MINNESOTA HAS SECOND
LOWEST   WPA   SETUP
Christgau's setup of the WPA
in Minnesota has cost less than
any other state in the nation,
save one- 2.3 per cent of total expenditures. One other state has
a lower per cent, 2.2. The average is 3.6 per cent
A. T. Gilbertson returned to
Brainerd Thursday.after having
spent several days last week in
St Paul, attending conferences
with reference to reducing the
WPA payroll and installing a
new and greatly simplified pro-
eeedure for handling the finances for all WPA projects.
Facts regarding- the cost of the
program in Minnesota, were
brought out from a report made
by Harry Hopkins, national administrator, before the House of
Representatives at the time that
body was considering new legis-
tion to continue WPA beyond
June 30.
Another interesting fact obtained from the Hopkins report
was that for every staff man on
WPA, seventy five needy persons have been given employment. On the basis of the cost
in Minnesota, of every $100. expended bv WPA, $97.70 has
been paid to needy persons and
$2.30 used for overhead.
Now that the House has pas-
on in the Senate is probable, Mr.
Gilbertson's office is giving more
and more consideration to the
new program. Indications are
that after June 30, sponsors* will
be required to make a somewhat
larger contribution than heretofore and that the limit of$25,
000 on WPA orooiects will be increased to $50,000.
The meeting held by the Ladies Auxiliary to the V. F. W.
at the Chas. Rounds home last
Saturday, was very well attended. Plans for a permanent organization were discussed and
committees were appointed to
take charge of the various phases of the work.
Another meeting will be held
at the Homer Fraser home, Saturday, May 23, when final arrangements for Decoration Day
will be made. It is hoped that
everyone eligible will attend.

NEW ROAD PLANNING
SURVEY WILL COVER
ALL PARTS OF STATE
Within the next few weeks
field activity in Minnesota's
highway planning survey will be
come general all over the state,
according to an announcement
made by the highwav department. The work is already under way on a small scale, but
will be expanded rapidly in June
and July as traffic steps up to its
summer peak.
The Minnesota survey is part
of a national highway study being conducted by the United States Bureau of Public
Roads in co-operation with state
highway departments.
The first phase of the study
to be initiated in the field is the
weighing and classification of
traffic loads at stragetic points
on the highway.
Parties equipped with portable
truck scales, or loadometers,
will handle this part of the work
analyzing traffic on state, county
and township roads.
Other phases of the study
will include a comprehensive inventory showing the condition of
rural roads both on and off the

The purpose of the survey is
to provide data for long-term
planning of road programs so
that the public will obtain the
maximum highway service at a
minimum of cost.
Data developed in this survey
will supplement the findings ot
the economic road study made
in Minnesota in 1934 under the
supervision of the United States Bureau of Public Roads.
