REPORT OF ADMINISTRATOR OF FEDERAL FINAN- CIAL AID, UNDER THE CIVIL WORKS ADMIN- ISTRATION AND THE EMERGENCY RELIEF ADMINISTRATION FOR THIRTEEN MONTHS
Early in December, 1933, the State Administrator ar- ranged through the County Agent to appoint a local C.W.A. Agent, to put men in need of employment to work.
Mr. Robert G. Dean was appointed to that position and held same until the C. W. A. program was changed to E.R.A.
At this time an administrator was appointed for each Town to carry on the work under the State set up. Carry- ing on outdoor projects during the Winter months presents many difficulties and excludes the performance of many projects that would be considered well-worth while. In selecting the work to be done it was necessary to at all times keep in mind the type of work which the Government would permit. Their position being that we must not spend Federal funds for types of work that the Town regularly appropriated money to do. On several occasions we have been able to have this rule set aside by appealing to the State Administrator for special privilege.
This rule finally has been modified allowing one-third only of each monthly grant to be spent upon public property projects. Because of this restriction there has been much criticism of the projects selected, by those not informed in the working of the E.R.A. The matter of employment of the individual as laid down by the rules, also has been greatly misunderstood by the public, and has been the cause
72
of a volume of charges of unfairness, and favoritism. The rules however have been adhered to, as close as it seemed they were intended to be, with reason predominating. Dur- ing the entire period of the past year, the monthly grants of monies have not at any time permitted placing more than two-thirds of the number of applicants to work in any one month. If rules permitted those not fortunate enough to be selected in one month, might be selected the following month, it would greatly assist in some degree to eliminate the dissatisfaction, but here again the rules must be com- plied with upon the selection of workers each month.
Each application for employment is classified by an inspector from the Federal headquarters, and each case must be dealt with by the administrator according to this classification. Each month the Inspector checks upon this work. Pay rolls must show family needs by this classifica- tion. The following is the order of selection by rules, which the administration must be accountable for. Veterans first, those on Welfare Rolls, able to work second. Those with largest responsibilities (large families) and no mem- ber in the family employed next, then those with less fam- ily responsibilities and so on down to the single person with- out responsibilities. With few exceptions this latter individ- ual has not been reached in the selections.
In no case where one member of the family is em- ployed with sufficient renumeration to match the allowable weekly budget amount, as set up by the E.R.A. is it permis- sible to give E.R.A. employment to another member of the family. Extraordinary times like the present demand de- cisive rules and strict adherence to them. This compliance has not always been pleasing, to the Administrator or to the man, who, badly in need of employment, did not, because of limited alloted E.R.A. funds, or rules succeed in getting on the Federal pay rolls. Under present conditions many hardships are bound to be experienced, and your Adminis-
73
trator would gladly alleviate all of these were it within his power to do so. In addition to the money allotments given by the Federal Government, tons of food stuffs have been received and distributed. The knitting project abandoned early in 1934 and replaced later with a sewing project which continues, has, and is, at present under supervision, providing those in need, garments and bedding for their comfort.
The system by which the Government in financing these work projects that families may not be forced upon the Welfare Departments of Cities and Towns, has as many argumentative sides as there are political and economic dif- ferences, but a review of expenditures from Federal grants for wages in this Town, aside from the food stuffs, cloth- ing, etc. brings up the question with tremendous serious- ness, i.e. How would this community forced to it, have cared for those who have through dire necessity received work and wages, food supplies and clothing ?
The figures following are complete as far as it was possible to secure them due to many of the records of early transactions being ordered turned over to the regional office at Brockton. However the C.W.A. and E.R.A. grants are correct while there may be some discrepancy in the material costs.
The sum of Seven Hundred and Fifty Dollars was ap- propriated by Town Meetings for material for E.R.A. pro- jects for above purposes, the balance expended for same purposes was charged to the several Town departments.
In the amounts given below for County and State projects the money transaction was not handled through this office. The amounts for labor however, was directly paid to labor secured from West Bridgewater. Months worked marked with *. The situation remains serious with new applications for employment daily being added to a list already beyond the possibility of employment.

There is a prospect that the State will come to our as- sistance with a Parkway system from Easton line through West Meadow to Bridgewater line. If successful in secur- ing the remaining land required the State official in charge promises to put approximately 100 men to work for an es- timated period of six months.
In closing to correct a mistaken idea of administration expense, regarding salaries. No one, except one clerk, re- ceives any remuneration from E.R.A. grants.
