TODIG UNTIL SNOW Public Construction Program Bids Fair to Reach Total of $1,000,000,000. By the Associated Press. Thousands of the men employed on the expanded highway construction program are expected by the adminis- tration to swing picks and shovels simost, until the snow flies. A tapering off on projects will begin in September, but the reduction in the number at work will go it has stopped in the cuer North. Congress sought to aid the idle last session by increasing the regular Fed- eral aid appropriation from $75,000,000 to $125,000,000 and advancing an emer- | oy fund of $80,000,000 to be repaid | :;nsum over a period of years. It aiso app: ted $12,000,000 for roads | and trails in national parks and forests. 294,734 Were at Work in June. These funds, together with State ap- propriations, have given employment to | many thousands. Figures for June cb- | tained by the President’s Committee on | Employment showed 274,73¢ men at work in 37 States. At the beginning of the year it was | estimated that $1,000,000,000 would be spent by the Federal and State govern- | ments and that another $1,000,000,000 | would be expended by county, municipal and township agencies. The former program, on the basis of econtracts under way or already comw leted, bids fair to approximate $1.000.- 0,000. No figures on county, munici- | pal and township expenditures are uvufl- able. Active projects under way on Auzu‘t 1 in the Federal aid program totaled $442,500,000. Funds to Lapse September 1. | inserted a provision in the | $80,000,000 emergency appropriation that | all unexpended funds lapse on September 1. This was done so that the emergency vu‘k would be started much earlier in the Spring. Most States applied for their portions of this money so that it would be earned by that date. States, in arranging for early applica- | tion of the emergency money, provided | that work after September 1 would be completed through expenditure of regu- lar Federal aid allotments and State funds.
