C. W. A. MAKES FINAL CUT name. Although no official information has been received by the Central Committee, it is supposed that a similar plan of relief work will be set up to take care of the relief load now carried by the CWA, AS ‘time draws nearer to the deadline those administering the relief are becoming more and more anxious to get more information as to just what form this relief will take. , GARDENING PLANNED Information has been received that a gardening plan, similar to that conducted by the County last year is to be sponsored by the FERA, Seeds are to be furnished by the FERA and ground and wat- er will have to be “provided locally. The project is carried on through and the agricultural department, is to be supervised by County agents, Since we are at present without a county agent, some oth- er plan will have to be worked locally for this supervision. A report from Mr. Earl assistant disbursing officer out Case, shows that the total expended on CWA projects to date in Duchesne Co- unty is $47,235.06. Of this amount $34.947,27 went to the improvement of County roads, and $2,613.20 was spent on women’s projects, mostly with FERA funds. A complete report on these expenditures will be available soon after the work comes to an end. Tuttle’s wheel torn from it and the ornia car had a running torn loose.
