REPORT OF FEDERAL EMERGENCY RELIEF ADMINISTRATION
The CWA was for January, February and March, and the ERA was for the balance of the year 1934.
The total amount received from the Federal Govern- ment and spent in Middleboro for labor alone was $102,728.56 since the work started in December, 1933. This gave em- ployment to an average of about 155 persons.
Allotments have increased each month so that 232 per- sons were working in December, 1934.
Some months have four work-weeks and others have five, which has made it necessary to discharge men on the five-week months to keep within our allotment.
Total applications for work number 554.
William G. Boynton was the administrator until Decem- ber 1, 1934, at which time I received my appointment.
Sewing Project has been in the Library, employing an average of 18 women for the entire year, although 29 women have been working for the last 4 months. Articles such as girls' dresses, ladies' garments, boys' blouses and two-piece suits, men's shirts and pants, pillow cases, sheets, and many other commodities have been made. These are for dis- tribution among the needy, upon request. The Federal money received was $8,233.10 and the town expense was $252.94, making a total of $8,486.04.
Trimming of the Trees Project received from CWA $1,162.59, and the town expense was $107.29, making a total of $1,269.88. Our shade trees are in much better condition, having had their dead branches removed. This work ended April 1.
