ma ked that Mi Mary Murchison

FROM JOHNSON
ON NEW SCHOOL
Replying to letters written by a
committee from the Bastrop Pa ent-
Teacher Association, headed by Mrs.

don Johnson, relative to the Bastrop

ing communications have been re-
ceived:

Mrs. W. E. Maynard,
Committee of the P. T. A.
Bastrop, Texas.
My dear Friend:
At thi- writing it is impossible to
tell whethei the Public Works Ad-
ministration will have another pro-
gram duiing the coming year or up-1
«>n what basis that program will be!
operated if it is made possible,
A I havt said on every occasion j
when Bastrop p ople have talke.l
with me, I'll be glad to help the peo-
ple get approval for any application
tht v wish to make for a school build-
ing.
1 am confident the Works Progress
Administration p oject would ha< •
een approved had Bastrop been able
to -how that it had the local funds
necessary, for the sponsor's contribu-
tion.
I'm enclosing for your information
a copy of a wire in reply to the
telegram 1 sent the State WPA of-
fice at San Antonio and you may be
sure that just as soon as Bastrop's
funds are available I'll do all I can
toward getting the project approved.
With kind remembrances and good
wishes,
Sincerely
LYNDON B. JOHNSON
