According to the July 19, 1935, Alva Review-Courier (ARC) -- WPA School Jobs Urged - Key Suggests Types of Work Wanted -- "School districts will be permitted to file WPA projects for repairs, rebuilding, and building and ground improvements, a letter from Col. W. S. Key, State Director, to E. O. Fisher, County superintendent, showed today.

"Only worthwhile projects, benefits from which should extend over a period of many years, should be considered. Col. Key advised the school head.

"Selection of proper projects is important, he said. Mr. Fisher advised school boards that they would be required to furnish material for projects considered. The projects must be drawn by certified engineers.

"In order to get the project, the boards must set up in their estimates the funds needed to purchase the material. The superintendent suggested storm caves as worthwhile projects for districts not needing building repairs."   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
