition of

Notice was sent to State Administrators in Handbook or Prooedurea Letter No. 5,
dated July 9, that projeots for the construction, establishment. or improvement of air
navigation taoilitiea on property leased by the Bureau of Air Commeroe. Department ot
Commerce, are eligible as Federal projeots provided that they meet the normal requirements
of WPA projects. Suoh projeots may be sponsored either by the BUJ'e~u of Air Commerce or
by the proper State or local agency.
Planning Program ot Construction Projects tor Fiscal Year
1937
State Administrators were advised in General Letter No. 48. issued July 11,
that in order to effect adequate planning of operations on WPA construction projects during the tiscal year of 1937, they should include in their programs an adequate number or
projects which are susceptible to termination on short notice in order to provide a
sufficient degree of flexibility to meet possible curtailment of funds.
Action may be initiated on any- properly approved project suited to the State
program which may be completed prior to December 51. 1936. A lesser number ot construe>•
tion projects may be started, the completion ot which will tall between January 1 and
March 1, 1937. June 30, 1937, is the absolu,te limit for the completion ot all WPA proj•
ects. Arr:, project, however, which oannot be completed by March 1, 1937 • as stated above•
must not be started unless the sponsor is willing to agree in writing that in the oven~
the WPA has not sufficient tunds for completion subsequent to that date, he will oarry
on the project at least to the extent that it will not be left in an unsightly or discreditable condition.
Statistioal, Survey, and Research Projects Sponsored by Federal Agencies
rn order to effoot better ooordination in the State program of statistical
projects, State Coordinators attached to the staffs of the Works Progress Administration
in the various States were advised in Handbook of Procedures Letter No. 6, issued July
14, to make a regular inspection of statistical survey, and research projects sponsored
by Federal agencies, suoh inspections to be limited to the adm1ni$trative phases of the
projects inasmuch as Federal agencies are directly responsible for the teohnioal operation
of projects sponsored by them. llhere such inspeotion discloses need for administrative
action, the report thereon will be prepared and submitted to the Coordinating Committee
of the Works Progress Administration, Washington, D. c., which will reter the matter to
~e proper agenoy.

reduced the land purchase allocation to $422,641.
Other ohanges during the month
In spite of long periods of inclement weather during which work was impossible.
water has been impounded on the game oonservation project for as little as 11 cents per
acre foot. '!'he average oost has been far below the prevailing average of 64 oents per
aore foot.
Though employment inoreased by nearly 100 persons during the first week of June,
gradual redu ions during the tollOW1ng three weeks brought the number at work on June 27
to 612• or 31 less than the number employed at the end of May.
Entomology and Plant Quarantine
The Florida project of the Bureau of Entamology and Plant Quarantine, for locating
and destroying wild cotton which serves as host for the pink bollworm, was suspended on
June 27 beoause of the beginning of the rain and hurricane season in the southern part of
the State. 'l'he work started on November 23, 1935 1 with a $91,200 allocation which was subsequently reduced to $65,000. Expenditures for 153 1 4:85 man-hours of labor have amounted
to $40,994 1 while other costs have totaled 118,812, resulting in a man-year cost of $585.
The isolated territory in whioh muoh of the wild cotton is located made it necessary to
set up work camps and also to out numerous trails through heavy underbrush or tropioal
jungles. Throughout the entire known area of 204,289 aores covered in scouting for wild
oottoo, nearly 3,000,000 plants nre destroyed on 4:1,405 acres. Reohecks were made on
36,684 acres.
A supplementary allocation of $1,000,900 was ma.de to the Bureau on June 24 for
its 10 projeots involving the control or eradioation of diseases and insects harmful to
vegetation.
Forest Servioe
A detailed disoussion of the aotivities of the Forest Service may be found in
a preoeding seotion of this report.
Public Roads
The Bureau of Public Roads had submitted applications amounting to approximately
'186,000,000 for Works Program highways and slightly- Jl'IOI'e than il89,000,000 for gradecrossing eliminations by June 30. Of these the President had approved nearly 8182,000,000
of the former and almost $184,000,000 of the latter. Highway plans to the extent of
1165,000,000 and grade-crossing plans valued at more than $138,000,000 had been approved
by the Bureau of Public Roads. The total value of' highway oontracts awarded was just
under $134,000,000. Grade-orossiog elimination oontraets awarded approximated
$92,000.,000.
A total ot 3,621 projects financed tram ERA funds were reported active as of
June 13. Of these, 2,272 were on Works Program highways, 932 -were grade-crossing elimination projects, and •17 were on 1936 i'ublic Works highways.
ot the $195,000,000 apportioned f'or 'Works Program highways, almost $7,000,000
had been expended by l4ay 31 for the oompletion of over 938 miles of' highway, 7,303 miles
to oost more than $107,000,000 were under construction, and plans for more than 3,000
ailes of highway to be oonstructed at an expense of' slightly more than $36,000 1 000 had been
approved but not yet started. For the elimination of 24 grade crossings approximately
$921,000 had been disbursed from the $196,000 1 000 apportioned for this purpose. At a cost
of about $73,000,000 a total of 827 crossings were being eliminated 8.D.d 488 crossingelimination projeots involving an expenditure of almost 141,000,000 had been approved but

Tht Weather Bureau , which received an additional allocation of $1,670 on
June 2S for its long-range weather forecasting project, had obligated by June SO about
86 peroent of the $14,224 allocated for this project. Hegotiationa are DOW under way
to transfer the Bureau's 15,000 allocation for repair of tlood•damaged river gauges to
the Geological Survey.
ALLEY rmELLING AUTHORITY
The Alley Dwelling Authority has tentatively divided its $190,194 allocation
equally between materia,. and labor costs. Of the money being used for labor, it is
estiJnated that about 60 percent will go to skilled and nearly 25 percent to unskilled
workers, while the remainder will provide 'Wages for teohnioal and supervisory employees.

have been completed and work ha.a been started on the superstructure. Under a second di•
vision of the project two alley buildings have been repaired, eight dwellings have been
demolished, and two otbera will be razed ahortly. Plans have been approved and engineering
calculations completed for the conatruction of a la..rent apartment house on another site
in the District.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
Census
The Bureau of the Census has practically completed the nrk of collecting
3,600,000 schedules for the Census or Business Enterprise. On the Alphabetical Index
project the information contained in the enumeration schedules for the Census of 1900
has been transferred to cards. These cards must now be sorted and arranged in
alphabetical order. The combined employment reported for both projects during the
week ending June 27 tote.led 8,045 persons, ot whom 5,922 had been taken i'ran relief
rolls. About two-thirds of the total xmmber were at work on the Census of Business
Enterprise. The entire program of the Bureau is now 'Well over half finished.

under the Civilian Conservation Corps
increased during May, the number ot
persons leaving the Corps totaled
u. 700. Jlearly half of these le.rt
to aooept employment elsewhere, u

The most important aspent of the land utilization program, measured by either
acreage, cost, or number of projects, is the agricultural demonstration work being
building or fire towers,
carried on in 41 States. This inoludea the planting of
erosion control, road building, and restoration of range grasses, The 46 recreational
projects will result in the development of parks readily aooessible to large urban centers
of population. The Indian-land projeots, intended to make more 18l)d available to the
Indiana, will be turned over to the Department of the Interior for development. The 32
migratory waterfowl projects will be developed when Resettlement turns over the aoquired
land to the Department of Agriculture.
