The Town has been fortunate during the year 1939 in keeping the W. P. A. expenditures low. This is largely due to the fact that a large percent of those enrolled on W. P. A. have been employed on Forestry Work at a comparatively small cost to the town. There has been approximately $201,041.77 spent in the town on Work Relief Projects during the year. Of this amount, the town has spent $27,868.78 and the Federal Government $173,172.99 which is a ratio of 13.8% to 86.2% or more than 6 to 1. The average number on Work Relief during the year was 240. Practically all town sponsored projects have been on sewer, sidewalk and road construction and will be of permanent benefit to the town. We especially call attention to the much needed and permanent im- provements made on High, Kelley, Maple, Maple Ter- race, Prospect and Charles Streets in Three Rivers.
