P. A. Offers Many Developments By E. A. Baugh, Project Director Works Progress Administration.

San Antonio, August the greatest opportunity that Texas counties and towns have ever enjoyed for the development of their public facilities is offered today by Works Progress Administration. That hardly a city or county tn the state is not in need of some type of public improvement is a statement which cannot well be denied. Works Progress 'AdnYinflstration is prepared to provide funds for the employment of pju scores of different types of projects. Equipped to handle thousands of projects proposals promptly, the state and districtt WPA offices arc at the service of every section of the state. It is upon their own speed in submitting proposals and upon the care of designs and planning exercised by Texas sponsors that each section m' the state must depend Cor its participation in the benefits of WPA.

Unfortunately, many sponsors failed plan carefully the early projects which were submjtted to the state WPA office, consequently impeding their own progress and that of the entire program. It is hoped and believed that this type of delay will be avoided in the future. With the Texas relief load composed largely of unskilled and semiskilled laborers, projects offering work for this type of employe will find much favor. Road-work, for example, is most easily adaptable to cur available supply of man-power. LIVE OAK-PECAN GROVE M.
