FOREWORD

Provision of jobs on sooially desirable and
useful projeots for persons destitute as a result of
prolonged unemployment is the purpose for which the
Works Program was initiated under the ERA Act of
1936 and for which it has been continued under subsequent Emergenoy Relief Appropriation aots. The
extent of employment provided by the various government agenoies cooperating in the activities directed
tOlt'&.rds this end, the funds used, and other information oonoerning the operation of the Program are
presented in sane detail in this report.
Like the previous, more canprehensive, issue,
dated March 1937, this report was prepared by the
Works Progress Administration in accordance with the
provisions of Exeoutive Order No. 7034. This order
oreating the Works Progress Administration included
among its duties that of obtaining periodic reports
of employment on projects and of the progress in
projeot operations as well as responsibility for the
honest, efficient, speedy, and coordinated operation
of the Program as a whole.
The data shown ln this report on allooations,
obligations, and expenditures from funds made available for the Works Program have been taken from reports of the Can.missioner of Accounts and Deposits
of the Treasury Department.

The ERA Act of 1937

Provision for the continuation of the
WPA program in the fiscal year 1937-38 is
contained in the ERA Act of 1937, which
was signed by the President on June 29,
1937. This act appropriates $1,500,000,000 for the specific purpose of continuing
to provide relief, and work relief on useful public projects, under the direction
of the President. Together with such unexpended balances as the President may determine of previous appropriations made
for this purpose, these funds are to remain available until June 30, 1938, and
are to be so administered during the fiscal year as to constitute the total amount
that will be furnished for relief purposes
during the. t time.
Proicct Limitations

Like the ERA Act of 1936, the recently approved act makes funds available
tor general classes of projects and sets
the maximum amount that may be used for
projects in eaoh of th& classes. The 1937
Act establishes 4 classes or projects, a
substantial reduction from the 10 classes
prescribed by the 1936 Act. This change
was made in order to simplify certain administrative and
accow:rl;ing practices.
The classes of projects and the limitations mposed on each under the 1937 Act
are as ·follows s
(a)

Higmrays, roads, and streets,

$415,-

000,000

(b)

Public buildings, parks and
other
recreational facilities,
inoluding
buildings therein, public utilities,
electric transmission and distribution lines or systems to serve persons in rural areas, including projects sponsored by ~ for the benefit
of nonprofit and cooperative associations, sewer systems, water supply
and purification, airports and other
transportation facilities, flood control, conservation, eradication of
inseot pests, and miscellaneous work
projects, f630,000,000

(c)

(d)

Assistance for educational, professional, and self-help and clerical
persons and women's projects, $380,000,000
National

Youth Administr~tion, $75,-

000,000.

These limitations may be modified by increasing each proportionately in accordance with the amount of unexpended balances transferred fran the earlier relief
appropriation acts, or by making adjust~
ments between classes.
In making the
latter the increase through transfer from
other classes may not exceed 15 percent of
the class limitation.
The act also provides that the appropriation is to be available for expenditure by the Resettlement Aruninistration
for such loans, relief, and rural rehabilitation for needy persons as the President
may determine. Funds for this purpose and
for WPA projects previously approved do not
fall within the classes mentioned above.
Provisions have been made for the
canpletion of both Federal and non-Federal
projects. No Federal construction project
may be undertaken unless Federal funds
sufficient for its canpletion have been
irrevocably set aside (except flood control and water conservation projects authorized by other acts). A non-Federal
project may be undertaken only if the
sponsor has made a written agreement to
finance such part of the entire cost as is
not to be supplied fran Federal funds.
The act restricts administrative expenditure of aey agency (with the exception of
nine agencies specifically designated) to
not more than 5 percent of its total allocations.
W e9e encl Employment Prcwisiom
Many of the earlier provisione governing employment under the Works Program
are oontinued under the 1937 ERA Aot. The

rates of pay for persons engaged on work
projects shall not be less than the rates
paid for work of a similar nature in the
same locality. Persons in aotual need who
have not previouEly been on relief rolls
continue to be given the same eligibility
for employment as persons previously on
the rolls, and the faot that a person has
received either adjusted-service bonds or
payment of an adj~F.1ted-ccmpensation certificate is not considered in determining
actual need of employment.
In the 1937 Aot it is specifically
provided that no relief person employed on
a work project who refuses an offer of
private employment at the same or higher
wages under reasonable working conditions
and on a job whloh he is capable of doing,
may be retained on a V'forks Program job.
It is further provided that a worker immediately resumes his previous employment
status under the Works Program if after
accepting private em~loyment he loses his
job through no fault of his own and is
still in need of relief. As between projects of the TTPA and all other agencies
participating in the Program, the act
specifies tha.t relief workers may not be
employed by the WPA if they refuse similar
employment on projects of other agencies
at wages canparable with,or higher than,
~rpA wages. Upon termination of work under
other agencies, a worker resl.lllles his eligibility for employment elsewhere on the
Program..
The ERA Act of 1937

takes cognizance

of the citizenship of workers. Preference
in WPA employment shall be given first

to Ame~ioan citizens in need of relief,
and next, to aliens who had declared their
intention to becane oitizens prior to the
passage of the aot. Veterans of the World
War and Spanish War who are in need of relief shall be given preference for employment under the WPA. The earlier prov i sions that agencies shall not knowingly
employ aliens illegally within the United
States on any projects financed under the
ERA Aot of 1936 are extended in the 1937
Aot to apply to a.liens who have not filed
declaration of intention to beoane citizens.
Other Provisions

The general provisions in regard to
disability or death comnensation and bene-

2

fits, as contained in the Aot of February
15, 1934, remain substantially unohanged.
However, the mrud.ml.llll monthly ocanpensation
rate is raised to $30, exolusive of medical oosts, and authorization is given for
the establishment of a special fund for
the payment of such benefits in an amount
to be determined by the United States Employees• Compensation Canmission.
The act also authorizes the AdministratO!' of the WPA to wind up the affairs
of the Federal Emergenoy Relief Mm1n1stration and makes the Administration's
funds available for expenditure until June
30, 1938.
other section~ of the 1937 ERA Aot
conoern appointments and separations of
administrative personnel; establishment of
revolving funds for procurement of materials, supplies, and equipnent; projeots
for constructing or repairing penal institutions; and penalities for false and
fraudulent statements.

Need of I.lief

Persons etnployed under the Works Program are drawn predominantly from the unemployed who have been certified as in
need of relief.
Such certification ot
eligibility for employment is made by
local relief agencies, designated to act
in this capacity; the WPA, however, makes
assignments to project jobs and passes on
the employability of persons who have been
certified as in need of reliet. At the
beginning of the program it was stipulated
that at least 90 percent ot project personnel should be persons who had been certified as in need of relief. Exemption
f'ran the 90 percent provision was allowed
only if unusual circumstances justified a
larger nonreliet percentage. During the
period of full Works Program operation,
beginning late in 1935, the WPA has consistently drawn about 95 percent ot its
workers fran persons certif'ied as in need.

Progress Administration and l!mergency Conservation 1'/ork has been in evidence during
the past 3 months. Between the weeks ending February 27 and May 29, approximately
'51,000 workers were added to the progrmns
ot these agencies. The expansion occurred
chietly on projects prosecuted by the NonFederal Divisioo of the Public Works Administration and by the Bureau of Public
Roads. This increase was offset, however,
by a decline in Emergency Conservation
Work employment trom 392,000 persons to
349,000 during the same period. Consequently the extent of the decline in Works
Program employment
during the last 3
months has been deter.n.ined largely by the
reduction in the number of WPA workers.

Exec utive order at the inception of the
Program, provided for a variation in wage
rate s according to the degree of urbanization of the community in which the workers
are employed, the wage rate region, and
the degree of skill required for the job.
Certain groups of workers, mainly CCC enrollees and persons employed on projects

exemptions amounting to not more t han 10

during a month is, therefore, the number
which at the prevailing hourly rate of pay
will give the worker an opportunity
to
earn the monthly wage scheduled for the
wage class to which he is assigned.
On the average~ WPA Employees were
assigned 114 hours of work during
the
month of A,Pril 1937. This average ranged

hours on educational projects to 123 on

urban areas of Wage Rate Region I to $21
in the less populous sections of Region
III.
Workers assigned in the
skilled
class represented about 13 percent, and
those in the intermediate (semiskilled)
class, 12 percent of the total. About 5
percent .rare in the professional and technical class to whioh the highest rates,
from $!K to $42, apply. The security
rates quoted here are exclusive of 10 percent adjustments made in oome instances.
The proportion of WPA workers assigned at security wages and in each security wage class varied considere.biy from
one type of project to another but on no
type of project did security workers constitute less than 93 percent, and on only
one type - professional and clerical projects - were less than 95 percent assigned
at security re.tea. More than 97 percent
of the workers on goods projects were receiving security wages. Much greater differences existed in the proportions that
unskilled, semiskilled, skilled, and professional workers on the various types of
projects constituted of total employment,
as indicated in Table 4.
The stipulation made in the Emergency
Relief Appropriation Act of 1935 that
hourly rates paid to project
workers
should be such as would ~ccomplish the
purpose of the act without adversely attecting the prevailing rates for similar
work was changed ill the 1936 Act to provide that project workers should be paid
rates no less than those which prevail locally for similar work.

Average hourly earnings for all WPA
workers during April amounted to nearly 51
cents. AJJ indicated in Table 5 , hourly
earnings have been maintained at approximately this level since August 1936. However, there is variation among the average
rates paid on different types of projects.
Persons employed on white collar projects
averaged 67 cents an hour during April,

Eight:r-five peroent of the
Federal expenditures on WPA projects have been for labor. Checks
issued to warkers on WPA projects,
including both the State a.."ld local and the Nation-wide projects,
amounted to $2,551,000,000 by the
end of March 1937. or the nonlabor expenses incurred in project
operations, expenditures for materials, supplies, and equipment
accounted for somewhat more thnn
half, or $211,000,000.
Rentals
of equipment and buildings totaled $141,000,000 and all other
expenditures,
$22,000,000,

IJ.nd in New York about a firth of the projects in terms of cost were for improvements to, or development of, parks and
other recreational facilities. Emphasis
placed on sewer and other utility project~
in New Hampshire, Maryland, and Rhode Island and on public buildin~s projects in
Arizona and New Mexico brought the proposed expenditures for these types to at
least a fifth ot the respeotive totals for
the WPA programs of these States. In
Idaho the conservation projects amounted
to a quarter of the State I s estimated total project cost, and in both Kansas and
North Dakota projeots of this type aooounted for nearly a firth of the total.
In California, New York, and Virginia more

Based on reports of purchase orders (federal) and certifio~tions of sponsors' expeneitures, these fi&ures include Federal funds amounting to $237,147,604 e.nd
1pon•ors 1 funds am,unting to $152,901,208.

:TPA expenditures on projects as of the end
of :~arch 1937. The miscellaneous item in
Table 7 inoludes all oth13r expenditures,
chief of whioh are thoce for travel and
for transportation, and those made in connection with oontraots. 1:ono of these individual items exceeds 0.3 percent of the
total expenditures.
Haterials, Supplies, .,nd Equip':lent

Ifaterials, supplies, and equip!nent
for ~'fPA projects are supplied through
use of both Federal and sponsors' f'unds,
which runount to about 60 and 40 percent,
respectively, of the total. As detel'."!:lined
from purchase orders, which anticipate
sre.swhat the actual expenditures as given
in Tree.~ury reports, and csrtifications of
sponsors' contributions, the tota.1 value
of matoriuls, supplies, and equip~ent procured for :·IPA projects through !.Iarch 31,
1937, ru~ounted to i390,000,000. The largest single item in this total was the
$43,000,000 for lumber and its prod11cts
(excluding furniture). As shewn in Table
8 ,
other important materials and their
values were cement, $34,558,048; bituminous oavin~ materials and mixtures, $32,296,934; textiles, $29,729,706; sand and

the chief outlays were ~l,909,218 for bituminous paving materials and mixtures a.nd
over a million doll~Ts each for lumber and
its products (excludinf~ furnitu:re), crushed

the end of March 1937 the total value of
rentals of spaoe and equipment amounted to
$258,256,682. Rentals of truoks and vans
aooounted for more than half this amount
and rentalsof paving, road-building, and
other construotion equipment for another
quarter of the total. A substantial amount
was also represented by team and wagon
hire. The balanoe of the total was used
for spaoe rentals and servioes; rental of
offioe and other equipment J busses, autanobiles and other transportation expenses;
and suoh servioes as utilities. Rentals
of truoks and vans were the outstanding
items on all but three types of projeote airport and other transportation projeots
~n whioh construction equipment rentals

goods (including sewing, oa.nning, and other) projeote which required larger outlays
for office and other equipment, space
rentals, and utilities. The value of various types of rentals and services for
WPA prc,jeots through March :n is shown by
sources of funds in Table 9J the aggregate values of rentals and services supplied for major types of projeots are
given by source of funds in Table 10.

Federal and Sponsors' Shares of Materials
and Rentals
In connection with both the proourament of materials, supplies, and equipment

WPA PROJEOT IN KANSAS CITY
and the rental of buildings

and equipment
Federal funds met about 60 percent and
sponsors' funds about 40 peroent of the
total outlay. On various major types of
projeots sponsors' funds used for materials, suppUes, and equipment constituted
from 13 peroent (goods projeots) to 91
peroent (se.nitation and health projects)
of the aggregate amounts supplied. In addition to the last named, four other types
of projeots reported sponsors' funds in
greater proportions than their average for
all projects - public buildings projects
(48 percent), sewer system and other utility projects (43 percent), highway, road,
and street, and white collar projects (42
percent each).

appropriate equipment has not been available, a limited amount has been purchased.
Recently the policy has been modified so
that restricted purohases may be made if
this definitely appears to be more economical and efficient than renting equipment. In general, however, the sources
f'ran which State Administrators obtain the
equipment required for WPA project operation are, in order or priority, f'r<ri sponsors, by rental, and by purchase.
Completed Proiecb
Of the 136,000 v1PA p:r'ojects that had
been placed in operation by March 31, 1937,

about !;>l,000 were reported as completed by
that date. According to reports received,
the total oost of these 50,~39 completed
work projects was nearly $548,000,000. In
addition, much progress had already been
made on other projects which were still in
active operation or for which reports had
not yet been received.
These projects,
however, are not included in the statement
of completed work.
In general the group for which r~ports have been received represents the
smaller projects operated under the V'TPA
program. Many of the larger construction
jobs are still under way, as are the projects of the various service types that can
be carried on indefinitely. This accounts
for the fact that the average cost of WPA

nearly 75 percent (~403,635,333) of
the total expenditures (Federal and spon~ors' funds) for completed projects were
for wages going chiefly to persons from
relief rol]s. This represented payment
for almost one billion man-hours of worl'.:
Rt an avera~e of about 42 cents per hour.
Honle.bor costs of project operations averaged about 15 cents per man-hour of work.
More than a third of the total cost
of completed projects covered highway,
road, and street projects, the predaninant
type of activity under the "._7PA program.
Completed public buildinEs accounted for
almost 15 percent of the total cost, and

smaller proportion. Between 8 a~d 9 percent of the expenditures for finished work

provements; the remainder was pledged for
nonconstruction projects. Pledges on all
construction projects averaged 15 percent
of the total estimated cost of these projeots (17 percent for new construction e.nd
13 percent for repairs and improvements)
but were highest for the new public build•
ings group on which nearly a fourth of the
costs were to be met by sponsors. The
proportion of total cost borne by sponsors
is sho.vn for each type of project in Table
XIII of the appendi;:, and the distribution
of sponsors' funds among major types of
projects is indicated in T~ble 6 above.

The sponsor draws up oomplete plans
for the projeot whioh include specifications e.nd blueprints where necessary, as
well as estimates of the labor required
e.nd the costs involved. In addition the
sponsor pledges support for carrying on
the project. This support takes such form
as supplying supervisory personnel, providing materials, supplies, or equipment,
furnishing land or office space, providing
transportation facilities, pledging a cash
contribution, or any combination of these
types. Project plans are drawn up by the
State or local public bodies in cooperation with WPt offices, and consideration
is given to the sugcestious of e.ny interested private group _such as the local
board of trade or civic organization. The
project application is then submitted to
the local and State WPA offices for final
approval and subsequently transmitted to
Washington for review by the central WPA
office and approval by the President.

Total Outlays of Sponsors

Funds pledged by sponsors for the
135,673 WPA projects placed in operation
through March 31, 1937, were valued at
$525,538,032. This amount represented approximately 13 percent of the total esti::::ui.ted cost. About 88 percent of the sponsors' funds were to go for construction
projects, somewhat less than half going
for projects that involved repairs and im-

The outlays of sponsors of WPA projects have been chiefly for materials, supplies, and equipment. These account for
about 48 percent of the $320,673,555 total
cf reported sponsors' fu!l-':ls used on projects through March 31, 1937. Rentals of
equipment and buildings a.mounted to a.bout
30 perce~t and wages and salaries to nearly 20 percent of the total. The rena.inder

During recent months sponsors have
borne an increasing proportion of the expenses of WPA project operations. Evidence of this is found in a comparison of
the value of materials, equipment, labor,
services, and other items actually made
available by sponsors with expenditure&
from Federal funds. Sponsors met 9.5 percent of project costs from the beginning
of operations through September 30, 1936.
This percentace increased to 12.6 in the
quarter ending December 31, 1936, and to
15.6 in the quarter ending W.arch 31, 1937.
This trend is summarized in Table 13.

of the outlay was made chiefly for heat,
light, water, and transportatioµ.
The
distribution by major types of projects of
each kind of sponsors' expenditures is
shOlrll in Table 14.
As noted in a section above, sponsors' t'unds spent for materials, supplies,
and equipment represented almost 40 percent of the total amount disbursed for
these items.
Sponsors' funds exceeded
Federal :t'unds used for certain materials,
such as lumber and its products (excluding
furniture), sand and gravel, paints and
va.rnishes, stone
and
glass products,
plumbuig equipunt and supplies, and misoellaneous items. On highway, road, and
street, publio buildings, s91'1'9r system and
other utility, white oollar, and sanitation
and health projects, sponsors• outlays
were relatively larger than on other projects. Sanitation and health projects show
a high peroentage of sponsors' funds because costs ot materials for sanitary
priTies, a type of work which predominates
in this group, are borne locally.
Forty percent of all rentals and service expenditures through March 31, 1937,
on WPA projeets was paid by sponsors.
Sponsors' outlays for certain types of
rentals., however, were well in excess of
similar outlays from Federal i'unds. In
the aggregate rental of equipment for pav-

Purchases of
:V..aterial1.,
Supplies,

ing, road building, and construction, and
of office and miscellaneous equipment,
sponsors' expenditures were 45 percent
greater than Federal expenditures, and tor
rentals of spaoe and services including
utilities, sponsors spent more than three
times as much as the Federal Government.
A similar relation existed in connection
with certain types of projects.
On white
collar and goods projects the value of
rentals and services procured from sponsors' funds was approximately double those
from Federal fund.a, whereas on public
buildings and on sewer system and other
utility projects the burden was almost
equally divided.
Sponsors' Funds for Completed Projects
The sponsors' share or the total cost
or projects reported canpleted by March
31, 1937, was 17 percent as compared with
13 percent pledged to all projects placed
in operation by that date. Sponsors' actual expenditures were relatively greater
than their pledges on 8 of the 10 major
types of projects.
Only on conservation
and sanitation and health projects were
the proportionate expenditures for ocmpleted projects lower than the pledges to
projects placed in operation. Table 12
shows sponsors' funds as percent of total
expenditures by types of projects.

Through May 31, 1937, obligatio ns bad
been incurred against 95 percent of the
funds allocated by the Presiden t . The extent to which obligatio ns have been liquidated is reflected in the expenditu re account based on the issuance or checks by
the United States Treasury. Such expenditures of Federal funds through May 31,
1937, totaled about $6,045,00 0 ,000 and
amounted to 88 percent of allocatio ns and
93 percent of obligatio ns.
Expenditu res or money provided under
the Emergency Relief Appropri ation acts by
all Works Program agencies amounted to
ne arly ~204,000, 000 during May 1937. This
monthly total represent s a reduction of
more than one-third from total expenditures during the peak month of the Program,

The chief item of expenditure on the
project programs o!
the WPA was tor
wage payments, or personal services.
The
Treasury statement or Federal expenditures
rrom the beginning of WPA operations
through April 1937 shows that more than 85
percent of all WPA project funds was expended tor the payment or labor. Expenditures for materials, supplies, and equipment amounted to 8 peroent of the total
and rentals of buildings and equipment to
less then 6 percent.
Miscellaneous expenditures amounting to less than 1 percent of the total were ma.de largely in
connection with contracts and contractual
services,including travel and transportation costs.

ot the Works Program runds is the Federal
Emereency Relief Administration which received #935,006,000 from the funds made
available under the 'IRA. Aot ot 1935. Thia
amount, representing 20 percent ot the
total alloota:Uons under that act, was used
to continue the relief program ot the l!'ERA
during the period when the Works Program
was being put into operation. Practically
all of this money bas been expended.

On the student aid program ot the NYA
practically all expenditures took the form
of payments to students, and on the work
projects operated by that administration
as much as 97.7 percent· of the checks was
issued in payment of wages.
Supplies and
materials accounted tor more than half the
remaining expenses on tha NYA work projects. Table 18 summarizes expenditures under the WPA by programs and by objects of
expenditures. The amounts expended through
April 30 tor wages and for materials and
other costs are presented in Table 19.
Other Agencies

Among the Federal agencies to which
the President has allocated large portions

Activities of the Emergency Conservation Work, initiated in 1933, were carried
on from April 1935 through June 1936 with
funds from the ERA .Act ot 1935.
These
funds amounted to $594,970,000 and represented 13 percent of the total allocated
under the 1935 Act. Since about July l,
1936, ECW has been operating throu~ use
ot a direct appropriation ot $308,000,000
Jmde in the First Deficiency Appropriation
Act or 1936, supplemented by an appropriation of $95,ooo.ooo made in the First Deficiency Appropriation Act or 1937. Unexpended balances of ERA act funds amounted
to less than 1 percent of the ECW allocatiomfrom these tunds as of May 31, 1937.

Out ot the funds made ava.Uable by
the ERA Act of 1935, allocations were made
to the Public Works Administration tor the
continuation ot the program or public
works begun under the National Inaustrial
Recovery Act. A total of $429,702,000 had
been allocated by May 31, 1937, of which
tl07,870,000 went to the Housing Division of the PWA and $321,832,000 to its

Federal Agencies Participating in the Works Program

Through the operation ot projects under
the :Emergency Relier Appropriation Acts ot 1935
and 1936, many agencies
of the Federal Government became participants
in the Works Program.
These include new emergency agencies created especially for operation under tho Works Program, i.e., the
Rural Electrification Administration, the
Resettlement Administration, the Puerto
Rico Reconstruction .Administration, and
the Works Progress Acn..inistration, and
other emergency agencies such as Emergency
Conservation Work and the Public 1'iorks Administration, which were established prior
to 1935. In addition to these administrations as many as 41 regular agencies of
the Federal Govermnent were enabled to extend their usual activities through the
medium of the Works Program.
It is the
purpose here to comment briefly on the op-

erations of the Federal agencies, i.e.,
the group exclusive of WPA and ECW, and to
outline the activities of ~W.
Because of the diverse nature of the
usual work of the Federal agencies participating in th& Works Program, there is
great variation in the types of -Works Frogram projects prosecuted by them.
The
projects ra.Dge frcm minor repair jobs on
Federally owned buildings.as done under
the ~U&rtemaster Corps,to the wide public
buildings program of the Public Horka Administration; tran the construction ot
an.all soil erosion checkdams by the Soil
Conservation Service to work on the Grand
Coulee Dem under the direction ot the
Bureau of Reclanation; trom long~range
weather cycle analysis by the Weather Bureau to the 1935 Census of .American Business supervised by the Bureau of the Census.
Not only do projects va:ry fran. one
agency to another, but a single agency may
carry on several programs which difter in

th ere are always
con:mon features
characteristic of the
agency.
The Resettlement Admi~istration,
f or example, is coping wi. th the farm probl e;n by making loe.ns c.nd grants to needy
f anners, by the resettlement of fan:iers
from Si.lbmarginal to good land and the ;retirement from production of the poor land,
and by the construction of suburban 6 reenbelt to~-us - low-cost housing facilities
located near large cities.
Not only e.re Federal agencies participati.Dg in the Works ProgrSll by use of direct allocations of funds but they also
act as cosponsors and sup ervisors of projects operated by-the Wor ks Progress .Administration.
.An outstanding eX&llple is
the land developnent program of the Resettlement Administration , which has expended over $25,500,000 of funds allocated
to the Works Progress Administration and
in turn allotted by the WPA to the Resettlement Ad!ninistntion.
Through May 20,
1937, the total value of WPA projects carried on in cooperation With other Federal
esenciea (exclusive of Res ettlement's land
developnant program) amounted to almost
t:33,000,000, of which about $26,000,000
came tran 1936 :funds and the balance frac.

every State. Agencies such as the PWA and
the Bureau of Public Roads extend into al:nost all of the counties in the Nation.
If the work of an agency is localized, an
attempt is made to show specifically where
the work is carried on, using city, State,

trend of operations under each program.
For certain agencies With fairly large
numbers employed, the trend of employment
is shown in Chart 10.
The total nur~ber of man-hours worked
through April 30, 1937, as listed here is
based ou periodic reports by each agency
on man-hours actually worked.
Average Hourly Wage Rates

EROSION CONTROL

Forest Service Project
Treasury Department.
This figure lags
somewhat behind actual operating costs,
particularly in the case of agencies whose
work is prosecuted by means of c<m.tracts,
where payments against contracts are often
not made until soma time after the payments are earned, and where a percentage
is withheld until completion of the work.
Period or Operation and
Num,ber or Projects
The project unit used in the table is
an official project, i.e., a project as
approved by the President which may be operated as one or more work projects. In
cases where a program includes more than
one official project, the date given for
the beginning of the program is the starting date for the first project, and the
completion date is the date on which the
last project is ccmpleted.
The starting
date for a project is the time when personnel was first employed; the cao.pletion date is fixed at the time when all
financial obligations have been li~uidated. Because of the method used in determining the latter, projects v.bich are
physically canpleted are not necessarily
listed in the "cao.pleted" column.
Er:lploJD1ent and Man-Hours
Under employment is given the ntm1ber
of persons at work during the week anding
on the specified date.
By showing the
amount of employment at stated semiannual
intervals, and the date and amount of peak
employment, a general idea is gi van of the

The average hourly earnings cited are
based on the entire period of Works Program operation through April 30, 1937. In
the case of agencies which had completed a
sufficient number of projects to provide a
representative picture, the records of
completed projects were ueed to estimate
average earnings; for other agencies the
estimates are based on a comparison of
total hours worked with pay roll totals.
Since J"uly 1, 1936, all agencies have
maintained hO\l,rly wage rates equivalent to
those prevailing in private industry for
corresponding occupations in each locality.
Variations in average hourly earnings tran
agency to agency may therefore be attributed largely to factors of geographic location and differences in the skills of
required labor. For instance, the average
hourly earnings on PWA proj acts, using
relatively large proportions of skilled
construction labor, often in urban areas,
are much higher than on Forest Service
projects, which are prosecuted prilnarily
by unskilled labor in rural areas.
Fi111ncin9 C•rent 0pc,.tion1
An examination of the
Employment
trends and a couparison ot expenditures
with allocations, as present&d elsewhere
in this report, reveal the fact that Works
Program operations of Federal agencies are
considerably past the peak.
Ten agencies
have entirely completed their projects and
many of the others are nearing completion
of work financed by tunds so far made
available.

This does not necessarily imply that
functions carried on with ERA act ~.mds
will lapse upon the exhaustion of such
funds.
Specifically, Energency Conservation Work, which operated with ERA act
tunds fran April 1935 until J"une 30, 1936,
is now being carried on by direct appropriations.
The Rural Electrification AdDigitized by

ministration is continuing ite tunctions
with allocations provided by the Rural
Electritication Act of 1936. ~any of the
more recently initiated PWA." non-Federal
projects, providiDg about half the current
snployment reported tor the agency, are
being financed
tran a revolving fund
hitherto available only tor loans, in accordance with provisions of the Emergency
Relief Appropriation Act of 1936.
The
large irrigation projects of the Bureau
of Reclamation, many of which were begun prior to the Works Progrsn and were
carried on during the past 2 years with
Viorks Program allocation.a, will be continued by means of direct appropriations to
the Bureau and a revolving fund deriving
its incane tram contracts with water users.
Activities of certain agencies, however, are being continued with funds provided by the ERA-Act of 1936.
The projects o~ these agencies are characterized
by the fact that most of the costs are incurred for labor, and the fact that the
skills requ~.red in their prosecution can
~e&dily be found among persons certified
as in need of relief. In general, the
projects provide for conservation, repair
and improvement, and clerical work. As
examples, may be cited the allocations
frcm 1936 ERA Act funds through May 31,

1937, to the Forest Service, $16,685.,250;
to the Bureau of Yards and Docks, $16,547,000; end to the Bureau of Internal
Revenue, ~,391,017.

Non-Fcdcr•I Division of PWA
More detail than that presented in
the tabulation is required for the activities of the Non-Federal Division of the
Public Works Administration. This agency
ccmmenced operations under the National
Industrial Recovery Act, and further tunds
were provided by the Dnergency Relief Appropriation Act of 1935.
Under the ERA
Act of 1935, PWA non-Federal projects are
financed by a direct grant of ERA act
funds in an amount not to exceed 45 percent of the total project costs. The remaining 55 percent comprises a 108D from
the. PWA revolving :tund or contribution
from the local public body which acts as
sponsor, or a combination of both.
Although data as to employment, period of operAtion, or average hourly earnings by types of projects are not shown,
some idea or the ccmposition of the nonFederal activities is given by the following table.

During the depression some 2,000,000 tarm

States, received aid tram

In a single month ( February 1935) , when the rural
relier loaa was at its peak, well over
l,000,000 farm operator and farm laborer
households were receiving aid.
Only part
of the vast volume of rural need reflected
here was due directly to the depression
and the droughts of the '30's. The remainder was due to farm problelJlS of long

Extension ot Federal relief into rural areas, beginning on a national scale

of these tarm tamilies had been living at
substandard levels for years. Others bad
been on the brink ot disaster and needed
only the depression and the successive
droughts to topple them into dependency.
These groups included the tarmers who
bad been trying tor years to till soil

deteriorated beyond redemption.
Typical
ot this group were the tarmers of the
southern hill country, able to get only

Throughout the United States such groups
could be found in hilly, dry, or forested sectionsr or regions where the soil
was light, sandy, or seriously eroded.

Vast

Concentration on cleancultivated row crops led to erosion in the

In the boom years of agriculture,
farmers were encouraged to purchase large

Before they were able to realize on their

It also reflects the poor soil,
surplus
population,
and decadent lumber
and mining industries
of the AppalachianOzark
highland region, represented in
this list
by Kentu9ky, Pennsylvania,
Arkansas, and South
Carolina.
Administrative
factors, of course,
also affected the rel ie f loe.d.
Although
the tenant system has
created extreme need
in the Cotton South, tor instance, the relief loe.d remained below average in all
Southern cotton States with the exception
of South Carolina and Arkansas .

Farm Relief Trcnc:11
Attempts by the Federal Government
early in the depression to aid farmers
through loans and cooperative se 11 in g
agencies reached only a fraction of those
in need.
Benefits under the Agricultural
Adjus·tment Act and the Farm Credit Administration loan program failed to reach
thousands of farm tenants or mrginal farm
owners whose credit was not good enough
for this type of loe.n.
Such farmers had
no recourse except to relief grants similar to those being extended to the industrial unemployed.
Beginning in May 1933, the Federal
Emergency Relief Admini stration became the
chief source of aid.
Road-building programs to provide jobs for farmers in the
drought areas were soon developed. Drrught
relief also took the form
of outright
grants of subsistence goods and grants or
advances ot livestock reed and seed for
forage crops.
By October 1933 approximately 417,000 farmers were receiving aid
from FERA tund s.
In the spring of 1934 a rural rehabilitation program was established under
t h e ~ to provide loans for family ne-

cessities or f arm equipment to farmers who
would not need recurring relief grants if
only they bad - mough goods w1 th which to
grow a crop.
This progreJ11 bad its first
and greatest development
in the South
where sharecroppers and
Other
tenants
could not get subsistence goods from their
landlords, and hence would have bad no
means of support through the growing season if it bad not been for the rehabilitation loans.
By February 1935 the number of farmers receiving direct or work relief grants
or rehabilitation loans had reached 685,000 and, in addition, more than 300,000
farm laborer households we~ receiving assistance in rural areas.

The rural rehabilitation program was
greatly expanded in the spring or 1935, as
the drought relief cases were transferred
to this phase of the relief program. The
genE!ral relief rolls showed a more than
corresponding decrease, as improvement in
farm conditions made it possible for families to get along without aid.
Of all
agricultural cases on general relief in
February, only 42 percent were carried
forward through the month of June.
The
remainder became rural rehabilitation clients or ceased to receive Federal aid.
Beginning with July 1, the rehabilitation program became a part of the newly
establisned Resettlement Administration,
and the Federal Works Program began to

Of
the 328,000 families completely removed
from Federal aid it is estiJDated that
about half became at least temporarily
salt-supporting, largely through the sale
of produce or through· earnings in private
employment, and that the other half received aid from State or local funds or
were left without aid from any agency.
In the last 2 months ot the year, as
Federal grants for direct relief under the
emergency relief administrations were·being terminated, the Resettlement Administration inaugurated a program of direct
eJIErgency grants tor farmers who could not
qualify tor rehabilitation loans.

absorb workers from the genernl relief
rolls. By October 1935 the number of fann
operator f!'l.l'lilies receiving aid during the
month under the three Federal programs Works Program, Resettlel'!lent
Administration, and Federal Emergency Relief Administration - had fallen to 382,000. During
the last months of 1935 the downward trend
was reversed as needs incre~sed with the
approach of winter.
In December l.935,
396,000 farm operators received aid under
the three programs. lJ
Altogether, between July land December 31, 1935, 551,000 fanners were removed
from the rolls of agencies expending F".iRh
funds.
About 186,000 found employment on
the Works Program and 37,000 were transferred directly from general relief rolls

The number of :tarm families aided by
Works Program employment and Resettlement
Administration emergency grants reached a
peak early in 1936.
During the spring,
when the Resettlement Administration was
expanding its loan program, there was a
general downward trend in the number of
farmers receiving emergency
grants
and
Works Program earnings. ~e trend was reversed in midsummer, when severe drought
conditions JJE.de necessary the expansion af
both the eme~gency grant and
the
Works
programs. The last 2 months of 1936 saw
another decline of Vlorks Program employment among farmers, as the Resettlement
Administration was given primary responsibility for the drought relief load.
Recurring Needs

Study of the farm families on relief
in 1935 shows that, although there had
been some improvement in agriculture.l conditions, the need for Federal aid continued.
Often the self-support attained by
the families who left relief rolls was
only temporary. Out ·or 215,000 farm operator families accepted for aid between
July 1, a..nd December 31, 1935, by agencies
expending Federal Emergency Relief Administration funds, four-firths were former
relief oases ret.urning to the rolls.
The reasons for opening relief oases
in the July-October period a.re also significant, indioatin~ that improvement in
economic conditions had not been sufficient to offset the effects of the 1934
drought and other factors causing rural
distress.

Farmers on relief were tairly typi cal

Study of the farm relie f probl em
makes it clear that any program tor the
r econst,r uction of American agriculture
must take into account the conservation of
human values as well as of soil and other
natural resources. It must also be adaptable to the peculiar regional needs of
different parts of the country.
For some areas the reform of the tenant system and the arre st or the increase
or ten.enc:, are ot paramount importance,
since tenancy has proved to be a stumbling
block in the path of such constructive efforts as crop diversifi cation, soil conservation, and cooperative marketing.

and daily working hours of industry. Retirement of submarginal lands from agriculture is an obvious necessity, but
financial and legal difficulties stand in
the way of measures which would be imnediately effective.
In providing for tbe temporary needs
of destitute farm :f'amilies, work programs
need to be adjusted so that they are carried on during offseasons and do not interfere with farm operations.
Rural rehabilitation loans are desirable for many farmers since they provide
the necessary credit at a reasonable rate
of interest, farm plans worked out to fit
the individual farm, and advice and supervision in the execution of these plans.
Guided migration has been found to be
a basic need in rural reconstruction. Although the Government should not arbitrarily move people out of blighted areas, it
can offer advice to farmers who wish to
leave e.n area .1.n '1hich they cannot support
themselves •.

Cooperation is recognized as one of
the hopes of the snnller farmer in marketing and purchasing, in owning machinery
and lands in common, and in meeting far.n
and home problems. Education to stimulate
the desire for a higher standard of living
is another means of social reconstruction.
The improveioont of educational and other
institutions in rural areas,
however,
calls for better financial support than is
now available.
Equalization funds are

welfare to reduce the financial inequali-

The more fu.ndam9ntal
measures for
building a superior agrarian civilization
in the United States are long-time measures, not planned for inmediate results.
Furthermore, they require national coordination and Federal financial support.
Sucoessfl11 rehabilitation cannot be accomplished without a continuing course of action, uninterrupted by sudden shifts in

WPA White Collar Projects

The adoption ot the
policy of providing Jobs
:tor unEID.ployed persons in
keeping with their usual
occupations necessitated
the selection o:t projects
which would utilize and
skills.
main~ain these
In the develo:pnent
ot
such projects the group of persons in need
ot relief who were classified as white
collar workers created a special problEID..
Constituting about 12 percent of the total
eligible workers in January 1936, this
group included persons with a wide variety
of skills - artists, musicians, actors,
writers, physicians, nurses, and teachers,
as well as salesmen, stenographers, typists, and other office workers. Efforts
to utilize the talents and training o-r
these persons have resulted in the development ot a program whose worth must be
measured in much broader terms than the
provision o'f a living and the maintenance
ot the skills ot the unsnployed in need of
relief. These broader terms include both
the services rendered to tbe general public and the material products resulting
fran the operation ot the projects. In
addition, certain worthwhile camnunity or
govermnental activities, after exploration
on projects, have been adopted as permanent fields for camnunity development.
The training ot workers in new or advanced
fields is another important aspect ot the
program.
WPA white collar projects gave employment to 235,715 persons during the
latter half' of April 1937. Of' this number
137,901, or 59 percent, were men and 97,814, or 41 percent, were women; 93 percent
of the total number employed had been certified as in need of relief. Outstanding
among the various types of projects undertaken for the employment of white collar
persons are education projects, recreation
projects, and a group of projecta classified as professional and technical, each
group employing fran 44,000 to 48,000 persons during the
latter pm of April.

other relatively important projects from
the standpoint of employment are research
and statistical projects
and clerical
projects, which employed 30,233 and 25,629
persons, respectively.
The number of men
and of women working on each type of white
collar project is given in Table 26.
Expenditures of Federal funds for
white collar projeots have been chiefly
for labor; nonlabor costs have boen relatively Sllall, and to a great extent borne
by local sponsors. On the canpleted projects of this type for which reports had
been received through March 31, 193?, nonlabor costs accounted for less than? percent of the total cost. Sponsoring agencies generally supply housing facilities
including light, heat, and Jani tor service, and equipnent and materials needed
for th~ projects.
In the preparation of
guidebooks on the writers' projects the
support of State and local bodies often is
extended to include the transportation required for workers in collecting local
data, access to source material, and assistance trQll experts, as well as funds
for the publication of the various guidebooks. School boards sponsoring education
projects have provided space for class
meetings and borne various expenses incidental to the v.ork.

A. cultural program organized under
tour major groupings - art, music, theatre,
and writers' projects - baa been developed
under the WPA to utilize the talents of
workers experienced in these fields.

The art program, while achieving the
purpose of cC11serving talents aDd skills
ot persons capable of work in this field,
has brought both the fine and applied arts
in closer touch with the daily lite of
many canmunities and has given to large
nlDllbers of the .American people their first
opportunity for this type of cultural experience.

The Federal theatre audience is to a
considerable extent a new audience, gathered from scattered rural areas of the
country as well as fran sections of New
York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Aneeles,

clubs, industrial clubs, fraternal organizations, and State, civic, and county
groups. The response to these efforts is
illustrated by the recent grants of $10,500 by the Rockefeller Foundation and of
facilities and equipnent of equal value by
Vassar College to permit the Federal theatre project to conduct an experimental
program at Vassar during the SUlllller of
1937 to retrain stage directors and advance their abilities in new anergi.Dg
theatre patterns. Several States have undertaken to develop actors and directors
tor nontheatre districts.
Another type of support lla.s caae tran
dramatists. George Berna.rd Shaw, who personally maintains rigid control of his
productions, bas agreed to permit performance by the Federal theatre ot any or all
ot his plays at the project's modest royalty rate of $50 a week. Similar arr&Il8ements have been made with Eugene O'Helll.
Following endorsement by Sinclair Lewis
tor the performance of his "It Can't Happen Here" by the Federal theatre, 21 different versions of this play were performed on as many stages in 18 cities ot
the country on the Salll3 night - a unique
incident in the history ot the Jmeric8Jl
theatre.

and other cities where the populace is no
more familiar with the legitimate theatre

project. Many of these pertonnances have
been given at children's hemes, orphanages,
schools and colleges, hospitals, asylums,

Entertainment has
also been tu.mimed at CCC cem.ps, and

through the preparation of the first oamprehensive American
guide.
Research,
writing, and editorial work required for
the series, which in addition to the national guide includes 42 State guides, a
large number of city and local guides, and
pamphlets describing recreational areas
and tours by land and water, occupy most
of the project workers.
Although most of the project writers
are working on the guides, a number of
other important activities are under way.
Closely linked with the American Guide
program is the activity of the United
States Tourist Information Office, supervised by the National Park Service of the
Department of the Interior but staffed
with Federal writers' project workers.
Another phase of the project, conducted in
cooperation with the Bureau of the Census
and the United States Conference of MayOY"s,
involves assembling a municipal reference
library, made up of reports and documents
relating to city govermnent, for all municipalities with a population of over
50,000.
Research on special aspects of
the economic, social, and cultural development of the country is still another
activity conducted under the Federal writers' project.

Other WPA-Sponsored Federal Proiects
In addition to the art, music, theatre, and writers' projects a number of
other WPA projects are in operation on a
Nation-wide basis.
The survey of State and Local Historic Records involves the preparation of an
inventory of' State, county, municipal, and
other non-Federal
records.
Under this
survey, initiated by the American Historical Association and the Joint Canm.ittee
on Materials for Researoh, acting in conjunction with officials of the Library of
Congress and the National Archives, particular emphasis is being placed on county
records and the publication of a readily
aooeasible guide to them. Preservation of
original records of localities has also
been facilitated.
Among these were early
records of counties in southern Indiana.
Pictures of these records were taken by
microphotography shortly
before floods
destroyed almost all the originals.
A similar service in connection with
official records of all branches of' the

Federal Govermnent is being provided by
the Surve:t: of Federal Archives, with the
Nationalchives as cooperating sponsor.
Its purpose is to locate and investigate
Federal archives novr in storage all over
the country, to identify their oontents,
and to furnish other pertinent information
of use to the National Archives in insuring preservation of the records and facilitating their use by students and government officials.
Project workers
have
checked, classified, indexed, and arranged
for the safe and accessible storage of
great quantities of reoords which could
not be cared for properly by the normal
agency staffs. At the present time workers are engaged in the preparation of an
inventory or guide, which is indispensable
if this mass of material is to have its
maximum utility.
Work of a similar nature, the preparation of a pennanent and accurate record
of early buildings and ships, ia being
done on the Historic American Buildings
and Historic .American 1~rchant Marine Surveys.
Initiated under the Civil Works
Program, the Buildings Survey has been
continued by the VlPA under the sponsorship
of the Department of the Interior in collaboration with the Library of Congress
and the American Institute of' Architects.
Project workers have been employed in
making measured records Qf historic buildings, to be preserved in the Fine Arts
Division of the Library of Congress. Supplementary photogra~hs and textual material completethe record-which already covers
2,300 subjects. The National Park Service
is providing technical direction for the
survey, and local chapters of the Amerioan
Institute of Architects are contributing
advisory servioe·s and, in many looa.liti6s,
space end equipment.
In other instanoes
these are furnished by looal architects or
by educational institutions.
The Smithsonian Institute is the cooperating sponsor for the Merchant Marine
Survey which provides work for marine
draftsmen and other skilled persons in the
nine States where the project is nOW" operating. Measured drawings from original
plans, models, and the remains of early
vessels, supplemented by photographs and
historioal material, can.pose this record
of the development of' marine architecture
in this country• More than 80 surveys have
been canpleted and deposited with the National .Museum and 200 others are under way.

program is operated, in order to avoid duplication and to facilitate the expansion
of the work along the lines best suited to
local needs.

Widespread unanployment among public
school teachers appeared with the depression. Faced by reduced revenues, school
boards were compelled to consolidate and
enlarge classes, eliminate certain subjects, end reduce salaries to such an extent that, according to estimates of the
United states Ottice of F.ducation, in 1933
about 188,000 employable persons holding

Many ot these men and women, encouraged by their success in mastering the rudiments of education, want to continue
their school work, as do thousands of others who were forced to leave school in ~he
lower grades.
In Maren> 395,000 persons
took advantage of the opportunities of~ered by WPA classes in suoh fields as
!:nglish, aritl'fmetio, history, eoonanios,
civics, science, psychology, and public
speaking.

That a democratic government must be
established upon the foundation of an intelligent and infonned citizenry is an accepted principle. The present urgent need
for strengthening t~is foundation has been
recognized in the WPA education program
through the development of a program of
public affairs education. Al.most 110,000
persons were enrolled in regular classes
in March and an additional 37,000 attended
lectures ar..d forums on public affairs duriDg the month.
Much of the education in public affairs has oeen directed toward the needs
of workers in industrial, commercial, and
agricultural fields. Widespread eagerness
for further education on the part of workers is evident throughout the
Nation,
especially since thij passage of the W&gner
Labor Relations Act.
Courses in this
field are intended to give the worker an
understanding of the basic facts of ~concmics affecting the worker, as well as
the history and background of labor movements in America. The purpose of such education is to equip the worker better to
meet the problsns affecting labor in .America, through intelligent and in:formed participation in democratic processes.
Aided by the . WPA program in learning
English, thousands of aliens have been
both encouraged and prepared to take examinations for citizenship.
Naturalization
courses have been developed in clo·se cooperation with the officials of tho Immigration and Naturalization Service and, in
accordance with its policy, have been designed to give a thorough understanding of
the history or the Nation, the nature of
democratic government, the principles of
the Constitution, aDd the duties as well
as the privileges of citizenship.
Courses in foods and cooking, sewing,
hane managEIIlent, hygiene, and child care
are being attended by more than 100,000

women. A progran has also been developed
to aid parents in meeting persoual problems which arise in their homes. Parent
education wo~k under the rlPA is, in large
measure, an extension of the services of
established agencies such e.s the ParentTeacher .Association into industrial, rural, mining, and other regions where such
agencies are lacking.
To help counteract the effects on
children of the lack of nourishing food,
medical attention, and proper background
for nonnal growth, the WPA nursery school
program was developed • . .Almost 1,800 WPA
nursery schools are now in operation.
Children from
unemployed families and
underprivileged homes receive a thorough
physical examination on entering nursery
school. This is followed by daily health
inspections and whatever treatment is necessary, provided by physicians, dentists,
and others who contribute their services.
Nourishing mid-day meals and rest periods
further help to lay the foundations of
good health. Supervised play is promoted.
Finally·, through home visits by teachers
and nurses, an effort is made to secure
the cooperation of parents in order to
make pennarient the benefits of the nursery
schools.
Because vocational training and rehabilitation is ot outstanding importance to
the unemployed, the WPA education program
includes training in a variety ot occupations. Industrial, mechanical, building,
commercial, and agricultural instruction
has been offered, as well as training in
retail clerking and salesnanship, and in
the service occupations such as restaurant
work, household Elllployment, and sewing and
tailoring. In sane sections of the country native arts and crafts have been revived. 'l'he vocational aspects or employment on WPA construction and production
projects are emphasized by the special
training of project foremen and other employees provided in cooperation with the
WPA Division of Operations.
The practical benefits of the training being given currently to more than
200,000 men and wan.en in almost 16,000
classes are evident fran the results of a
study of job placements or persons trained
in these classes. Reports available from
13 States, covering only jobs resulting
directly from the training secured in WPA
classes, indicate that almost 20 percent

Digitized by

Google
57

of the enrollees have obtained employment
and that monthly placements average 3 percent of the enrollment.
In addition to these major activities, the WPA education program supplements certain activities of the National
Youth Administration. Th.rough a number of
collegiate centers and through correspondence courses the education program brings
college training to yo\.Ulg persons in areas
where no colleges are located (ar~ong them
Inail/ CCC camps}, and to persons who are
not reached through the student aid progran of the National Youth Administration.
The education program aloo supplements the
work of the recreation program in pranoting constructive use of leisure time by
offering classes 1n music, art, dramatics,
handicrafts, practical science, and similar avocational fields.
Recreation

With the reduction which has taken
place during the past three decades in
nonnal working hours and in more recent
-years the failure of large numbers of persons to find jobs, a marked increase in
leisure and idleness has occurred. Promotion of constructivo use of leisure time,
therefore, has becoill9 increasingly important to the national well-being. This objective has significance even fran the
negative point of view, since idleness may
easily becane productive of restlessness,
delinquency, and crime.

USING PIAYGROUND FACILITIES

58

DeveloIJ11ent of opportunities for the
constructive use of leisure tune is the
purpose of the WPA recreation program. In
working toward this objective through the
provision of leadership in a wide variety
of recreational activities, the program is
currently employing about 45,000 workers,
most of whc:m have been certified as in
need of relief.
Second in importance only to the provis ion of jobs for relief persona is the
training aspect of the recreation program.
Leadership in the organization and develOIJ!lent of facilities for leisure-time activities within the community is an expanding field for einployment of protessional personnel which, it bhs been estimated, will
require at
least 80,000
trained workers before being fully expanded. Owing to its recent development, however, only a limited n\.Ullber of persons
have experience in this field in which
less than 3,000 persons had full-time employment in 1935. This situation explains
the emphasis under the WPA program on
training for future employment rather than
rehabilitation
of
previously acquired
skills. State, district, county, or local
training conferences in at least 40 States
have given recreation workers so.c.e type of
training in program activities, and have
not only increased the efficiency of pi-oject operation but have also facilitated
the pennanent employment 6f project workers in recreation jobs.
Organized recreation as one of the
more important means of utilizing leisure
has the universal support of leaders in
education and social work. In its developnent as a WPA program, public agencies
such as departments of education, health,
public welfare, and parks, in the State
govermnents, as well as State universities, sponsor the State-wide projects. In
individual co:nmunitie~ the projects often
have local cosponsors, such as the school
boards. These sponsors contribute facilities, equiIJ11ent, and funds for the operation of the projects.
Under the WJ>A recreation program efforts have been made to correlate the activities of all local agencies which function in the recreation field. Wider use
of all facilities and services ha.a resulted. In s0r:1e areas where supervised public
recreation is entirely new, experimental
and demonstration projects have developed

Google

new techniques and methods ot providing
the community with this service. Communities ot all types throughout the country
have benefited rran the program and are
now taking steps to secure a pe:rmanent
status for recreation as a local institution.
Further indication ot camnunity support is provided by the growing number of
citizens serving voluntarily on advisory
committees, and thus assisting recreation
supervisors in planning and conducting
programs. Having beccme familiar with the
program acti vi ties, these comni tteemen
often enthusiastically support measures
tor making them a pe:rmment function ot
local government.
Since the effectiveness ot recreational work depends upon the extent ot
participation of individuals, the development of projects has always been based
upon community interests and preferences.
The local advisory committees facilitate
the pranotion or projects best suited to
local needs and also share in the responsibility tor their administration.
Organized recreation covers a wide
range of activities which may be grouped
roughly under three general headings cultural, social, and physical recreation.
The WPA program, under which all three aspeot& have been developed, has grown tremendously since the autumn of 1935. At
present the total attendance throughout
the country includes millions of persons
each month.
Cultural recreation receives considerable emphasis under the WPA program.
Individuals are encouraged to develop the
aptitudes they possess and to enjoy the
creative impulses satisfied by arts and
crafts ot various types.
Choral as well
as instrumental music groups have been
organized in most centers. Dramatic arts
such as puppetry and other theatrical activities are being stimulated, as are lectures, forums, and discussion groups on
subjects dictated by the interests ot the
participants.
Physical recreation has Wide popularity. An important activity is the supervision and teaching of swinming.
Gemes
requiring a high degree ot teamwork, such
as baseball, basketball, football,
and
soccer, are rostered, and other sports such

as bowling, boxing, horseshoe-pitching,
and tennis also have their place in the
program. Attention is likewise given to
general activities of the playground and
gymnasium.
Club work of all kinds, for adults as
well as for boys and girls, the teaching
of group dancing, and the organization of
general outdoor activities such as picnics
and hiking expeditions are important aspects of social recreation. The operation
of play centers for preschool children is
a popular phase of the program.
Statistical, Surivcy, ancl RcsuN:h Projects

The statistical, survey, and research
projects discussed here are of State or
local
scope.
(Nation-Wide statistical
projects sponsored by Federal agencies
were summarized in the December 1936 Report on Progress of the Works Program.)
In order to avoid duplication, assure
proper technioal procedures, and select
the undertakings more valuable as to scope,
purpose, methods, and supervision, all
projects are carefully examined. Critical
review by the Coordinating Conmittee of
the Central Statistical Board and Works
Progress Administration of all project applications has helped to assure the soundness ot the projects undertaken and has
resulted in the disapproval of hundreds of
projects involving inadequate technical
procedures, dupli-cation, or activities of
limited public benefit.
The statistical and research projects
approved by the Committee provided jobs
during April 1937 tor over 30,000 of the
white collar workers employed by the WPA.
Other projects of a statistics.1 nature approved by the Camni ttee, but classii'ied
under other categories in Table 26", were
employing about 4,000 workers.
The multiplicity ot subjeots beiDg
investigated permits mention of only a few
or the most outstandi.Dg.
The collection
and organization or information essential
to assessment and other real property tax
procedures has been ot value to lD8DY communities, as in the case ot St. Louis
where the material relative to classifying
and revaluating fireproof buildings resulted in an increase ot several hundred thousand dollars in State and local

revenues.
Inventories of real property
necessary tor improvement in housing conditions have been made acc9rding to standard practices, end sL~ilar studies made
under earlier programs have been surmiarized according to the same standard>so
that valuable data have been made available on a comparable basis for hundred~ of
~ities throughout the country.
&~andard procedures have also been
developed for the traffic surveys ~~onsored by many legislatures and police departments.
These have resulted in moro
effective methods of reducing accident~.
Another type of project for which standard
techniques have been developed is the indexing and modernization of vital statistics, immigration, and naturalization records, particularly essential in view of
the increased demands made upon these
sources for infonnation essential to Social Security Act probrams. .Among the
r..e.ny other fielc.s in which \':PA survey and
r~search projects are operated are studies
sponsored by local health departments to
facilitate registration, health carupaign.s,
and the control of disease,. and otherwise
increase the effectiveness of the health
de-partments; surveys or crir.:e and delinquency to provide a factual oasis for
preventive and enforcement
activities;
research in the physical and biologiCAl
sciences and especially in problems of
soil erosion; and invest1e,ltion of econanic
and eocial problans such as farm tenancy,
cooperatives, and part-time farming.

Other White Collar Projects
Other white collar and professional
projects vary as widely in type as the
backgrounds of the :i;,ersons for whcm they
provide jobs and the needs of the coomunities in which they operate. Within this
range are nursing and public health projects, library and museum projects, and
projects supplying clerical worke~s for
many purposes.
Nursing and nublic health projects,
operatinr; in 37 States, the Dis-trict of
ColUl!lbia, and New York City a.re sponsorod
by State or ·1ocal departments of public
health and involve expansion of their regular facilities or the undertaking of adeitional services. A:n. outstanding phase
of this project work is the home nursing
service provided for ~employed and needy

60

PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE

persons.
Registered nurses, on the request of physicians, assist in prenatal
and postnatal care .and also render service in cases of illness.
WPA nurses are
employed on clinical projects, promote
physical and oral hygiene through health
campaigns, and examine children for canraunicable diseases, physical defects, aDi
tooth decay or infection.
Nurses and
t~clmicians assist in immunization campaigns against whooping cough, typhoid
fever, diphtheria, snallpox, and other
diseases.
In many instances the work on 'i:-PA
projects has resulted in provision being
made to fine.nee similar services as a permanent community function. The WPA public
health nursing program in Georgia has bec~ae a regular activity of the State Department of Public Health which previously
had no such program. Since the inauguration of this work under State auspices all
but 46 or the 200 WPA nurses have secured
permanent jobs. In New Jersey where a WPA
project has been supplying public health
nurses in 45 school districts #here no
such service previously existed, 16 school
districts have assumed full responsibility
tor the nursing service, aDd other districts propose to undertake th~ work as a
regular activity as soon as financial conditions permit.
The number of librarians certified as
eligible for WPA employment and the recognition of the need for the maintenance of
existing library facilities and for their

Digitized by

expansion was responsible for the initiation of WPA library projects.
These are
now operating in 32 States and employ
about 15,000 librarians and other workers.
About 2,500 free libraries have been established where such services had either
been discontinued or never existed, and
2,000 traveling libraries are providing
services for about hal.t a million persons
in sparsely settled rural areas.
Traveling libraries, in particular,
provide a unique service. In areas like
the 16 Kentucky counties with a population
of over 337,000 which bad only 52,000
books in a few scattered public libraries,
WPA project workers travel on horseback,
muleback, 13.lld by rowboat to make books and
magazines available to persons in mining
regions and isolated mountain districts.
In other rural areas trucks equipped as
libraries are used to distribute reading
matter to such subcenters as rural schools,
crossroads, stores, and private homes for
further circulation.
Traveling libraries
are e ■pecially numerous in Arkansas, Ohio,
Virginia, Georgia, and Tems, all of which
have dozens of units using every feasible
method of ~aking books into areas where
the need for them is greatest.
Museums represent a type of civic enterprise which was greatly curtailed during depression years when conmunity funds
were more urgently needed elsewhere. Many
museums had valuable exhibits in storage
but depleted funds prevented curators from
ma.king them available to the public.
For workers of varied occupational
backgrounds WPA museum projects provide

jobs which include unpacking, cleaning,
restoring, anc. classifying exhibits, building display cases, and painting backgrounds or settings.
Artists and sculptors are required for the creation of
educational displays. In the Field Museum
in Chicago WPA workers have reconstructed
an ancient gateway from fragments brought
by musewn representatives from the site of
a village near Babylon. Historical exhibits such as those at the Brooklyn Children's Museum and the State Historical
3ociety Museum in Denver have already been
of great interest and value, particularly
to school children.
The restoration in
the Denver City Museum of authentic colonial rugs dating from the Spanish exploration period, and the excavation and repair,
at Clarksdale, Arizona, of artifacts and
other relics of prehistoric civilization
in the Southwest are examples of the work
which is being conducted on museum projects.
Clerical projects to provide employment for persons with general office experience overlap practically every type of
white collar work and include such activities as public health, taxation, industrial relations, education, and social
welfare, Clerical workers on these projects are assigned to the suonsors and other cooperating agencies, most of which are
municipal, county, State, or Federal offices, in order to extend the public usefulness of these agencies.
About 26,000
persons are employed on clerical projects
in operation in all States except Arizona,
Iaaho, and Nevada.
Work performed on
these projects has been of considerable
worth to local governments.

The NYA vocational guidance and junior placement program, operated in collaboration with the United states Emplo.,ant
Service, is designed to help young persona
find jobs in private industry. To this end
the NYA. bas placed junior employment counselors in the offices of the State employment services in 61 cities in 26 States.
By the end of April 1937 more than 128,241
youths had been registered with these services and 51,915 of them had been placed
in private industry. Approximately 28,000
visits had been ma.de to employers tor the
purpose of soliciting jobs for the youths.

Another function ot the junior employment program is that of giving practical advice and occupational. information
concerning opportunities in the various
fields of work - training
requirements,
compensation, promotional. opportunities,
and the relative availability of jobs.
This work is done by the employment counselors through classes or the ci:rcul.a tion
of pamphlets. In some cities the guidance
bureaus attempt, by individual interviews,
to analyze the preferences and talents of
the job-seeking youths and to direct the
efforts or the youths toward the work for
which they are best suited.

National Recovery Administration. The Committee has- been carrying on an educational
campaign to encourage young men and women
to become apprentices and to encourage employers to assume responsibility tor the
training or apprentices in the skilled
trades, under' conditions which include
board, t~ining, and satisfactory wages.
From August 1935 to June l, 1937, approximately 6,000 indenture agreensnts had been
arranged by the Federal Committee. Contacts have also been made and cooperation
agreed upon by the Conmittee and a number
qf' trade unions.
A program

cemts for . unemtloyed§t~ women was initia: ed under t~e FE 11 · the summer of
1934. Continued under the NYA the program
now COJllPrises 28 camps
operated in 21
States.
Enrollment in the camps at the
end ot April 1937 totaled 1,800 girls between the ages ot 18 and 25 years, allot
whom had been certified for employment on
NYA proj"cta.
Girls enrolled at the camps work the
same number of' hours required on other NYA
·projects and ~ceive $5 a month in cash ii),
addition to their .s ubsistence. ·Their work
includes making hospital supplies, working
on Braille materials tor the blind, making
tennis nets and other simple equipment for
NYA recreation centerl)J, and such other
types ot emplo~nt as can be fitted into
the camp program. These activities at the
camps are supplemented by cladses in Eng~
lish, economics, health education, and
tre.ining in home economics. Recreation-

al activities round

out the camp program.

Agriculture and homemaking courses
will be made available to youths who are
members of' tenant and other
low-income
farm families through another Nn activity
recently planned on a Na-t ion-wide basis.
This projec, will be conducted in cooperation with the Departnsnt of Agriculture
and various State agricultural schools and
colleges·.
Enrollment for the practical
instruction in basic farming and home economies subjects at agricultural institutions within or near their home conmru.nities is to vary between land 3 months,
depending upon the type of program developed in each locality.
Tuition, subsistence, and other costs are to be worked
out on projects (on the school or other
public property) consuming approxine.tely
half of the student's ti&i, and a monthly
allowance of' $5 will be provided.
Young
persons will be selected for enrollment in
these projects on the basis of eligibility
ror NYA employment and ability to profit
by the type ot training offered.
They
will be assigned·in groups as special student a with courses of study adapted to
their particular needs and educational
levels. The bulk of the training for boys
will be given thrpugh demonstration in
such fields as farm praotioe ,. soil conservation~ soil chemistry, dairying, poultry
raising, crop diversification, and care of'

developed along two distinct fronts. One
involved the provision of direct
assistance for destitute persons, usually victims of unemployment. The other undertook
to provide jobs for unemployed persons,
both through the functioning of agencies
newly created to carry out local public
work programs and through enlarging the
scope of regula r governmental construction
activities.
Viewed as integrated parts of the recovery program, the objectives of the relief and work relief programs of the rederal Government have been threefold: to
assist States and localities in meeting the
problem of relief of unemployment;
to
give impetus to, and to facilitate the operation of, local programs for necessary
public construction and improvensnts which
were interrupted during the years of depression; . and to aid in stimulating general industrial and business recovery.
Most of the Federat activities direoted toward these ends have been carried
on by new agencies specifically
created
for the purpose.
These agencies have
.functioned usually with the financial, or
at least with the administrative, cooperation of the States and their political
subdivisions. The work carried on through
extension of the regular
programs of
Federal departments, either by expanding
the volume of work ordinarily done or by
v,aiving the fund-matching
requirements
ordinarily impos9d on the States and localities, however, has been financed entirely from Federal funds.

In 1933 the Federal lhergency Relief
Administration was created to administer
the making of direct grants to the States

68

for relief purposes.
With those grants,
supplemented by State and local funds,
many States, in addition to providing general relief for persons in need as a result of unemployment, carried on emergency
work relief programs. The work program was
expanded by the Federal Civil Works Administration in November 1933. The CWA carried on a work program employing both relief am nonrelief workers from the middle
of November until April 1934.
The experience of the CWA period resulted in greatly expanded emergency work
relief programs under the F.ERA, following
the discontinuance of the C:V,A program.
These, together with direct relief grants
e.nd special progrtuns for aid to transients, for rural rehabilitation, and for
energency education, constituted the major
relief programs until the inauguration of
the Works Program in July 1935.
In attacking the problem from another
direction, the Federal Ea:!ergency Administration of Public Works (PD.) was also established early in 1933.
The PWA. conducted a program of comparatively heavy
construction projects both through direct
loans and grants to States and municipalities, and through emergency allocations to

departments and agencies ot the Federal
Government already engaged in public work
of various types.
This program provided
employment for thousands of workers, and
at the same time stimulated activity in
the fields ot construction materials and
building.
It was financed partly with
:funds made available by the Reconstruction
J'inance Corporation and partly with funds
appropriated by the National Industrial
Recovery and other emergency acts.
Concurrent with
these relief and
emergency construction activities, Emergency Conservation Work, also initiated in
1933, provided in its Civilian Conservation camps jobs for young men between the
ages of 18 and 25.
Most of the enrollees
came tram relief families.

lnte;sretion Under the W orlcs Program

The Works Program, initiated under
the Emergency Relief Appropriation Act of

1935, integrated for the first time the
relief and construction activities of the
Federal Government.
This program was undertaken to provide work for a large number of unemployed persons, in keeping with
the newly expressed Federal responsibility
for aiding the destitute unemployed.
Under the Works Program, the Works
Progress Administration has conducted a
program of non-Federal projects which the
States and political subdivisions initiate, and in which they, as sponsors, participate financially.
ERA act ~1nds were
also allocated to the Public Works Administration for oontinuing both its program
of non-Federal projects, under which the
States and localities are required to
match Federal funds, and its program of
Federal housing projects.
The Resettlement Administration was
created early in the development of the
Works Program to administer aid to persons
in rural areas. This agency took over the

rural rehabilitation activities formerly
administered by the FKRA; it also bas carried on a program of subsistence
homestead, suburban resettlenent, and land development work projects.
A considerable
part of the 19~5 and subsequent emergenoy
relief funds was allocated to some -40 other
agencies and bureaus of the Federal Government to enable them to expand their public
work activities on an emergency basis.
After FERA grants for direct relief
were discontinued in December 1935, the
States and localities had to assume the
care ot the destitute persons who were
unemployable as well as of destitute persons who, though employable, could not be
absorbed in the Works Program. As the Sooial Seourity program got unde:r;- way, sane
of this financial burden reverted to the
Federal Government.

Both the Federal and the state and
local outlays for this purpose increased
markedly from year to year. While the total Federal expenditure was increasing
from $1,137,000,000 in 1933 to $3,853,000,000 in 1936, the States and localities
increased their participation from $339,000,000 in 1933 to $1,245,000,000 in 1936.
In other words, State and local expenditures in 1936 were nearly four times
greater than in 1933. In this first year,
State and local expenditures tor general
relief amounted to $312,000,000 and an additional $20,000,000 was used to finance
CWA projects during November and December.
During the same calendar year, $7,000, 00 0
was used to carry out Public Works Administration projects, bringing
the total
State and local outlay in 1933 to $339,-

ooo,ooo.

In 1934 non-Federal expendi~ures for
relief and C:WA projects increased to about
$480,000,000 and $162,000,000 was used
on the PWA program, resulting in a total
in~reaso of $300,000,000 over the previous
year. In 1935, increases in expenditures
for relief, WPA projeots, o.nd PWA projects
b~ought the total to $714,600,000.
In
1936, $494,500,000 of State and
looal
funds was used for direct re lief, $221, 700,000 was contributed for WI'A projects, and
$528,800,000 was spent on PWA projects.
These State and looal expenditures totaled
$1,245,000,000,whioh was $900,000,000 more
than 1933 e;q,enditures.

Finencln9 of Prosr•m•

The emergency relief and work relief
programs described above were initiated by
the Federal Government as depression measures. They therefore involve large Federal expenditures. Many of the construction
programs that represent expansion ot the
usual activities of Federal agencies were
carried on exclusively with Federal funds.
State and local governmental bodies, however, participated financially in four ot
the major programs, namely, those or the
FERA, the C\fA., the WPA, and the PWA.. It

wae financed from the revenue of State and

local govermnents.
The increase ot $1,740,000,000 in
Federal expenditures on relief and work
programs frClll the calendar y.ar 1933 to
1934 is due principally to the tact that
the programs were not fully organized before the second halt ot 1933. In 1935 the
aggregate Federal outlay was about the
same as in the preceding year. In 1936
the ama.ual expenditure increased by about
$1,000,000,000, as a result or operating
the Works Program in place of Federal
grants for reliet. The amounts of Federal
and local funds used to finance the several programs are shown by calendar years in
Tables 36 and 36. These tables do not include expenditures for the purchase, transportation, and distribution of livestock
under the emergency drought programs of
1934 and 1935. Totaling nearly $350,000,000, these expenditures were made under
the supervision of the FBRA, the Federal
Surplus Relief Corporation and its successor, the Federal Surplus Ccmmodities Corporation.
Also exo luded are loans made by the
Reconstruction Finance
Corporation tor
self-liquidating projects, totaling $240,000,000 through 1936; expenditures of over
$80,000,000 in 1936 tor the Public Assist&.D.Ge program of the Social Security BoardJ
and general recovery expenditures such as
loans to railr9ad.s, industry, banks, and
insurance canpanies, to home and farm owners, and payments to tanners for agricultural adjustment and soil conservation.
Table 37 compares the amount of Federal, State, and local funds used for relief and work relief programs in each
State during ~e oalendar year 1936. Considerable variation in the proportion of
State and looal f'unds occurs from State to
State because of differences in th~ types
ot programs which were being operated. The
concentration in sane States of parts of
certain Federal programs on which no local
participation is required naturally tends
to reduce the proportion of State and local tunds to the total.
Also, al though
most of these projects are conducted within the boundaries of individual States,
their effects and benefits usually extend
over entire areas of the country, and in
sane instances, the projects are Nationwide in their effects.

WPA LIBRARY
For example, the construction of the
Fort Peck Dam and Reservoir in Montana by
the Corps of Engineers involves Federal
expenditures greater than any other single
phase of the recovery and relief program
in that State. other States affected by
large Federal projects whose geographio-al
location is determined by the topography
ot the country are New Merlo o, where numerous reclamation and other conservation
projects are being carried outJ WyCllling,
where the Casper-Alcova Reservoir is being
oonatruoted; Idaho, where the Bureau ot
Reclamation and the Department of Agriculture are carrying out large Federal projects; and West Virginia where the Corps of
Engineers has carried on extensive projects on the Kanawha and Tygart Rivers.
Bmergenoy drought activities
also
have affected the situation in some States,
notably North and South Dakota. In these
State,, a very large proportion of the
population was le.t't
destitute
by the
drought, and many of these persons were
aided by rehabilitation loans of the Resettlement .Administration. The states and
localities, of course, do not participa..te
in the loans.
Tables 38-A to 38-K sumnarize the
amount of Federal funds used on the sev-er-:
al programs in each State during the 4
calendar years, and Tables 39-A to 39-R
show the amount of State and local finaneial participation during the same period.

Explanatory Notes

The Works ProgNUn employmezrt; data reoorded in this seotion relate to persons
employed on work projects fina.noed, in
whole or in part, from f'unds provided by
the Emergency Relief' Appropriation Aots of
1935 and 1936. Qualifying this statement
is the exolusion of the followings (a) administrative employees, (b) workers on NYA
projeots - usually em.ployed at one-third
the soheduled monthly earnings - and persons benefiting through the NYA studezrt
aid program (these are shown in separate
tabulations), (c) employees made available
by sponsors of' projeots. The PWA non-Federal employmezrt figure is an exoeption to
the last qualification sinoe it is based
on total projeot employment, and thus inoludes employment provided through expenditure of' PWA loans
.fran revolving
tunds and of looally raised funds, as well
as of' grants .from Federal funds. Included
in PWA non-Federal employment are workers
on projeots to which grants have been made
from .funds released .for this purpose under
the ERA Aot of' 1936. Employment under
!ihergenoy Conservation Work (mainly CCC)
is included for the whole period covered,
although since about July 1, 1936, this
has been financed f'ran funds made available by direot appropriations and consequently not provided umer the ERA aots.
Enrollees of' this agenoy are distributed
by States as to the residence of' the workers and not by looation of work project as
is the case tor all other data. The Bureau of' Public Roads data include only direct Works Program employment, and thus
exclude employment credited under alternate plan agreements. It should be noted
that reoipients or rural rehabilitation
loans and grants of' the Resettlement Administration are not included in employmezrt reported for that administration.
Tables relating to· :f'unds refer only
to monies provided by the Bnergency Relief'
Appropriation Aots of' 1936 and 1936. Data
relating to the latter aot do not include
:f'unds released for making PWA non-Federal
grazrlis under a provision of' that aot, but
do include the appropriation for relief
and work relief' provided in the First Deticienoy Appropriation Act, Fisoa.l

defined in the fol-

1. "Allocations" represent
amounts
ordered transferred to an aganoy by the
President, ,'18.rrants .for which have been
issued by the Treasury and approved by the
Comptroller General.
2. ''Obligations" represent aotual or
contingent liabilities incurred against
funds allocated by the President. The
figures are cumulative and represent paid
as well as unpaid obligations.
On work
performed under contract, the value of the
contract is set up as an obligation upon
signing or the contract. Where requisitions for supplies, materials, or equipment have been submitted, the amounts are
set up as obligations. It~ns whioh are
oertain to become due in a short period
are reoorded in advanoe, e.g., pay rolls,
rents, travel expenses, eto., are obligated one period in advance.
3. "Expenditures"

issued in payment of' pay rolls and other
certified vouchers, and in full or part
payment against contracts.

Neither

obligations nor expenditures
aocurate reflection of' operations, sime obligations
in part ref'leot f'uture operations, whereas
expenditures lag behind the true ourrent
pioture due to delays in presenting vouchers for payment and to time consumed by
the mechanism of actual payment. The lag
in expenditures may be illustrated by
agencies such as the Bureau of' Public
Roads, where states often wait some t:hne before submitting vouchers fer re:bnburseme n t.

In the tabulations of' TIPA projects
placed in operation, the project costs reoorded are the estimated Federal and sponsors' outlays required to f'inanoe all work
projeots that have been underta.kan by the
Works Progress Administration. Regardless
of' whether projeots were completed or aotive at the time the tabulation wa1 made,
the outlays include the cost of carrying
projects from initiation to completion.
