However, it can be said that the plans indicate the program will last into the coming year. This is the conclusion arrived at from the statement that another long period of work is ahead with an intensified campaign to be plan- ines for next winter. Federal Emergency Relief Ad- ministrator Harry L. Hopkins has fixed six fields of work as a guide to state and local relief organiza- tions in planning their programs. Outline of Program Employment of needy persons would be distributed as follows: 3 percent planning ‘projects, percent public improvements, 30 15 jpercent demolition and housing, 15 percent production and distri- bution of goods needed by the un- employed, 7 percent public wel- fare, health and recreation serv- ‘ice and 10 percent education, arts tand research, The reserve of 20 percent may be distributed among !any of the above mentioned fields of endeavor. Planning work is intended provide employment for engineers, architects, statisticians and other or office. Planning. and coordina- tion of projects relative to state aud d Jocal improvement are stress- jed by dministrator Hopkins. Class Of Work Improvements to public prop- erty is to include work identical j with that carried on by CWA, such as is being done in Key West, the city hall, county court house, waterworks,’ limited high- way and street work, and air. ports. Public buildings, such as school houses, auditoriums, community houses and other institutions come within this field. All projects to be approved by state administra- tions.
