SELECTING P. W. A.
PROJECTS ANNOUNCED
AUSTIN, June 25.—Preliminary
statement of the principles and
procedure to be followed in selecting
Works Progress Administration pro.
jects was in the hands of county re-
lief administrators this week. The
statement indicated county relief of-
fices will be the point of contact
for sponsors of these projects until
local offices of the Works Progress
Administration have been establish-
ed.
.Sponsors of Works Progress Ad-
ministration projects will include all
authorized governmental agencies,
such as states, counties, cities, vil-
lages and townships. Unofficial
groups, such as boards of trade, clubs
societies, churches and other such in-
stitutions, may not act as sponsor,
but may cooperate unofficially with
sponsors in the origination of proper
proposals.
The following fundamental princi-
ples, the statement said, should be
recognized determining the eligibili-
ty of projects:
(a) The projects should be use-
ful.
(b) Projects shall be of a nature
that a considerable proportion of the
money spent will go into wages for
labor.
(c) Projects which promise ulti-
mate return to the Federal Treasury
of a considerable proportion of the
cost will be sought.
(d) Funds allotted for each pro-
ject should be actually and promptly
spent and not held over until later
years.
(e) In all cases projects must be
of a character to give preference of
employment to those on the relief
rolls.
(f) Projects will be allocated to
localities or relief areas in relation
to the number of workers on relief
rolls in those areas.
(g) Projects should be planned to
move from the relief rolls to work on
such projects or in private employ-
ment the maximum number of per-
sons in the shortest time possible.
Important part of the procedure
will be the planning of projects with
relation to the number, age, sex and
occupational characteristics of per-
sons on relief within the locality
where the proposed project will be
executed.
Projects should also be so planned
that continuous work may be avail-
able for such persons.
Projects may include work relief
projects previously submitted to Tex-
as Relief Commission, and upon
which work has not been started. A
project may cover more than one
particular job, but all jobs included
should be under the jurisdiction of
the same sponsor, all of the same
type, and where sponsor’s jurisdic-
tion covers a large area, all in the
same general location.
In formulatijg n chprg
In formulating projects, each gov-
ernmental agency should confer with
the local office of the Works Pro-
gress Administration (the county
relief office until such Works Pro-
gress Administration offices are es-
tablished) for information concern-
ing the number and occupations of
persons on relief rolls who are to be
put to work. *
Governmental agencies should uti-
lize the facilities of local and state
planning boards in the formulation
of projects, the statement said.
The sponsoring governmental
agency is expected to contribute eq-
uipment, materials, and service to
the maximum amount possible. The
priority of the project will depend
in part on the amount of such con-
tributions and the extent to which
they increases the proportion of la-
bor cost to the total Federal funds
required for the project.
Sample of the form on which pro-
ject proposals will be prepared was
in the hands of county administra-
tors. Using the project proposal form
an analysis can readily be made to
determine the tentative eligibility of
the project. It is necessary that the
labor cost from federal funds repre-
sent a major portion of the total
federal funds required; that the fed-
eral expenditure per man-month be
kept low so that employment can be
given to as many persons as possi-
ble ; that workers from relief rolls
constitute at least 90 per cent of the
total number of persons working on
project. This should be tentatively
determined by consulting county re-
lief officials.
If this analysis of the projects
shows that it fails to meet these con-
ditions, sponsors should confer with
the local Works Progress Administra-
tion officials, who may assist by
suggesting change of design, speci-
fications, or items in the proposal.
Alterations as a result of these sug-
gestions should make the project
suitable for more detailed presenta-
tion and save much time on a de-
tailed labor study.
As has been previously announc-
ed, the nation was divided into four
regions for the establishment of the
earnings of workers on these pro-
jects. Texas was included in the
third region in which salaries will
range from $21 per month for un-
skilled work in rural areas to $75
per month for professional and
technical work in the larger urban
areas.
For the purpose of estimating la-
bor costs of projects, labor will be
classified under four types:
First, unskilled work will include
manual labor for building and con-
struction laborers, janitors, care-
takers and the like, and non-manual
work for messengers, errand boys,
etc.
Second, intermediate work, to be
provided for such manual workers
as truck drivers, blacksmiths’ and
machinists’ helpers, and non-manual
work for typists, stenographers,
calculating machineo operators, etc.
Third, skilled work- will cover man-
ual labor for carpenters, brick lay-
ers, machinists, electricians, and
other skilled workers, and non manual
work for laboratory technicians, sec-
retaries, bookkeepers, etc.
Fourth, professional and technical
work will cover the field of profes-
sional, scientific and technical types
of employment as well as work in
recognised fields of art.
Employes under this schedule of
monthly earnings will work not more
than 8 hours a day or 40 hours a
week.
Those ineligible for employment
in the program include: (1) persons
under 1 years of age; (2) persons
whose age or physical condition makes
employment dangerous for them or
endangers the health of others; (3)
persons who are currently serving
sentence in a penal or correctional in-
stitution.
