There are a number of projects now in progress at the naval sta- tion, employing men from the CWA groups, and the expenditures will total approximately $8,000. These items include cleaning and painting the sheet steel piling at the submarine base, including cards on CWA or CWS projects; the bulkhead and the crib. were on the active relief lists as of November 16. Cases have been reported to the headquarters in Tallahassee, it is shown, where men are working on the CWA lists who were not on the relief lists before November 16, and a check up is necessary to determine why these cards were} issued and by whom. A number of cards have been recalled at Key West, principally from men who have been declared too old to work five days weekly. It is understood that the great- er number of these will be supplied with certain articles of food and| money, on orders providing for direct relief. The maximum sum allowed those on direct relief is} $9 monthly, it is said. U. S. DESTROYER LEAVES ON TRIP COAST GUARD CUTTER SAUKEE SAILS FOR ST.
