Wyoming Valley. Mr. Nobel heartily indorsed the Ideas of Mr.

Grebe who returned thija week, after spending 10 days In Washington and Harrlsburg conferring with various officials on the flood control project 'I firmly believe that the time la ripe for the people along1 the river in Wyoming Valley, to urge that the project be undertaken, The rlr! ftovernment has snent thousands of dollars On surveys, the State departments, are willing' to put engineers at the disposal of the project and as far as I can see, all that needs to be dona is to have the finishing touches put on the plans and have the people 61 Wyoming Valley announce that they want the project and are willing to ee that a day's, work is given in return for a day's pay," Grebe declared. Grebe commended Congressman C. Murray Turpln and Dr. Leo C. Mundy for the time and effort they have spent In behalf of.

the project and said that it could be tarted by May 1 If the rest of the people of Wyoming Valley showed as much interest. in the Mr. Grebe said ha has been intern, ested' in the possibility of the project for 15 years and has spent much time and money trying to get actioh on it. 'I don't want any of the glory and I won't make a nlckle of the project goes through because I no longer own a foot of land along the river, but-1 would like to see the people and the communities get the benefit of project," Grebe said. 7 Pointing out that Government engineers had estimated ths cost of the project at Mr.

Grebe asserted that the nearly $1000,000 a month that Is now being spent in Luzerne County for food relief could both furnish the relief and finance the project. "As I see it, the. project should not cost the local communities and people a cent and should not increase the cost to the Government over what Is now being spent (for he said. Referring to data which he. said tie had obtained from the headquarters Luzerne County Emergency Grebe said- that Its expenditure for relief in January was $857,476.12 and in February, $903,948.94, plus $40,000 in surplus ood furnished by the Government.

The total number of cases receiving relief from the relief board on Mtarcn was 74.84J individuals, Mr. Grebe said. Only 12.2 per cent of these do not live in Wyoming Valley, he eald. There are 2,419 persons receiving relief in the Dallas or .2.81 per cent of the total, he said, and 8,059 receiving relief in the Hazleton area, or 9.39 per cent of the total. If one-sixth of the money now being spent for relief In the county were used to provide relief for the approximately 10,500 nort-residenta of Wyoming Valley and for those Wyoming Valley relief recipients who do not have able bodied men In their the other flve-sixthsjcould be used to finance the Susquehanna flood control project, Mr.

Grebe said. If $600,000 a month were used from relief funds for the project, it could provide $15 a week jobs for 10,000 men, Mr. Grebe figures. At the rate of 50 cents an hour, working six hours a day, five days a week, the workmen would get nearly twice as much as the average $8.40 in relief allowed a family a according to Mr. Grebe idea.

The 10,000 men would be drawn from among the 75,000 persons on relief In Wyoming Valley, removing the greater part of these people from the relief lists for more than Since the money for relief Is being provided by the Federal and State Governments, this financing of the project would not cost the communities any money, nor would It cost tht Federal and State governments any more than they are mow spending, Mr. Grebe declared. Nor would there be any costs to the Federal and State governments lor damages, be. said. Mr.

Grebe asserted that of 50 owners of land along the river with whom he conferred, not one would ask damages. Each of these landholders Is eager to safeguard their properties and would forego any damages that might result during work on project. All of the communities from Pittston to Nantlcoke indorsed the project more than a year ago and the coal companies, which had formerly opposed the plan fearing tax Increases, also indorsed it when the danger of tax boosts passed, Mr. Grebe said. All that remains to be- done, Mr-Grebe declared, is for the plans to be whipped Into shape, the people of Wyoming Valley to express en-thuslasm for the project, and the Federal or State governments earnestly urged to begin the project.
