Marion County’s Township Load ‘Is Lightest in Five Years.

By RICHARD LEWIS “The tide of relief in Indiana has ebbed to the .lowest point in the State’s post-depression history, a statistical survey showed today.

ing employment for the nation’s réarmament program, Federal workrelief rolls are now at the lowest point since the WPA started five years ago. In Marion County, the State's largest industrial center, fhe town-

rolls drop steadily toward 1937 lows, Drab in themselves, the statistics

peak of its relief program which is now diminishing. . ;

WPA Staff Is Cut

Last week, WPA employment throughout the State totaled 49,752 workers, compared with 60,800 six months: ago, 75,409 in June a year ago and 81,508 five years ago. Dras-

tic WPA cuts brought the employment totals down. There was a 10 per cent cut in the number of administrative employees for the first time in -WPA'’s history. In Marion County, 5695 were on the WPA rolls last week. This was a little more than half of the 10,412 employed a year ago and 1868 below the 7563 employed last January. Only 6611 families in the county were receiving relief in May, the last month for which township relief figures are available. This "was 1660 cases below: last February's load of. 8271 and a drop of 1881 cases from June a year ago. Unemployment Relief Commission figures showed a 9854 drop in relief cases from January, when the State load was 56,732, to April, when the case load was 46,878. The State’s relief low was in June, 1937, when there were 28,444 cases.

WPA Reaches Peak In the summer of 1938, one out of every five Hoosiers was receiving aid from the Federal or township

. | relief programs.

WPA employment was at its peak,

June, 1938, in the state and to 13,384 in Marion County. The Federal aid program was the largest since January, 1934, when 103,009 persons were employed on CWA, the WPA’s predecessor. The state's relief load, however, had peaked three years earlier, during the transition period between FERA and WPA. There were 92,720 cases on the direct relief rolls in January, 1935, the all-time high for township relief in Indiana. Marion County also hit a relief high at that time with 14,651 cases on the township rosters. WPA opened its doors July 1, 1935. Five months later, it had employed 81,508 persons, 12,483 of them in Marion County alone. As the WPA program gained momentum, the township relief rolls began to recede. Thousands flocked to WPA.

Relief Load Shrinks

The State's relief load dropped from 70,374 cases in June, 1935, to 54,973 in January, 1936. In Marion County, the load tapered from 13,133 to 9437 in the same period of rising Federal employment. As direct relief thinned, WPA rolls increased until they reached the peak of 93,000 in 1938. Throughout 1933, WPA employment was high. At the end of the year, the downward trend began. The State WPA dropped to 82,472 in January, 1939, then to 75,409 in June, 1939. Relief rolls were down also in June, 1939, when the load was 47,404. : The WPA rolls continued to decline steadily through 1939 and direct relief followed generally, although they showed several sharp but brief spurts with each WPA employment cut. rs
