"With a total of 20,061 persons re ported employed on work projects in Nebraska by the area statistical of fice, State WPA Administrator Felton has announced that he instructed district directors several days ago it would be impossible for them to put additional persons to work on pro jects. The present number of work ers will be maintained by reassigning them to new projects when they com plete work now under way. Felton said. "Nebraska now has employed aa many persons as funds alloted to the state will permit. Un til such time as additional funds are auowea Dy comptroller Mccarl, we will be unable to give the balance of unemployed in the state jobs. The state WPA organization is prepared to give work to all certified unem ployed as rapidly as tne money is available, but we cannot expand fur ther until additional funds are allot ted." Of the total of 20.0G1 now employ ed on WPA jobs in the state, 17,254 have been drawn from the certified relief rolls, while 343 are non-relief workers. The source of the balance of workers, totaling 2,4 64 is not dis closed. The figures for the six districts are as follows: District 1 2,622 relief, 49 non relief. Total, 2,990. District 2 6,924 relief, 9S non relief. Total, 8.043. District 3, of which Cass county Is a part 3,793 relief, 42 non-relief. Total. 4,392. District 4 2,138 relief, 84 non- relief. Total, 2.446. District 5 1.133 relief, 41 non- relief. Total, 1,378. District 6 644 relief, 29 non-re lief. Total. 812. In the third, or Lincoln district, Lancaster county leads with 1,479 relief, 15 non-relief. Total, 1,798. Cass county has 47 relief and four non-relief. Total, 75. Otoe county has 222 relief. 1 non-relief. Total. 228. Nemaha county has .150 relief, 1 non-relief. Total, 167. Richardson county has 23.7 relief, 11 non-relief. Total. 271. Sarpy county. In district 2, has 65 relief and 2 non-relief. Total 67. Douglas county leads the state, with 6,777 relief and 96 non-relief. Total. 7,882, or more than a third of the number employed in the entire state. Incidentally, the rate of pay in Douglas county is the highest of any county in the state for all four clas sifications of labor, ranging from the common labor class, which draws $32 a month in Cass county and $45 in Douglas county, up to the profession al type, which is the highest paid, drawing $48 in Cass county and $79 in Douglas county. From this compilation, it is quite evident that Douglas county is not only receiving more than a third of the total number of jobs but close to half of the money being expended for labor, with material expenditures probably running equally as high. Except for Butler and Polk coun ties, with 45 and 16 respectively, Cass county with 75 total number of employed, is the lowest county in the Lincoln district.
